Spycam Catches Samsung Stealth In The Flesh

The Samsung Stealth may be stealthy, but it couldn’t avoid getting snapped up by some spycam photos. Pictures have emerged of the Samsung Stealth V – the phone that was introduced by Verizon and Samsung at CES as only the “Samsung 4G phone” or something to that effect, and we weren’t happy with the lack of the name. Now, it’s come out, and it looks okay.
Samsung Stealth Spycam Photos
The device had been caught going through the FCC approval process a few days ago, and now, it’s been seen in the wild. Here’s a list of the reported specs that are going along with the photos that ore friends at TechnoBuffalo received:
  • 4.3-inch OLED Screen
  • 1GHz Hummingbird Processor
  • Android 2.2 Froyo
  • 8MP back facing camera
  • 1.3MP (VGA) front facing camera
  • 828MB flash storage
And, and as mentioned, its one of the four 4G phones that Verizon introduced at CES as their LTE phones. What’s interesting here is that the phone has undergone some stylish changes from when I saw it at CES. At CES, it had a more generic “Galaxy S” look to it, while the Stealth shown here has more sleek lines that kinda remind me of an F-35 fighter jet.
Anyway, of all four of the first Verizon 4G phones (this, the HTC Thunderbolt, the LG Revolution and Motorola Droid Bionic), I think any Android fan has to rate this one last just because of the fact that it is coming with Samsung’s horrid TouchWiz UI. The LG Revolution is also coming with a similar UI (from what I saw at CES, LG seems to be licensing Samsung’s TouchWiz for their own phones – considering that LG and Samsung are blood rivals over there in South Korea, that’s really weird), so I would personally give the Thunderbolt and Droid Bionic my personal nod at this point.
Anyway, UI aside, does the Samsung Stealth do anything for you? Are you waiting for this phone? Tell us about it in the comments section. Mobile Phones.
