context_page_description: The Samsung Galaxy S II is a touchscreen-enabled, slate-format Android smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Samsung Electronics, as the second smartphone of the Samsung Galaxy S series. It has additional software features, expanded hardware, and a redesigned physique compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S. The S II was launched with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread", with updates to Android 4.1.2 "Jelly Bean".
  Samsung unveiled the S II on 13 February 2011 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It was one of the slimmest smartphones of the time, mostly 8.49 mm thick, except for two small bulges which take the maximum thickness of the phone to 9.91 mm.
  The Galaxy S II has a 1.2 GHz dual-core "Exynos" system on a chip processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 10.8 cm WVGA Super AMOLED Plus screen display and an 8-megapixel camera with flash and 1080p full high definition video recording. It is one of the first devices to offer a Mobile High-definition Link, which allows up to 1080p uncompressed video output to an MHL enabled TV or to an MHL to HDMI adapter, while charging the device at the same time. USB On-The-Go is supported.
context_section_description: The Sprint variant (Model SPH-D710) of the Galaxy S II was initially released as the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch and was later renamed to the simpler Galaxy S II 4G. Prior to its release, Sprint's variant was codenamed "Within" by Samsung. The SPH-D710 first became available for Sprint customers on 16 September 2011, making Sprint the first carrier in the United States to offer a variant of the S II. The SPH-D710 is available to Sprint customers in black, titanium grey or white.
  The Sprint variant has key differences from the "International" version of the Galaxy S II. The Sprint variant includes a 2500 MHz WiMax radio. The display of the Sprint variant, at 4.52 inches, is larger than that of the international version. The Sprint variant features four touch-capacitive buttons as opposed to the three-button hardware/capacitive combination found on the international version. Other differences include an LED notification light and a larger, 6.66 Wh battery.
  The Sprint variant does not come equipped with NFC capability, unlike the variants offered by T-Mobile US and AT&T Mobility.
  The Galaxy S II 4G is a touchscreen-only device, unlike the Epic 4G, which includes a physical QWERTY keyboard.
  On 28 March 2013, the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (GB27) update was released through the Samsung Kies software As of February 2014, there are no additional confirmed updates for this device.
  The device has received 7 updates from Samsung since its original release on 16 September 2011.
  Sprint has announced that on 6 November 2015 the Sprint WiMAX network will be decommissioned effectively removing 4G capabilities on the SPH-D710 model. Users will still have access to data service using the 3G network.
