Today Samsung introduced the Galaxy R, their first smartphone to utilize NVIDIA's Tegra 2 mobile processor and come equipped with a dedicated GeForce GPU, which they promise will deliver console-quality gaming. The Galaxy R is designed to provide added performance for fast and efficient web browsing, Adobe Flash media playback, HD movie support, and Tegra 2 optimized games. In terms of specs, the Galaxy R sports a 4.19-inch WVGA Super Clean LCD touchscreen display, 720p HD video recording and 1080p HD video playback, and 8GBs of internal storage expandable to 32GBs via MicroSD.

The Galaxy R will run on Google's Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread) mobile OS, and come pre-installed with Tegra Zone, a specialized app store for accessing Tegra 2-optimized games and apps.

The Galaxy R is available now in Sweden, but will be released in other regions soon. No pricing or specific release date information has been provided.
