[Leak] Samsung Stratosphere press shots revealed

We heard about the Samsung Stratosphere 4G (SCH-i405) for Verizon Wireless about a month ago. and we knew it had to be the leaked Samsung QWERTY slider that we saw in June. What else could it be since Verizon decided to pass on the Galaxy S II?

If you were looking for something more concrete, than take a look at the above pictures which confirm the Stratosphere 4G will indeed be a variation of the Sprint Epic 4G. Specs are not confirmed, but as we earlier reported, it is expected to sport a Super AMOLED Plus screen, 5MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera, and Android 2.3.4.

If you are a fan of QWERTY sliders, this is a better alternative to the DROID 3 since it supports 4G LTE. It might actually be an affordable LTE device as I am expecting it to come in at $199 with a 2-year contract. We will let you know more as we hear it. Is anyone excited for an affordable LTE phone?

    Awesome, I really need something to replace my iPhone 3Gs cause, it really needs to be retired

    FYI,

    The original article has the 5mp camera on the rear, not the front as in this article.

    Just thought you would like to know that.

      Curt, thanks for pointing that out. Nobody has a 5MP front camera yet – LOL

    Dear God please tell me this isn’t the reason VZW passed up the Galaxy S II! I swear of it is I’m leaving VZW. This is insulting to think VZW customers would want this over the Galaxy S II.

    I would not get this phone or the Galaxy SII…… the SII is an iPhone wannabe with Android running the show.

    I am either going to get the Bionic or wait for something later in the year.
