4G Samsung Galaxy S II X Coming Soon Live On TELUS

Samsung Hercules growing in the world phone. Telus in favor of the more traditional Galaxy S II moniker -- albeit with its own unique twist, of course. The company's got an official page up for its forthcoming flagship, dubbed the "4G Samsung Galaxy S II X." Talk about a mouthful, right? The device mirrors T-Mobile's version rather closely, improving upon the original model with a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, HSPA+ download speeds of up to 42Mbps and -- here's where it gets interesting -- a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU. We're still unsure of the chipmaker responsible for supporting the AWS 4G radio, but our money's on the Qualcomm APQ8060. The ever-frustrating "coming soon" is attached to the page, which seems to be fairly practices with new phones lately regardless.

The specs on the other hand are there and they match with previous ones mentioned: 1.5Ghz dual-core CPU, 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus WVGA display, WiFi with hotspot, eight-megapixel camera with full HD video recording capability, two-megapixel front facing webcam, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board.
