We already know all there is to know about the currently available version of the Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone. We really like the device and we reviewed the S II back in April here on SlashGear. Some pics of a Galaxy S II smartphone with a new model number have now surfaced online leading us to wonder exactly what is different about the Galaxy S II I9101 in the photos here. Other than the model number of the phone, we know little about this new version.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4G in 2011; Galaxy S III in 1H 2012

Shin told Dow Jones Newswires that not only was Samsung planning a 4G tablet for later in 2012, "an evolution of and an enhanced version of" the Galaxy Tab slates we've seen so far, but a replacement for the Galaxy S II in the first half of 2012.

Sensation vs. Galaxy S II: Does qHD make a difference?
One of the lingering questions after our HTC Sensation review earlier this week was just how much of a difference the smartphone’s qHD 960 x 540 resolution display makes over the regular crop of WVGA 800x 480 phones. More pressingly, does Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus panel on the Galaxy S II, with its surfeit of sub-pixels, hold a candle to the Sensation. There’s only one way to find out: some uber-high-resolution photos in a GSII/Sensation shoot out!
Apple wins early access to Samsung phones/tablets in copycat case
Samsung must hand over samples from its current and incoming smartphone and tablet range, along with marketing materials, to Apple’s legal team as part of an “expedited discovery” process to see whether allegations of design similarity are accurate. That’s the ruling of San Jose Federal Judge Lucy Koh, Courthouse News reports, who brought forward access to the Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Infuse 4G and DROID Charge after Apple “produced images of Samsung products and other evidence that provide a reasonable basis for Apple’s belief that Samsung’s new products are designed to mimic Apple’s products.”
HTC Sensation Review
Once, Android’s primary challenge was the iPhone: proving that Google’s open-source platform – and the devices that ran it – were good enough to share retail space with Apple’s groundbreaking smartphone. Now, with dominant market-share and increasingly polished handsets, the battle is between ‘droids. Into the fray drops the HTC Sensation, the company’s new dual-core flagship. It’s certainly the best-spec’d HTC to date, but is it enough to beat Samsung’s all-conquering Galaxy S II? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

May 24th Samsung Mobile Event Postponed
Back at the beginning of May, we had gotten an invitation to a Samsung Mobile event in New York on May 24th.
