Samsung Electronics has announced the launch of two new LTE capable smartphones for the South Korean market.

The Galaxy S II LTE is Samsung Electronics' first LTE smartphone launched in Korean market. The portability has been enhanced with a slim design (9.5mm), while offering smartphone performance, including Android 2.3, 4.5-inch WVGA (800×480) SuperAMOLED Plus, and 1.5GHz dual core AP.

Multimedia functions have also been improved including the 8 megapixel camera, 1080p-level full HD video, and TV-OUT function based on the MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) adapter.

The other handset is the world's first LTE smartphone with the HD Super AMOLED - the Galaxy S II HD LTE.

With HD (1280X720) resolution, the HD Super AMOLED is the first AMOLED display to feature 316 pixels per inch (ppi), higher than the standard 300ppi, resulting in substantial improvements in screen sharpness and readability.

The phone supports multiple modes including LTE, HSPA+ (for SKT and KT) and Rev.A (for LGU+), and WCDMA/GSM (roaming).

Substantial improvements were made to the design as well. The narrow bezel technology was employed for the front to make the frame of the 4.65-inch AMOLED display as thin as possible. Emphasis was thus placed on a slim, refined design.
