Wireless carrier T-Mobile has made available for download a new Android-based smartphone from Samsung, namely the Galaxy S Relay 4G.

The smartphone was made available for purchase for $149.99 with the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Galaxy S Relay 4G arrives on shelves with a Super AMOLED touchscreen display that can deliver a 720p resolution, as well as with a sliding QWERTY keyboard for additional input options.

“The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G, the fastest QWERTY smartphone running on T-Mobile's fast 4G network, bringing you seamless on the go office integration,” the operator notes.

“The built-in familiar layout lets you type messages easily without searching for the letter you want,” the company continues.

The new Android phone is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Processor and features a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for HD video recording.

The new handset comes with support for the wireless carrier’s HSPA+ 42Mbps networks, as well as with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi calling, GPS receiver, and the like.

Moreover, Galaxy S Relay 4G was packed with NFC capabilities to enable fast sharing of content, and also enables users to expand the available internal memory via a MicroSD memory card.

Samsung has loaded Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on top of this smartphone, so that users can take advantage of a nice range of features and applications that the platform supports.

“Android 4.0 builds on the things people love most about Android — easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and deep interactivity — and adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing,” the carrier notes.
