It is all but confirmed by Samsung that a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II featuring an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor instead of the in-house Exynos chip will exist under the model number I9103, but new rumors are suggesting the CPU switch won’t be the only difference between the two versions. What we may see is the I9103 also swapping a Super AMOLED Plus display for a Super Clear LCD display.
While this news exists only as rumor for now, we can think of a few reasons for Samsung to develop this secondary version of the Galaxy S II. The most obvious is possible production delays in the actual AMOLED and CPU components, leaving Samsung with no choice but to stock up on alternative components. There is also a chance the I9103 model will be offered as a lower-priced alternative in some areas.

They simply cannot make enough AMOLED screens yet. They are building a multi Billon dollar plant but it won’t be up and running till sometime in 2012
Its probably there low end for metro pcs and boost mobile maybe.
I really hope this is not true. And @ReadDanielQuinn, that is not an optical track pad. The original Galaxy S had that to. It’s just a home button. They should of been ready if they were going to introduce the Orion an plus screens.
Damn Im not sure if the earthquake did this. Samsung should delay or wait until they get everything straighten up. I will not buy it if it comes with lcd shit. Two version is fucking gay. This better be a rumor!! So will the infuse get lcd too? Lol.
Sprint better get their sheez together and come out with S2 soon. Not really looking forward to Evo 3D or shooter or whatever but at the same time anything new high end from Srpint is acceprable at this point.
Actually, speaking as a Galaxy S owner, I prefer an LCD rather than an AMOLED that will be prone to burn-in. It pretty much precludes the use of the phone as a bedside clock, but that’s just me.
SuperAMOLED is the only reason I’m looking forward to the Galaxy S2 so I hope T-Mobile doesn’t go this route.
@MMS super amoleds are manufactured in korea
It is what it is they will do what they have to either way they have a great product for everyone to enjoy.
good point…
Earthquake in Japan anyone?
They may be forced to use other more widely available components…
Thought Super Amoled was one of Samsung’s biggest selling points…
high end phone just got downgraded to iphone 4 level…..
Is that an optical mouse I see?
I LOVE the optical mouse on my old Samsung Saga
I don't won't a watereddown version of the awesomness that got me excited to get this phone in the first place. If I'm gonna throw down some bucks it better have EVERYTHING that sold me on it in the beginning, and it better be 4G and come to Tmobile too.
It would be nice if it had a touch-button-mouse that moved a curser on the screen for internet use. It's annoying using my finger to select things sometimes, like when correcting a misspelled word in search box etc.
big mistake from Samsung if they do 2 version of the phone…will only buy the one with amoled plus!
