Last month, a placeholder for something called the Samsung Stratosphere popped up on Verizon’s website, followed by a leaked photo showing an Android-based slider that was rumored to be Verizon’s version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Well, it’s not. According to the full specs posted at Droid-Life, it looks like a mid-range LTE-capable smartphone that should compare better with Sprint’s Epic 4G.
The term “mid-range” shouldn’t be confused with “budget,” though, because the spec sheet paints a picture of a solid phone. It runs on a single-core 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and Android 2.3.1, and packs a 5MP main camera, 1.3MP front camera and 4G LTE inside a sliding form factor that includes a full QWERTY keyboard and a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen.
No prices yet, but the Stratosphere has been tipped for an October 6 launch.
