Leak reveals Samsung's first Android slider for Verizon
Share:
The SCH-i405 model number puts the handset right after the Samsung Continuum which means that the specs, when released, probably won't blow your mind. The phone did receive Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certification but has yet to meet the august members of the FCC. That gives us about 6-8 weeks before a possible launch on Verizon. Of course, most of the carrier's customers have their heart and mind set on a different Samsung model, the Galaxy S II, so don't be too surprised if no one is jumping up and down about this leak.

Or maybe this is Verizon's version of the GS2, but just with a look of the Epic. If it isn't, then it would be Verizons version of the Epic but will have LTE instead of WiMax.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the carriers released the SGS2 very much unchanged from the GSM unlocked version.

ohey! you're a sharp guy Rory! o:
that's what i'm thinking. i wouldn't have it any other way, the Galaxy S II's design is one of it's selling points with me.

Other then the middle home button the phone is pretty much flawless and even if they kept it I wouldn't complain. Its razor thin, has a nice back cover. Its super amoled plus with a large screen. Its the fastest smoothest device I have ever seen. Nothing comes close.

yeah, i'm totally with you about the home button, just give me some well lit capacitive buttons with good haptic feedback and i'll be completely happy with it.
btw i used a Galaxy Tab 10.1 today, doesn't feel nearly as bad as i thought it would being made out of plastic as opposed to the XOOM (which was right next to it so of course a proper comparison was made) and in fact i can't believe i'm saying this but the Samsung felt better in more important ways than the Motorola. o:

I notice the icons dont have the blocky look. Touchwiz 4.0??

Yea that pretty much means touchwiz 4.0
I don't mind the phones being made of plastic as long as the back cover has a nice texture to it and doesn't show off fingerprints like crazy. Samsung uses the Gglass on their touch screens so thats the main thing I always worry about breaking.

I actually prefer a phone made out of good plastics. They are alot more durable.My og Droid is scratched up and being how its made of metal thje paint has rubbed off.

I can already tell this device is not going to be LTE. Look how thin it is, it's probably the same thinness as the Epic. As we all know, LTE phones are bricks. Look at the Thunderbolt, Revolution, and even the Droid Charge is pretty thick.
I'm guessing it will be a 1.2ghz 2nd generation hummerbird processor(same one found on the samsung infuse) with 2.3 ginderbread touchwiz 4.0
Still not a bad device, hopefully that means it gets a decent price.

i think Samsung is a little more ergonomic with their phones than most manufacturers, the Epic stayed pretty thin for a slider WiMAX phone and the Droid Charge IS the thinnest LTE phone on Verizon, i think they could pull off getting an LTE radio in that.
