T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II will have a Qualcomm 1.5Ghz dual-core processor according to @GalaxySsupport

Back in August, at the U.S. Samsung Galaxy S II event, we wondered why T-Mobile wouldn’t let us touch their version. Even the press release gave little information. We had an idea that a Qualcomm processor would replace the Exynos because of better compatibility with 42Mbps HSPA+, but they never mentioned any specs.

Samsung @GalaxySsupport might have just outed a little secret. It appears that not only will the T-Mobile variant have a Qualcomm processor, it will be a 1.5GHz dual-core APQ8060 processor. This information was tweeted over 5 hours ago, and Samsung hasn’t retracted it. This is a good sign.

Would love to hear from T-Mobile users. Are you excited yet?

    Now going into this knowing how fast the processor is great. I’m wondering what the GPU is? And how much difference performance is compared to the other carriers versions. But sounds on par with the amaze. I hesitently will go.with Sammie even though they have a lousy history. This seems better built than the vibrant!

    Oh well….I can scratch this phone off my list. The Exynos chips will run circles around Qualcomm’s.
