In the meantime, AT&T subscribers who are already rocking the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G for their mobile weapon of choice are content to take advantage of the leaked ICS ROMs in the past to get a feel of how the latest Android version will look on the handset. In fact, the latest leaked ICS ROM for the handset was reportedly as close as possible to the real thing thereby fueling speculations that AT&T is bound to rollout the ICS update for the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G sooner than expected. That is not the only good thing that is going on for the handset though and the next bit of news will definitely make those wanting to get their handset on the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G for that matter.

With this SoC, the handset has a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at 1.2 GHz and a full gigabyte of RAM to give it a snappy performance. In addition to that, the handset has a very generous storage space pegged at 16GB and a dedicated microSD card slot makes memory expansion possible on the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G. It has the same SuperAMOLED Plus display found in the original version of the handset with a 4.3-inch diagonal and 480 x 800 resolution while its camera department will definitely wow you with its 8MP rear-facing autofocus camera capable of 1080p recording and a 2MP front-facing video call camera.
