Samsung Galaxy S II - AT&T (photos)

The Samsung Galaxy S II finally heads to AT&T on October 2. Get a closer look at the sleek and powerful Android smartphone in CNET's hands-on photo gallery.

As the successor to the Samsung Captivate, the Galaxy S II offers a faster dual-core processor, a more vibrant display, and better cameras, among other things. The Gingerbread Android smartphone will be available from AT&T on October 2 for $199.99.

Running on top of Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread is TouchWiz 4.0. The latest version of Samsung's custom user interface includes enhancements that make the UI more useful and polished, like the ability to resize live widgets and more controls in the notifications area.

Unlike the T-Mobile and Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, the AT&T model has a smaller 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, which in turn makes for a more manageable device that's easier to hold and pocket.

It seems like we hear this every other week, but for now, the Samsung Galaxy S II is AT&T's thinnest 4G smartphone.

The bottom of the device features a Micro-USB port.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is equipped with a main 8-megapixel camera with flash and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video calls and self-portraits.

Not only was the camera fast, it also delivered great pictures. Photos were bright and sharp and showed great detail. Return to the Samsung Galaxy S II review.
