The images you see above were found on Samsung Mobile Singapore's Facebook page. They are taken from prototype devices designed to give users just a general look and feel of the device but the specifications seen here may not be the final and could change before the launch of the device.
From the two screenshots, we think it's safe to assume the I9101 is running on the TI OMAP4430 chipset that is based around a 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and PowerVR SGX 540 GPU (same GPU as in the original Galaxy S). So far it's the only publicly announced dual-core chipset to feature that graphics chip. But for all we know, it could be an offshoot of Samsung custom Exynos builds.
The I9101 also has 1GB of RAM, same as the regular Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II, however, runs on a custom-built Orion chipset with 1.2GHz dual-core CPU and Mali-400MP GPU.
We wouldn't be surprised if the I9101 is running on Samsung's Super Clear LCD instead of the Super AMOLED Plus. Also, since the hardware is weaker, you can also say good-bye to 1080p video recording and playback. We expect even the still camera to be downgraded to 5 megapixel from the 8 megapixel found on the I9100.
This device, along with the I9103 that we found a few months back, would be aimed at different markets as cheaper alternatives to the I9100, just like the I9003 served as a cheaper alternative to the I9000. Also, with these phones, Samsung might just be looking to replace the I9000/I9003 in the market

Samsung's Galaxy S II, as we know it, is powered by an Exynos processor and has the model number GT-I9100. For a while now, we've been aware that Samsung is planning other revision of the Android smartphone with differing CPUs; model GT-I9103 is supposed to run NVIDIA's Tegra 2 platform, instead. Now it seems that there could be even more versions of the phone in store for us, with new evidence emerging in support of a GT-I9101 model.
Samsung Mobile Singapore posted some specs from the I9101 on its Facebook page, and while they don't out and say just what chipset the smartphone is running, there are plenty of hints. The GPU, for example, is a PowerVR SGX540, and we know the main CPU runs the ARM v7 instruction set. One contender for the SoC that fits the bill: Texas Instruments's OMAP4430, the same chip behind the LG Optimus 3D. There could be other differences between the I9101 and the I9100; we don't know anything about the former's screen type, nor its NFC capabilities. What we're really interested in seeing, is how all these different Galaxy S II models hold up to each other performance-wise, but we could still have a bit of a wait on our hands, and we don't even know what Samsung's plans are for bringing the I9100 to market.
