According to source, the upcoming super phone is a Samsung GT-I9103. As noted, Samsung has announced its new smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2011, which known as the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II, which powered by a Samsung Exynos 4210 dual-core processor.
The Samsung GT-I9103 is the normal Exynos based Galaxy S II, the I9103 is the Tegra 2 edition. As one of our readers (thanks sarge78), Samsung lists its own dual-core Application Processor in the Galaxy S II as not being used in all regions. It’s too early to tell if that means that we’ll get Tegra 2 or Exynos depending on physical region.

Samsung’s Tegra 2 Superphone: The GT-I9103 – On Day 0 of this year’s Mobile Apple Congress Samsung and NVIDIA appear that the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 will appear to bazaar with NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 (T20) SoC. At the aforementioned time, the two agilely appear they would be alive on a new superphone calm aswell based on Tegra 2. At Samsung’s columnist appointment about all we saw was the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S II, the closing application Samsung’s own Exynos SoC.
So what happened to the NVIDIA based smartphone and why would Samsung bother with application Tegra if it already had an Exynos based smartphone? To accept why we charge to attending at the Galaxy S. At its MWC columnist appointment Samsung mentioned that it awash 10 actor Galaxy S phones in 2010. The Galaxy S II should advertise at atomic as much, if not more, already it’s clearly introduced.
On Day 0 of this year's Mobile World Congress Samsung and NVIDIA announced that the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 will come to market with NVIDIA's Tegra 2 (T20) SoC. At the same time, the two quietly announced they would be working on a new superphone together also based on Tegra 2. At Samsung's press conference however all we saw was the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S II, the latter using Samsung's own Exynos SoC.
Exynos however is a brand new SoC, with a brand new GPU for Samsung. Meeting demand for the Galaxy S II in all markets across the world with an SoC that Samsung has never shipped is risky at best. If you saw our benchmarks yesterday you'll note that NVIDIA's Tegra 2 is a near equivalent in terms of CPU performance and notably better in GPU and Flash performance. In other words, Tegra 2 isn't a bad alternative.

Samsung I9103 could be variant of them, like most Samsung smartphones such as Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is built on Samsung Hummingbird CPU, while the Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL is boast a TI OMAP 3630 processor.
I suspect Samsung didn't want to confuse users by announcing both a Tegra 2 and an Exynos based superphone at MWC. An unknown user managed to benchmark the GT-I903 at MWC and submitted the data to the GLBenchmark database. The Samsung GT-I9103's performance looks comparable to the Atrix 4G, meaning it's going to deliver the same experience we've seen in our Optimus 2X and Atrix 4G articles.
