Introducing the amazing new Galaxy S smartphones from Samsung

With so many smartphones out there, it can be difficult getting noticed… for some, that is. For the new Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G from Samsung, standing out is no problem at all. With their giant, stunningly vivid Super AMOLED Plus displays and slim, lightweight designs, the Android-powered “super” phones practically challenge you not to stare.

Fortunately, the more you stare the more there is to see. That’s because both phones offer lightning-quick 4G performance and powerful processors able to increase the speed of everything on screen.

With the Galaxy S II 4G, available exclusively from Bell and Virgin - and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G, available exclusively from Rogers, seeing truly is believing.

Smartphones that go beyond smart

Smartphones that go beyond smart

The Samsung Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G may be among the first of the 4G smartphones, but truly they belong in a category all to themselves. With their giant, vivid, Super AMOLED Plus touchscreens and ultra-sleek lightweight designs, they certainly don’t look the same as their contemporaries. And with their blisteringly fast 4G data speeds and powerful 1.2GHz processors (dual-core, for the Galaxy S II 4G), they don’t perform the same, either.

The Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G simply give you more of everything you want. More speed. More power. More visual brilliance. And with the Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform driving it all, they give you more capabilities and more multitasking as well.

In fact, you could even make the case that the Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G are cameras just as much as they are phones. Both offer exceptional 8MP sensors and HD video recording capabilities, helping you capture every moment that matters. As well, they feature secondary, front-facing cameras for video chats.

There’s no denying it, the Galaxy S II 4G and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G represent a new breed of smartphone. And they’re here to stay.

Seeing is believing

Both the Galaxy S II 4G and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G truly push the limits of how large a smartphone screen can be, while still remaining incredibly portable. The 4.3-inch display on the Galaxy S II 4G and the 4.5-inch giant on the Galaxy S Infuse 4G give you more space for videos, Web pages, apps and everything else you love. Plus, you’ll enjoy a larger touchscreen surface, making typing and navigation a breeze.

With Samsung’s acclaimed Super AMOLED Plus technology, the big-screen displays of the Galaxy S II 4G and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G deliver a big picture in a big way. Super AMOLED Plus technology adds 50% more sub-pixels than the already crystal clear Super AMOLED screens, letting you enjoy visual content that is richer, clearer and more stunning than ever before. Movies, photos, Web pages – on the Galaxy S II 4G and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G, every kind of multimedia content looks sensational.

Satisfy your need for speed

What the big-screen Galaxy S Infuse 4G does for display size, the Galaxy S II 4G does for speed.

Downloading content, streaming videos, switching between applications – everything you do is faster and more fluid than ever before.

No slouch in the speed department either, the Galaxy S Infuse 4G combines up to 21 Mbps download speeds with the power of a 1.2GHz processor. As with the Galaxy S II 4G, you’ll enjoy never-before-experienced speed in all your activities. Gaming and HD videos, especially, benefit from the increased horsepower. Graphics and fast action sequences are rendered faster and smoother, without any motion blur or buffering, even while running other programs in the background. You’ll be amazed what a little speed can do.

Even better, you’ll have complete access to the Android Market and its ever-growing selection of thousands of games, productivity tools and everything in between. With Android installed, your phone never stops getting better.

Deceptively portable design

Think large screen sizes add up to large phones? Think again. The Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G are expansive only where you want them to be – on the screen. The phones themselves are lightweight and extremely thin. At 8.49mm thick, the Galaxy S II 4G is the thinner of the two, but only by half a millimetre. Both phones are built to slide easily into your pocket or your purse, without adding virtually any bulk.

In terms of combining form with function, there’s not much better than the Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G. Sleek and attractive, both phones also feature smudge-resistant displays and non-slip exteriors. You’ll never want to let them go.

Capture memories day and night

Capture memories day and night

The Galaxy S II 4G and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G don’t just offer an increase in speed, power and display size, their improvements are all-around. For visual evidence of this, look no further than each phone’s 8-megapixel rear and front -facing cameras. Both the Galaxy S II 4G’s and the Galaxy S Infuse 4G’s cameras take brilliant, exceptionally clear photos in nearly any environment. They feature built-in LED flash, to help you capture late-night shots, and even record crystal clear HD video (1080p for the Galaxy S II 4G vs. 720p for the Galaxy S Infuse 4G.)

As great as they are at shooting photos and videos, with their large Super AMOLED Plus displays, the Galaxy S II 4G and Galaxy S Infuse 4G are even better at displaying them. With rich, natural colours and true-to-life sharpness, your creations have never looked so good. It’s just like having your own high-capacity HD scrapbook, only better, because these scrapbooks don’t just store memories – they capture them.
