Verizon's Infocenter reveals an illusion-the Samsung Illusion, to be precise
Share:
The specs expected for the Samsung Illusion are certainly nowhere what we see for the trio of high-end phones, starting with the 3.5 inch screen with resolution of 320 x 480. A single-core 1GHz Hummingbird processor is under the hood with 512MB of RAM aboard. There is 2GB of internal storage and the phone comes with a 2GB microSD card. A 3MP camera is on back and Android 2.3 is pre-installed.
While pricing hasn't been disclosed, a source tells Android Central that the phone should be launched sometime this month. And that, good friends, is not an illusion.

First. Wow, so they're pulling Android phones out the magic hat now? No wonder the market is becoming saturated left and right and why Android phones have a lower resale value than the iPhone.

It really depends on the handset. Phones like the Nexus S still have a very large resell value. Hell even the Nexus one has a better resell value than the iPhone 3GS

that's too low-end. it would've been nice if it was a candy bar version of the Captivate Glyde.

Exactly, apparently people don't get that. This is pretty much the poor mans smartphone.
It's similar to the Vortex but with better specs. The Vortex/ Gem/ Ally were all s**tty free or close to free phones.
There's a lot of people who still expect free phones with their upgrades or new acts. So this is what they get.

How many Galaxy-S-like phone does Verizon need? This is like their 5th all with very small differences. The only difference here is the smaller crappy screen.

They don't currently sell 5 Galaxy S-like phones. The Fascinate and Contiuum have been discontinued and are only available as refurbs and in agent stores that need to unload them. There is only the Stratosphere (an actual Galaxy S phone) the Droid Charge and this one. The Droid Charge is under the Droid Brand so really just this one and the Stratosphere, they passed on the GSII, remember?

I don\'t think it\'s 4G.
They need a better entry-level LTE phone than the Pantech Breakout.

Pretty soon the Bionic will be their entry-level LTE phone.
Seriously though, I don't expect any of the big 3 manufacturers to offer a new sub-$200 LTE phone on Verizon. They'll make more profit keeping older models like the Tbolt and Charge as their entry/midrange.

the Bionic will be high-end as long as the Razr, Nexus & Rezound will be. the Bionic is more powerful than the Rezound, the Nexus and the Razr are only a smidgen more powerful than the Bionic.
