14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless is expected to add to its offering in the near future a new Samsung handset running under Google's Android operating system, one that would sport a sliding form factor.
Apparently, this device would also sport support for the carrier's 4G LTE network, while running under the Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread operating system.
The handset might include a series of specs and capabilities that would bring it close to the company's current flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S II, though it might not be included in this family of devices.
In a way, the phone reminds us of the Samsung Epic 4G, the WiMAX-enabled Galaxy S handset that Samsung launched last year on Sprint's network in the United States.
However, the new mobile phone is clearly different when compared to last year's Android device, and also differs from the Galaxy S II smartphone currently available on shelves in various markets in Europe and Asia.
The handset is supposedly packing a Super AMOLED Plus screen, which is said to be awesome, though no specific info on its dimensions or resolution has emerged so far.
On the back, the new device would sport a five-megapixel photo snapper, which should offer video recording capabilities, most probably in high-definition, complemented by a 1.3MP camera on the front, to enable video calling.
Along with the upcoming DROID Bionic from Motorola, this Samsung handset would be one of the many other LTE-capable smartphones that Verizon has in store for its customers.
The wireless carrier already announced that there will be new 4G LTE-capable mobile phones on their way to its lineup, but has not offered specific info on them until now.
Until more on the matter emerges, you should have a look at the photos attached to this article, supposedly showing Verizon's upcoming LTE Samsung slider, available courtesy of Android Central.
