Samsung Galaxy SII Plus at CES
Samsung Galaxy S II Plus
Galaxy SII has sold in tens of millions, and even though Jelly Been update has been promised and delayed, it may just be that owners of this wonderful phone may never see the day when newest android update is granted. Instead Samsung introduced a clone of SII called Galaxy SII Plus with Jelly Bean on top. Here is what Samsung’s spokesman told TechCrunch:
“With the S II Plus being released with 4.1 we will investigate if the original version [ie the Galaxy S II] will also enjoy the upgrade.”
Samsung Galaxy SII Plus is essentially the same phone with android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS with NFS functionality enabled.
In Samsung’s words:
The GALAXY S II Plus also sports a range of additional features that boost performance and the overall experience in entirely new ways. Popup Video allows a video to play anywhere on the screen in a resizable pop-up window while simultaneously running other tasks, eliminating the need to close and restart videos when checking new emails or surfing the Web. S Voice lets users control the phone using their voice; and Voice Unlock lets users unlock the phone using their own voice.
When and where Samsung Galaxy SII Plus will be released is unsure at this point. UK has been told that it will not get it, so SII owners can pray that decision to include SII in the upgrade list of devices will be a positive one.
