well, this came as a bit of a surprise. last week the reigning Korean electronics juggernaut, Samsung has announced a ‘rejuvenated’ version of their former flagship Android handset (i.e. the S II), aptly dubbed as the Samsung GALAXY S II Plus. it is indeed odd to receive this piece of ‘news’, especially amidst the…
