After some high-end devices were pulled out of Verizon's hat-like the Motorola DROID RAZR, the HTC Rezound and the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, one of the next handsets expected to be introduced by Big Red is the low to mid-end Samsung Illusion. The device now shows up on Verizon's Infocenter and details some of the specs that sets this device apart from the trio of high-end devices coming out of Verizon, starting with the Motorola DROID RAZR on November 11th, continuing with the HTC Rezound on November 14th and the Samsung GALAXY Nexus November 21st (?).
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.
