Samsung have added another candidate to their Galaxy line up of smartphones, with the announcement and release of the Galaxy S Advance. Galaxy S Advance sports a 1GHz dual-core CPU, 4-inch, 480x800 Super AMOLED display, up to 16GB of memory, as well as 768MB of RAM.

Galaxy S Advance also supports HSPA connections for speeds of up to 14.4Mbps, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facer, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and the usual bunch of Samsung apps available through Hubs and ChatON services.

Pricing is currently unknown, but we should see a rollout to begin in Russia next month, followed by Europe, Africa, Middle East, Southeast and Southwest Asia, Latin America, and China. Currently, the U.S. is left out of its release schedule.
