Samsung already has one end of the Ice Cream Sandwich spectrum covered with the high-end Samsung Galaxy S III. Now, it appears that the Korean manufacturer has the other end covered with the Samsung GT-B5330. This is a low end model that according to GLBenchmarks will have Android 4.0.4 installed out of the box. The benchmark site also reveals that the phone will have a processor clocked at 850MHz under the hood.

Other specs were revealed from the Chinese certification process including a QVGA resolution screen of unknown size, 3G connectivity, and a BlackBerry-esque physical portrait QWERTY keyboard. We can't say for sure what countries the GT-B5330 will be offered in, and therefore we can't give you any pricing or launch details at the moment.
