Samsung's Dual-Core Galaxy Smartphone Lands in Hong Kong

The Wall Street Journal this week reported on the release of the Samsung’s Galaxy S II smartphone in Hong Kong. Samsung released the handset in Europe in early May.

It’s unclear when we’ll see the smartphone in the United States. A Verizon Wireless spokeswoman misspoke when she told Computerworld that the Galaxy S II would be available some time in July. The carrier retroactively amended the statement, saying that the spokeswoman was actually referring to the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

However, considering that Samsung just gave a handful of developers free Galaxy S II phones, and the smartphone is already releasing in other parts of the world, it’s safe to assume the U.S. release isn’t very far off.
