T-Mobile Galaxy S II processor outed by Galaxy S support Twitter account?
And there you have it. The T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S II will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 1.5GHz dual-core CPU instead of the Exynos processor the rest of the series has. People who go gaga over the benchmark numbers will be disappointed, as will people wanting that 42Mbps HSPA+ speed that was rumored for a while, as the product brief for the MSM8X60/APQ8060 lists its max speed at 14Mbps.
Who won't be disappointed? A whole bunch of folks who will be picking this one up when it launches that have no idea what's under the hood (and don't really care), and those that want the most out of their battery life. Android geeks will just have to second guess why the decision was made -- if it turns out to be true. We've seen Twitter fail us much too often to put all our faith into 140 characters.
