Samsung Galaxy R Style for South Korea packs ICS, LTE, big battery

Samsung announced a new Galaxy droid for the Korean market - the Samsung Galaxy R Style. It’s based on the Galaxy S II, packs a 4.3" SuperAMOLED screen and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz out of the box.

The phone measures 128 x 64.5 x 9.8mm, which allowed Samsung to cram a 2000mAh battery inside. The Galaxy R Style will probably put the extra juice to good use as it features 4G LTE connectivity. Depending on the carrier, the phone will either have GSM/3G/LTE or GSM/3G/CDMA 1x/LTE connectivity.

Other connectivity specs include Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and T-DMB. It's powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor (presumably a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chip) and packs a not-so-exciting 5MP camera. The built-in storage is 16GB.

The Galaxy R Style will be available on the three major South Korea carriers in white for 70 thousand won ($593, €489).
