As for the Galaxy S II HD LTE, it is the first Samsung handset to bring to the market an HD display. The phone sports a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, capable of delivering a resolution of 1280×720 pixels.

The phone's specs list also shows support for LTE and HSPA+ and Rev. A connectivity capabilities, and features that are similar with those included with the Galaxy S II LTE.
