Possible hardware details for the Samsung Galaxy S2 may have emerged from a detailed Korean posting. Believed to be nicknamed the Seine, the 4.3-inch phone would center on a still 1GHz but now dual-core processor known as the Orion. Noctunews’ data would also give 1GB of RAM, twice as much as before, and move up to an eight-megapixel camera that could record 1080p video.

The full-touch phone would be one of the few flagship Android 2.3 phones unveiled so far and, if correct, would have NFC much like on Samsung’s own Nexus S. At 800×480, the screen wouldn’t gain any resolution, but it would get clearer through the Super AMOLED Plus used in the Infuse 4G (pictured). A larger screen size would help slim down the device to under 9mm, or just over a third of an inch thick.

Such claims might clash with those of the Stealth V believed to represent the S2; it would have a 1.2GHz single-core chip instead. Most of the specs nonetheless align, and the at first contradictory 4.3- and 4.5-inch screen sizes mentioned in a specs sheet suggest that the Galaxy S2 and Infuse 4G are very closely related.

Samsung will show the Galaxy S replacement at an event just before Mobile World Congress on February 13.
