This is AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S II. And yes, it has a QWERTY keyboard

Just as I assumed yesterday, that leaked Samsung QWERTY Android handset turned out to be AT&T’s version of the Galaxy S II. The handset – model number SGH-i927 – has just appeared in a set of hands-on photos, which confirm some f its features.

The new smartphone obviously runs Android Gingerbread (2.3.4). It has an 8MP camera with LED flash on the back and, of course, a sliding keyboard with those Android buttons on the sides.

Earlier this month, a Samsung exec said that the Galaxy S II would become available in the US starting August, so that’s when AT&T will probably launch its i927, too.

Until then, feast your eyes on the photos below (published by BGR):

I guess some AT&T customers will be disappointed by the fact that AT&T’s new Galaxy is a slider. However, it kind of makes sense for the carrier to introduce a QWERTY S II, since it doesn’t have any high-end QWERTY smartphone in its line-up at the moment. It remains to be seen if AT&T will name the handset Samsung Attain or not.

    Too bad it doesn’t have a dedicated number row at the top, though.

    How sure are we about this story? Some think its the Epic 2 or a version of the Epic coming to AT&T. There was a supposed leak of the Attain back in June (feels like a million years ago) on Facebook and it didn’t look any Qwerty slider.
