Samsung Electronics declared the launch of the Mobile HD era by unveiling the world’s first LTE smartphone with the HD Super AMOLED GALAXY S II HD LTE. With HD (1280X720) resolution, the HD Super AMOLED is the first AMOLED display to feature 316 pixels per inch (ppi), higher than the standard 300ppi, resulting in substantial improvements in screen sharpness and readability. A wide variety of high-resolution content services that are provided via the LTE communication network, such as high-resolution video telephony, real-time VOD services, and network games, can be enjoyed more vividly thanks to the HD SuperAMOLED. The GALAXY S II HD LTE will serve as an ‘HD theater in hand’ by offering an optimal environment for watching films, including the large 4.65-inch screen, screen ratio of 16:9, 110% natural color reproduction, and 180-degree viewing angle that ensures a clear image from far left or right. The phone supports multiple modes including LTE, HSPA+ (for SKT and KT) and Rev.A (for LGU+), and WCDMA/GSM (roaming), enabling a domestic user to seamlessly access the fastest high speed wireless Internet. Substantial improvements were made to the design as well. The narrow bezel technology was employed for the front to make the frame of the 4.65-inch AMOLED display as thin as possible. Emphasis was thus placed on a slim, refined design. The slim feature (9.5mm) ensures a more comfortable grip. Other cutting-edge smartphone functions are provided, including a large battery capacity of 1850mAh, NFC (Near Field Communication), flash support, 8 megapixel camera, WiFi a/b/g/n support, and Bluetooth 3.0+HS.
