A supposed leak of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II + running Android 4.0 with TouchWiz UI has appeared on the inter webs. Industry insider Eldar Murtazin is responsible for the above image of the suspicious looking phone. A close look reveals that the buttons below have been updated to host the new flavor of the Android platform, Ice Cream Sandwich. The device is being considered as the Samsung Galaxy S2 plus purely because of its resemblance to the S2 and the fact that a benchmark score has also popped up on an3dbenchxl website. The device is running a 1.5 GHz processor on a Android 2.3.4 platform, but that could have changed by now.
Samsung has officially confirmed that the Galaxy SIII, the highly awaited successor of the Galaxy SII will be announced at a separate launch event, much later than MWC and close to commercial availability of the device.
The phone earlier rumored to being launched at the Mobile World Congress 2012 held this month in Barcelona, will now be launched later. The phone is rumored to have a dual core processor which will run upto 2.0GHz natively.
