Samsung Stealth 4G to hit Verizon April 14

By Jeffrey Van Camp Published March 10, 2011

Leaked pictures and anonymous tipsters, how ye make the world go round. The folks at TechnoBuffalo have caught a glimpse of the Samsung 4G LTE phone Verizon showed off at CES this year. It has been renamed the Samsung Stealth and is now targeted for an April 14th launch. More importantly, we’ve got its tech specs listed below. Many of these specs were revealed at CES, but a few are new.

Samsung Stealth specs

Android 2.2 Froyo, upgradeable
4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen (480×800)
1 GHz Hummingbird processor
802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
Mobile hotspot up to 8 devices
8MP rear camera, LED flash, auto-focus
1.3MP front camera
828 MBs internal storage
microSD memory card slot expandable up to 32GBs
Assisted GPS
HDMI port, 720p HD
1500 mAh lithium ion battery (standard size)

Not bad specs, but there is nothing impressive about them either, aside from Samsung’s Super AMOLED screen, which is gorgeous. Interestingly, many of Verizon’s next generation 4G phones have single-core processors, while many 3G phones are moving to dual-core. Perhaps 4G integration is costing manufacturers or there is a problem with dual-core devices and Verizon’s LTE network. We know that Motorola’s Xoom, a dual-core device, is supposed to have 4G LTE, but won’t get it for some months. Owners will have to send in their Xoom to have 4G added.

The report also corroborates that the Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on January 22, something that has been consistently stated across a wide variety of sources.

We are approaching the next Unpacked event, and as usual, all the smartphone surprises that Samsung harbored have been spoiled by leaks. Granted, it’s a bit shaky to put all your faith in leaks. But what about some unceremonious web upload from one of the world’s top accessories brands?

Well, that just transpired on Dbrand’s website. The notoriously outspoken company has listed dozens of renders depicting the Galaxy S25 series smartphones, draped in a variety of skins available for enthusiasts.

5 things Samsung needs to do to beat Apple in 2025

As we reach the end of the year, and with no more announcements planned until 2025, it’s time to revisit the two biggest phone players in the U.S. and compare and contrast the past 12 months for each.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra proved to be a blessing and a curse for Samsung, and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 reaffirmed that this was the case. Samsung’s phones are fantastic, but struggle to stand out among the competition. Each competitor is targeting different Galaxy features to best, and so far, Samsung hasn’t pivoted course.
