Dual-core Samsung Galaxy 2 confirmed

Mobile phone blogger Eldar Murtazin has a long history of getting his hands on devices well before anyone else, so when he tweets out some info, we tend to listen.

Today, he tweeted that he was playing with both the recently spotted Sony Ericsson Anzu, as well as a previously unknown dual-core Samsung Galaxy 2 GT-i9100

You have probably heard the rumours about the Nexus S  the Samsung-built follow up to the Nexus One and its delays.

Could the "hardware issue" causing the delay actually be the addition of a dual-core processor? Could the Galaxy S be to the Nexus S what the HTC Desire was to the Nexus One? That is, a skinned, branded version of Google "pure Android" device?
