We’ve seen plenty of new budget-friendly mid-rangers launched by Samsung these past couple of months, but one more can’t hurt, right? Especially when it comes to Sprint, a carrier that seemed to miss out on Sammy phones oriented towards people that can’t afford the Galaxy S3.
The Galaxy Victory 4G LTE is the name of the new Samsung Sprint-bound phone, and, after being leaked with an almost full spec sheet a couple of weeks ago, it has now been confirmed as coming on September 16.
That’s right, we’re only two days away from the handheld’s launch, and, although some of you may have tuned out from this post after hearing the word “budget”, you should know that the Victory is no pushover.
Set to only cost $99.99 with a two-year carrier agreement (after a $50 mail-in rebate), the phone will come packing a pretty snappy 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. Those were high-end specs about six months back, and they still should satisfy the gaming and multimedia needs of average folks.
The CPU hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but, based on earlier rumors, we’re ready to bet it’ll be a member of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 family that powers most super-phones out there, including the American versions of the Galaxy S3 and HTC One X.
Other confirmed features include a 4-inch WVGA display with 800 x 480 pixels resolution, dual 5 MP/1.3 MP cameras, NFC support and 4 GB of on-board memory. The microSD support is yet to be confirmed for some reason, but we would be very surprised (not to mention disappointed) to see the phone lacking the feature.
In terms of software, the Victory looks like a winner, even though there’s no word on a possible Jelly Bean upgrade happening soon. Instead, you get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz UI, as well as S Beam, S Voice, AllShare Play, AllShare Group Cast and Google Wallet.
As you probably guessed from its (too long) name, the Victory 4G LTE will also come with Sprint LTE speeds, which might not sound that special at first. The timing of the phone’s release however is pretty sweet, considering that Sprint just announced the expansion of its high-speed network in 100 new cities over the following months.
It has become customary to leave out some details at the unveiling of a new phone, and the Victory 4G LTE is unfortunately not an exception. Both Sammy and Sprint have “forgot” to mention the battery capacity and the phone’s dimensions and weight, so we will refrain for now from calling this more than a promising device. We aren’t very worried that the Victory might be bulky (it looks pretty good in the existing official pics), but the battery is one detail that could make or break the phone.
Who’s thinking of getting the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE come this Sunday?
