Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules variant heading to T-Mobile US

Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules variant heading to T-Mobile US and Telus

Breaking news this morning is that the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules variant has been snapped and is definitely heading to T-Mobile. PocketNow and TMONews separately snagged images of the device that’s said to beat them all. It has also been confirmed that the Samsung Hercules is indeed a Samsung Galaxy S II variant. As it stands, we’ll not see any LTE for this beast and we’ll have to make do with HSPA+ and 42Mbps which isn’t too shabby at all. As you will see from the back shot in the images, the phone clearly states it’s a GSII variant.

Update on Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules specifications

Okay, for us here at NFC Rumors the concerning news is a lack of news. Not in any report that is surfacing this morning is there any mention of NFC. The rumors from back in May suggested the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules would be an NFC phone and now that little detail appears to have dropped off the map. Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules could always still ship with NFC but we will just have to wait and keep our ears to the ground for more details as and when they emerge.

To say the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules variant is highly anticipated is an under statement. The dual-core handset is expected to land on T-Mobile instead of the standard Samsung Galaxy S II. The original rumors from the leaked roadmap suggested that the 4.5-inch Gingerbread superphone would be sprinting along with a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor and not Samsung’s Exynos thinker. 1GB of RAM and 16GB internal ROM storage would seal the deal. 1080p Video recording from an 8 mega pixel shooter will also be graphed onto the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules and we still hold out hope it has the all important NFC.

When we find out more, we will let you know. September 26th can’t come soon enough because if rumors are correct and that date is the date, we are sure many of us will be proud owners of Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules.
