Samsung unveils the dual-core I9070 Galaxy S Advance

Yesterday it was reported that a few images and specifications had surfaced of an upcoming Samsung handset named the I9070 Galaxy S Advance. However, there were very few details to go by and the announcement of the upcoming Galaxy S handset was expected to take place during the Mobile World Conference event in Barcelona. Samsung has done one better, and officially announced the upcoming smartphone ahead of the projected date. As expected most of the features remain the same, thus confirming the specification and image rumours that popped up yesterday.
