Samsung Conquer 4G for Sprint is an Android smartphone expected to arrive July 24

Crazy to believe it, but once perceived to be in the high-end category, devices packing single-core 1GHz processors are slowly being regarded as mid-range devices – especially now that dual-core processors are increasingly becoming all the rage.

Well, that’s where the Samsung Conquer 4G for Sprint comes to mind, as a new leaked image surfaced today show us what it’ll look like, but more importantly, it’s being positioned as a mid-range offering with its 1GHz single-core processor. Although it’s looking pretty much like your straightforward slate handset, the Conquer 4G features some exciting hardware under the hood with its 320 x 480 display, landscape sliding keyboard, 3.1-megapixel rear camera, front-facing camera, 4G WiMAX support, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Obviously, there are a lot of people who might classify it as a high-end smartphone still, but considering that it’s expected to fall somewhere around $50 to $100 on-contract when it’s alleged to be released on July 24, it seemingly fits the mid-range category. Regardless, it’s nice to see that we’re starting to see more 4G devices catering to the mid-range market.
