Verizon’s Samsung Stealth gets pictured; April release date rumored

mobile

Formerly known as the SCH-i520, the Samsung Stealth made a brief appearance at the Consumer Electronics show back in January. Announced along with ten other LTE devices by Verizon Wireless, the Stealth was forced to play second fiddle to the ThunderBolt, BIONIC, and XOOM. But today, we get to pay a little homage to the forgotten, 4G handset, thanks to several images of the device frolicking in the wild acquired by blog TechnoBuffalo. If you recall correctly, the device boasts a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p video recording, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, LTE/CDMA radios, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth, aGPS, HDMI-out, and Android 2.2. TB‘s tipster notes that the battery on the device seemed to perform quite well, yielding a full day of use with LTE enabled, and that the device should hit store shelves in mid-April. Pick your poison: ThunderBolt or Stealth. Hit the jump to check out some additional images of the Samsung handset.

    That’s a sexy looking phone.

    BGR, I just want to say that I really appreciate the fact that your RSS feed is configured such that I can read the entirety of your posts within Google Reader without having to click though, unlike those asses at Engadget that make you click through to read beyond the first paragraph.

    After the TBolt debacle with all these “rumored” dates, shame on you BGR for once again espousing more unfounded “rumors” in order to generate page hits. Source your effing rumor with the Verizon or Samsung employee. This is irresponsible “reporting” that only serves to piss consumers off once it propagates and doesn’t materialize.

    I played with one today at work. It was kinda cool. Definitely better than the Fascinate! Won’t get one tho, since I don’t trust Samsung with software updates

  • Jdkzombie

    shit yeah. i’ll get one. Samsung may be behind the game (miles mind you) on updates, but with the guys at XDA, shit this thing will be rooted an on the fast track to badass’ness in a heartbeat. besides, i love my fascinate, i have had 2.2 on it for a good month now i think, and it still continues to stomp the crap out of my roommates droid. as for the whiney people that are stuck on 2.1 with the fascinate, if you guys would exert the minimal effort on google to find out how to upgrade your OS yourself….see where im going with this?
