Not satisfied with the Samsung Galaxy S II or looking for a more affordable, yet highly capable Galaxy smartphone? Fear not, the Samsung Galaxy Z (currently available only in Sweden) will be repackaged and sold as the Galaxy R in the UK. If you’re worried the Galaxy R can’t compete with the beloved Galaxy S II, let’s just say the apple doesn’t far fall from the tree.
The Samsung Galaxy R headed to the UK is identical to its Swedish counterpart. This means you can expect the same 4.2-inch S-LCD display, Tegra 2 chipset with dual 1 GHz Cortex-A9 cores, 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, and 8GB of internal memory with microSD card slot. Size and weight should remain 125.3 x 66.1 x 9.5mm and 135 grams.
As you can see, concessions have been made to warrant the price cut. By using a 4.2-inch S-LCD, 5-megapixel camera and Tegra 2 chipset, Samsung will deliver an affordable Galaxy S II alternative with highly competitive features. Since Samsung has not made the pricing official we ask you — how much would you pay for a contract-free Galaxy R?
