LAS VEGAS — Verizon and Samsung together on Thursday announced the latter company’s first 4G LTE-enabled smartphone, which runs on Google Android 2.2.

  • 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen display
  • 1GHz application processor
  • HTML 5 web browser
  • 4G LTE connectivity
  • Rear-facing 8 megapixel camera with LED flash

Samsung is gonna ride those AMOLED screens to the top of the smartphone heap. They really got their game in high gear with the Galaxy S design.
