The sequel to the original Samsung Epic 4G was rumored to be seen on Sprint‘s network way back in quarter three of last year. However there hasn't been much in terms of news regarding this device since then. Heck, the phone hasn't even seen a release since it was first announced. Well it appears that we may actually see a release after all, as the device (SPH-D705) has made a showing in the Cellebrite system (see below). Usually this means that the release is imminent in the near future.

While it's nice to see the possible release, as you can see near the Epic 4G Touch, at this point the phone's specs aren't really that impressive; at least in today's multi-core age. It comes with a 4-inch qHD display with 1.2GHz single-core Hummingbird processor, and an 8MP camera. Who knows, maybe they've beefed up the phone since its first showing with some upgraded specs. We will have to wait and see.

So while being in the Cellebrite system doesn't guarantee that we will see the phone released it sure is a sign that the phone is moving forward. Why would Samsung add support for a phone that wouldn't be released? Again, only time will tell so keep it locked here as we bring you more information regarding this device.
