Nvidia and Samsung have announced the Samsung Galaxy R, now available in Sweden but coming soon to more of Europe and Asia. It's a bit of a departure from what we're used to here in the states when we hear the words Samsung Galaxy, as the R packs Tegra 2 innards, a Super Clear LCD, and Gingerbread out of the gate. We don't yet have the full specs, but here's what has been announced:
- Tegra 2 CPU
- 4.19-inch WVGA Super Clear LCD touchscreen @ 800x480
- Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system
- 720p HD video capture and 1080p Full HD playback (Divx, WMV, MP4, H.264 B/P only)
- Built-in memory of 8GB and support for 32GB Micro SD
- Size: 125.7 x 66.7 x 9.55 mm
- Weight: 131 grams
Along with that Tegra 2 chip comes access to NVIDIA's experience in gaming, evident with any of the games from the Tegra Zone app. And while many folks love Samsung's AMOLED screens, there are a lot of people who prefer a nicely done LCD. Of course we have to wait until we get to play with a Galaxy R, but from the video above it looks like another winner. I can totally see hours of Galaxy on Fire 2 HD in quite a few futures. Check the video above, and the press release is after the break.
