T-Mobile has released two brand new 4G Android phones into the market: the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Amaze 4G.

Both phones are also very sexy and very powerful and look like they are set to be T-Mobile’s star 4G phones, at least for the immediate future.The Samsung Galaxy S II has a beautiful 4.52″ Super AMOLED screen with an 800×480 resolution. It packs a (very fast) dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S3 processor with 1 GB of RAM. It runs Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. The 4G offers a speed capacity of up to 42 Mbps. There’s an 8MP camera with flash, capable of taking 1080P HD video. There’s also a 2 MP front-facing camera, which is higher res than your run-of-the mill front-facing camera.
