Samsung prepping 4G smartphone

Posted 4th August 2010 at 1:26pm by Jonathan Leggett

Samsung is set to release its debut 4G smartphone in partnership with US network provider Sprint, speculation suggests.

Specifications for the high-end mobile are thin on the ground, but it is believed to have Android 2.2 on board, along with a 1GHz processor, a five megapixel camera and a four-inch super AMOLED display.

Also likely to feature is support for microSD memory cards and the latest Wi-Fi networking.

The style of the Epic 4G is not expected to diverge enormously from the thin, black smartphones that have become a Samsung trademark recently.

Samsung is also believed to be planning a cut down version of the Epic 4G, presumably minus its WiMAX connectivity in the UK, as the Galaxy S Pro, according to Androidpolice.

The Samsung Epic 4G is the second Wimax enabled next-generation smartphone after the HTC Evo 4G.

I am biting my nails to stubs waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S Pro to come to the UK. I am having a hard time not buying the Samsung Galaxy S while I am waiting too.
