Samsung Galaxy R becomes official

Originally referred to as the Galaxy Z, the Samsung Galaxy R has now been officially announced by the Korean company as the other twin-brother of the popularGalaxy S2.

A little thicker than the S2 due to its metallic construction, the Galaxy R sports a Tegra 2 processor and a slightly smaller camera sensor.

It’s been released in Europe this month so we should be seeing it slowly creeping into Philippine shores soon. As for the price, we expect the Galaxy R to be less expensive than the Galaxy S2.
