Wireless carrier Sprint is gearing up for the release of Samsung Galaxy Nexus, although the company did not unveil an official release date for it as of now.

However, some of the latest reports on the matter suggest that the wireless carrier might add the new Android smartphone to its offering as soon as April 22nd.

No official confirmation on the matter has emerged until now, but leaked training documents that appeared online seem to suggest the same.

Galaxy Nexus will be one of the first LTE-capable smartphones on shelves at Sprint, and the wireless carrier is already training employees on it.

Said leaked document shows not only that the carrier is preparing the release of this mobile phone, but also unveils some of the hardware specifications the device will arrive with.

Galaxy Nexus was launched in the fourth quarter of last year with the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform on board. It was touted as the most advanced Android handset at that time.

Coming from Samsung, the mobile phone includes a 4.65-inch HD touchscreen display, along with a 1.2GHz application processor, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory.

The mobile phone also comes with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording capabilities, and with a 1.3MP camera on the front for video calling.

Moreover, it packs support for Sprint’s LTE and CDMA networks, along with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, USB, GPS receiver, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Sprint’s Galaxy Nexus will be powered by a 1850mAh Li-ion battery capable of delivering up to 7.5 hours of usage time or up to 78.6 hours of talk time. The smartphone will also include NFC capabilities.

Said leaked training slides that emerged over at Droid-life appear to be legit. However, they do not unveil specific info on the phone’s availability and pricing, so stay tuned for more on this.
