The smartphone offers the largest screen to date at 4.52-inches which is also a Super AMOLED Plus display.
It runs on Sprint’s WIMAX 4G and has a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 16 GB internal storage memory.
Like the rumored iPhone 5, the smartphone also comes with an 8 megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p full-high definition recording and a 2 megapixel front.
Galaxy S2 also comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Samsung TouchWiz UI already pre-installed.
The Galaxy S2 is entering the market before the highly anticipated iPhone 5 which the smartphone seems specifically created to go up against.
The iPhone 5 will run on Apple’s iOS 5.
It is also rumored to include a larger screen than the iPhone 4 along with an 8 megapixel camera which is said to take more impressive pictures than something produced by a camera company.
No information on the iPhone 5 has been officially confirmed by Apple at this time.
