If there ever was a phone that could match the iPhone for speed, it is the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. Undoubtedly the most powerful phone to hit the market…it is more powerful on paper than my iPad, or my parent’s desktop computer for that matter…
I have to admit that I had to double check the specs after reading them, as they don’t seem like they could ‘fit’ into a handheld device this size. (at least not without a 13-inch fan and a heat-sink attached anyway).
If computer power is doubling every 18 Months, then judging by this device, Mobile processing power is doubling every 12 months! It is better in nearly every aspect than its predecessor, the I9000 which launched in June 2010. It has a bigger screen, double the RAM, double the processing power, stronger battery, double the memory…and the list of ‘accolades’ goes on and on…

The expected launch date of this beast is Q1 2011. So we can probably expect it to reach our shores sometime in June/July of this year.
If you are no fan of Samsung or Android for that matter (myself included) – then the specs of this phone alone will make you a fan.

Here is also a little taste of this phone in action:
