Verizon will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S II variant called the ‘Verizon Function' on August 12th according to Shin Jong-Kyun, president of the company's mobile communications business. It'll start landing in Las Vegas locations, then others immediately afterwards. Other Galaxy S II variants called the ‘Attain' and ‘Within' are also expected to launch in August with other US carriers, but Verizon looks to be the first.

Analyst Paul Mueller says, “August 12 is a possibility. It will arrive first on Verizon and then the rest of the carriers within a month. Samsung will market this directly against the iPhone 5”. The Samsung Galaxy S II is Samsung's fastest selling device to date, already selling over 6 million units shipped in 3 months since its release.
