AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G Announced – Specs, Release Date

by el_div on January 9, 2011


Samsung and AT&T have announced at CES 2011 a new Android smartphone that goes by the name of Samsung Infuse 4G.

At this year’s edition of CES we’ve seen quite the number of new technologies being announced, probably the most interesting ( “eye-cathcing” to say the least ) being the innovations brought to the displays of our future smartphones.

If the Xperia Arc ( and probably the PlayStation Phone aka Xperia Play ) will come with the “Reality Display” derived from Sony’s award winning Bravia technology and LG has blessed its Optimus Black smartphone with the NOVA display ( “the brightest, clearest and most readable among mobile screens with 700 nits of brightness for optimal visibility” ), Samsung couldn’t stay passive and has announced that the Infuse 4G will boast a Super Amoled Plus display. What this means? Read after the break.

The Super Amoled Plus technology increases the number of sub-pixels by 50%. According to Samsung this increase of sub-pixels will make the screen more visible when exposed to bright light.

Also the text and the image edges will appear more crisper and the contrast will be further improved. If you add these enhancements to the already fantastic quality of the classic Amoled display…it’s clearly that Samsung knows how to stay on top of its game when it comes to display technologies.

Ok, let’s go back to the recently announced Samsung Infuse and talk about the rest of its specs:

  • 1.2GHz single-core Hummingbird CPU
  • 4.5 inch Super Amoled Plus display
  • 8MP camera on the back
  • 1.3MP camera for video-conferencing
  • Android 2.2 OS ( sadly, Samsung Infuse 4G won’t come with 2.3 Gingerbread pre-installed )
  • HSPA+ connectivity ( no, altough it bears the 4G in its name, Infuse won’t boast LTE connectivity…strange to say the least )

It was also announced that the Samsung Infuse 4G release date will come sometime in Q2 2011 and the phone will be available exclusively on AT&T.

Thanks Into Mobile for letting usk now about the Samsung Infuse 4G announcement.

OMG , i am waiting for this phone. what is taking so long? i keep seeing the atrix and inspire 4g and im really tempted to get one. Ill wait a little bit longer( Come on samsung!!!!)

Whatever you do, do not get Atrix. Motorola as US phone maker made all the false promises to it’s customer for all the bangs for the bucks with 1930 mah Battery. But unfortunately sad but true.. that you will find even in ATT website customer review for it’s poor battery performances. So do not buy it, all the advertising u see is all lies.

phone looks amazing…but, it seems its not a true “4g” cause it doesnt have LTE technology, and also i read the RAM is lacking (512mb) while htc has 768mb abd motorola has 1gb

Reply

johnjoe213 April 10, 2011 at 8:31 am

Word is, 4-30-11 is the release date. They messed up releasing the captive too early, too many problems with captivate when it first came out. They will take there time to release this phone… Samsung does not want be a company who’s best phone always end up having issues. But the only problem with that, we are a have to have now nation… if samsung takes to long people gona buy other phones.

BUT; Do you think they will make a otter box or protective case cause i don’t want to break it!

jennifer Ramsey September 10, 2011 at 12:06 am

I just got mine and so far I love it! I ordered an otterbox for and forgot that I had ordered the civer by Ballistics and screen protectors. I like my Ballistics one a lot better and before I would always swear by otterbox. So, i have a black Otterbox if anyone is interested. I’ll charge 45$ and I eat the shipping. Sounds like a ten ddollar savings to me so email me at Jennifereramsey@att.net!
