Samsung Galaxy S Plus (i9001) Gets Official With 1.4GHz CPU and "Gingerbread"

Yet another variant of the Samsung Galaxy S is initially headed to Russia in late April. This one is the Galaxy S Plus (i9001) which reportedly features a 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA display, 8GB of internal storage, Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" with the Touchwiz UI, a 1,650mAh battery, and a new speedy 1.4GHz CPU. That's a pretty good upgrade, but the rest of the spec sheet stays the same.

This new smartphone will be hitting Russia for 23,990 rubies ($844 USD) which is actually a bit expensive. There's no word if it'll be hitting other places right now so we'll have to wait for that.
