Samsung has yet another superphone up its sleeve but it’s not any better than the S2 — the Samsung Galaxy Z is supposed to be a cheaper alternative to the i9100 SII .
The Galaxy Z is basically like the SLCD equivalent of the Galaxy S2 and sporting a different chipset, the NVidia Tegra 2. At 9.5mm thin and 135g in weight, it’s not as sexy as the S2 though.
Samsung I9103 Galaxy Z specs:
4.2″ SC-LCD capacitive touchscreen @ 480 x 800 pixels
Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor
GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset
1GB RAM, 2GB ROM
8GB storage
up to 32GB via microSD card
5MP auto-focus camera with LED flash
1.3MP front-facing camera
720p video recording
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
GPS with aGPS support
FM radio
Li-Ion 1650mAh battery
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread

The Galaxy Z was outed a little early than Samsung wanted because its telecom partner in Sweden (three) posted it on their website offering the handset for pre-order.
The specs are nothing to scoff at either — it’s still powerful and basically matched the specs of the Optimus 2X in some areas.
The Galaxy S2 is still very popular so I reckon we won’t see the Galaxy Z in the Philippines anytime soon. We’re estimating a retail price of around Php27k but it should be lower than that by the time it reaches the Philippines.
