It is goodbye to 3G phones. The new era of 4G LTE phones is all set to establish its presence strongly in the smartphone market. Samsung is still not over with accepting the compliments for its newly launched Android heavyweight, the Samsung Galaxy S3, and the champion phone maker is once again in the eye of the storm with its upcoming LTE-enabled product offering, the Samsung SPH-L300 or "Gogh" as it is known for now.
The smartphone came into the spotlight, when images of the device along with some basic specifications were leaked on the Internet, thanks to the folks at BriefMobile.
Their report said is very obvious from the model number that it would land on Sprint in the U.S. However, the release date of the Samsung SPH-L300 is not yet known.
The image also revealed that SPH-L300 will feature a dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a WVGA display, a 5-megapixel camera, 4G LTE with apparently NFC functionality and Bluetooth 4.0 and a design that would be a substantial departure from Samsung's typical styling in a number of ways.
The design of the handset is reasonably interesting and entirely different from the other Samsung models released so far. The handset would measure in dimensions of about 12.19cm x 6.38cm x 1.204cm and it is estimated that the screen size would be around 4-inches with 800 x 400 pixels of resolution. Further, the look and feel of the handset would be very similar to HTC devices (probably Nexus One), with Android buttons and a plastic housing body with a faux-metal border.
Meanwhile, there are no details on the pricing of the handset so far; however industry insiders are suggesting that it is going to be a mid-range smartphone. Meanwhile, the Samsung SPH-L300 is said to launch with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
