14 DAY TRIAL // Unveiled back in January at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G has yet to make its debut on the market.
Confirmed by T-Mobile USA, the smartphone was recently showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2012, in Barcelona, Spain.
The good news is that the smartphone is now listed on T-Mobile USA’s online store with the “Coming Soon” tag attached. The carrier has yet to announce an exact release date for Galaxy S Blaze 4G, but this will probably never happen.
We already know that Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is expected to arrive in stores in March for $149.99 (115 EUR) after a $50 (38 EUR) mail-in rebate and a new two-year agreement.
The Galaxy S Blaze 4G is one of Samsung’s top tier Android phones, which is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5 GHz.
In addition, the smartphone packs an Adreno 220 graphics processing unit, 16GB (32GB) of internal memory, 1GB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
On the back, the phone sports a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and HD (720p) video recording, while in the front there’s a secondary 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls.
Although Samsung did not mention whether the Galaxy S Blaze 4G would be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board.
However, we had the chance to take the smartphone for a spin at the Mobile World Congress and we can confirm that the Galaxy S Blaze 4G will be delivered with Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread at launch.
Still, it’s likely that the smartphone will receive an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade by the end of the year. It is also worth mentioning the Galaxy S Blaze 4G comes with several useful apps and services, including Dropbox, Square, TripIt, LinkedIn, Evernote and Camscanner.
