Official: T-Mobile Announces the Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Samsung and T-Mobile have gone ahead and made their first 4G Android handset official, and, no, it won’t be called the Vibrant 4G or even Vibrant Plus. While there is still room for that to change, considering the attached press release doesn’t offer too many details and a release is still a few weeks out, for now the Samsung Galaxy S 4G is the phone that will look a lot like a Vibrant with a front-facing camera, 4G radio, and Android 2.2 (not the 2.3 build seen in the above image).
The majority of the release panders to T-Mobile’s 4G network and offers little else in way of details on the Galaxy S 4G, but check it out for yourselves below.
