Samsung Intercept is one of the handsets that wireless carrier Sprint is expected to launch on the United States market with Google's Android operating system on board. Spotted on the web last week, the upcoming device has just emerged in a video preview, offering us the possibility to have a closer look at what this lower-end mobile phone would be able to offer Sprint's customers when launched officially.

According to the previous reports on the Samsung Intercept (SPH-M910), the wireless carrier would plan to launch it as the replacement for the Samsung Moment, which was launched at Sprint last year. Although nothing is official on intercept for the time being, rumor has it that Sprint would plan making it available for purchase come July 11, roughly a week from now. It might not be the high-end Galaxy S, but it still comes with appealing features, capable of making a wide range of users happy.

Among the rumored specifications of Samsung Intercept, we can count a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, a side sliding four-row QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, built-in GPS receiver, 3G connectivity capabilities, support for social networking sites, and other capabilities more. All in all, the upcoming handset is expected to prove a nice option for Sprint users interested in a device that can keep them connected with friends or family at all times.

As stated above, the Android-based mobile phone should become available at Sprint whitin a week. Those interested in learning a few more details on this device should take a look at the video preview embedded below, which emerged on YouTube on Sunday (via Android Central). The video was posted by a user claiming that the unit was sold by Best Buy Mobile on July 3, although the device wasn't announced officially.
