Samsung and NVIDIA have just officially announced the Galaxy R, the latest handset in the Galaxy family. Sporting a 4.2 inch Super Clear LCD display, NVIDIA’s blazing fast Tegra 2 dual-core processor, and 5 megapixel camera, the Galaxy R is a slightly modified variant of the Galaxy S 2 that will likely ship with a lower price tag when it debuts Known as the Galaxy Z in Sweden, where it’s currently available now, the Galaxy R only slightly differs from the Galaxy S 2. While it’s basically impossible to call anything with the Tegra 2 CPU low-end, the Galaxy R is slightly thicker, swaps out the Super AMOLED Plus display for the Super Clear LCD, and a couple of other tweaks that keep the handset as powerful as possible, all while bringing the price down. Of course, we have no official pricing to speak of, so nothing is set in stone.
