Description

This is the CDMA version of the Samsung Galaxy S II which will be making noise on US Cellular’s lineup, especially when it’ll be flaunting a 4.5” Super AMOLED Plus display – thus, keeping it in line to some of the recent variants of the handset we’ve been seeing. Rounding out its specs sheet, it features an 8-megapixel auto-focus rear camera, 16GB of internal storage, microSD card slot, Swype keyboard, 3G connectivity, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

  • Technology:

    Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

    Positioning - This field shows the positioning systems supported by the device. There are three main types: GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS.

GLONASS - GLONASS is a global positioning system, developed by the Russian Federation. It’s very similar to GPS, but isn’t so popular in cell phones.
