Samsung has developed yet another Galaxy S II variant for a particular carrier. This time, Japanese carrier KDDI has landed a version that includes a WiMAX radio. However, unlike the 4.5-inch display toting Sprint Epic 4G WiMAX variant, the KDDI version comes with a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display with a 1280×720 resolution.
Also upgraded is the processor of the device. Instead of a 1.2GHz processor on the Sprint Epic 4G, the KDDI Galaxy S II carries a 1.4GHz chip making it very similar to the Galaxy S II HD LTE, expect of course for the WiMAX radio.
It also carries an 8-megapixel camera on the rear of the device and 2-megapixel camera on the front. It offers 1080p video recording, Bluetooth 3.0, microSD, NFC and 16GB of internal memory. The new Galaxy S II variant, however, will continue to ship with the now outdated Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS.
