Last week, I had reported that our Sprint contact confirmed, that the rumored Samsung Within was indeed coming to Sprint as their version of the Samsung Galaxy S 2.
Well today, AndroidSpin.com brings you even bigger news. You wont have to wait long to get your SGS2 fix; our source confirms that it will be released late July. We don’t have an exact date, or exact pricing, however, a rep hinted at $350 before a MIR. This is big news for Sprint users who are waiting for the big next device.
We will be sure to bring you more news as we get it.

[...] 1. Samsung Galaxy S II: Yes, the international Galaxy S II (unannounced) will make a triumphant debut on Sprint with its stunning Super AMOLED Plus display, albeit at the traditional WVGA resolution. With the first Galaxy S, Sprint re-branded the handset as the Epic 4G and added some finishing touches to its partnership with Samsung, equipping its model with front- and rear-facing cameras, rear LED flash, 4G WiMax support, and also a sliding QWERTY keyboard. Whether Sprint continues to stand out of the pack with its own Galaxy S II variant this year is unknown, but at least we now are hearing rumors that Sprint’s second-generation Galaxy smartphone will be called the Samsung Within. Estimated time of arrival? Sometime in late July so hold on to your seats. The Galaxy S II may also land on other carriers as well, but Sprint’s the only one to give you truly unlimited 4G sans data caps, sans throttling. Pricing for the handset may be $350 before mail-in-rebate, but hopefully it will inch down closer to $300 to remain competitive. (via AndroidSPIN) [...]
Whoah! Wondering how this stacks up to the Motorola Photon 4G (aka Atrix) which will also be at Sprint by then as well. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. I’m leaning on the GS2 though. Heard so many good things.
Not sure, I’ll see if I can get some more info on the Photon for you.
hey dont know if u have the info, but this phone should blow the doors off the photon. Photon i believe will only have half a gig of ram, and is only a 1 gig dualcore. the within is gonna rock a full gig of ram, with a 1.2 gig dualcore. also the front camera is 2mp, i also believe the photon is 4 in, the within should be 4.3, not to mention the color of that super amoled plus screen is gonna kill the photon, hell the evo 3d cant stand up to the within. im super excited for this phone!! p.s. i work in the mobile dept at bestbuy. = )
its 1 gig of ram & most likely will be a 1 ghz dual core but rumor is theyll try & compete with sgs2 & overclock to 1.2 ghz which would put it at the same benchmark scores or higher. either way its going to be a good phone. i just hope that the screen is better than the one on the atrix because if its not then im definitely going for sgs2!
im wondering the same thing, but if the photon’s benchmarks are close enough or better it will help me lean towards the photon because of the qHD, but if the qHD’s screen quality is on par then im definitely getting the photon. im pretty sure if samsung was thinking of the tegra2 then it must be close to there specs or maybe an overclocked tegra? 1.2 ghz instead of just 1 ghz…well i have the evo3D right now & its going back on the 23rd of july, so i really hope sgs2 & photon are both out.

Nice scoop! I’ll be sure to add you as the source!
Thanks Mike

Horrible horrible name.
yes, it definitely has us thrown off as well, then again, all of the SGS2 US names are a bit odd….

I wonder if the specs will be the same as the UK version?
US carries just love to mess with their Android phones. Why is it necessary to have a carrier specific version of an international phone. It only causes problems and update delays. If they think it gives them a competitive edge they can’t be more mistaken, it’s just a bad call and makes me avoid those devices entirely.
Carriers should just provide the communication infrastructure and stop messing with our phones.
The international SGS2 is incompatible with Sprint’s CDMA network, though.
US Carriers have many different networks (GSM, CDMA, TDMA, IDEN, PCS) so they all need phones that will work on their specific network.
the best thing that could happen for US consumers is if all the carriers were on the same type of network as the rest of the world but like you said, they think they have an advantage by being on different networks but they don’t.

Wondering if the Apple litigation had something to do with it?
This is very similar timing as to the original release of the SGS.

Although the design is obviously set in stone already, I sincerely hope that Sprint did not request a change from the international design — it is just BEAUTIFUL!
I always accidentally trigger the fourth “SEARCH” button on my Evo 4G and it drives me crazy.
