It?s a Galaxy S facelift with just enough of a speed boost to make it 2011 ready. It has a 1.4 GHz Snapdragon processor and the latest version of Android: 2.3.3 Gingerbread. The Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus is heading to Russia under the name of Galaxy S 2011 Edition but will probably reach other markets too.

It makes sense to play this card once again, with probably enough people willing to go for a flagship without busting the piggy bank. And the Galaxy S Plus is a flagship through and through, make no mistake. It?s just not this year?s flagship.
This one met a couple of dual core predators and lived to tell the story. It may?ve been a near death experience alright but the Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus has nothing to be ashamed of.

An overclocked single-core chipset doesn?t hold a candle to dual core CPUs but the Galaxy S Plus will be held to a different standard. It was out of its depth in our latest shootout but ? as far as we?re concerned ? it did well where it matters.
By the way, we should note that we have on our hands a pre-release unit clocked at 1.2 GHz ? the market-ready units will have 1.4 GHz clock rates enabled. Even at the lower speed though, the new Galaxy S Plus outperformed the year-old original in most tasks we tested. The speed boost is there ? now, let?s see how much of an upgrade we can expect elsewhere.
