South Korean carrier KT has just announced the upcoming availability of three LTE-enabled smartphones. Among them, KT mentioned a certain Samsung SHV-E170K handset, which we never heard before.

According to the folks over at SammyHub, the SHV-E170K is an Android top-tier smartphone that runs the latest Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

Although KT did not reveal the phone’s specs sheet, it appears that the handset is equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz.

In addition, the SHV-E170K boasts a larger 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution.

Samsung SHV-E170K comes with dual camera, 5-megapixel rear photo snapper and 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for video calls. Rumor has it that KT and Samsung plan to launch this smartphone later this month.
