Samsung SPH-L500 Appears On The FCC With Sprint As Its Destination

Samsung SPH L500 Appears On The FCC With Sprint As Its DestinationAnother day, another device arrives at the FCC for inspection, and this time around it would be the Samsung SPH-L500 that is on the receiving end. It seems that the Samsung SPH-L500 is well on its way over to the market, especially when it has already arrived at the FCC for further inspection and subsequently, approval of course. This Sprint-bound Samsung handset has already picked up its FCC stripes, where it is noted that it will arrive with CDMA/EV-DO connectivity on board, in addition to 4G LTE band 25 support, and when probed further, that would refer to it being Sprint’s preferred flavor of LTE.

Other available features on the Samsung SPH-L500 would be Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity, in addition to support for Simultaneous Voice and LTE (SVLTE). Engadget has taken note of the Samsung SPH-L500’s dimensions, where it measures 133mm x 68mm wide, which would make it slightly smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S3, with the general public having nothing else to do except to sit and wait for an official announcement.

Uncle Sam just played host to Samsung’s SPH-L500 smartphone at the FCC, and it looks like the handset’s next stop will be Sprint. With a 850 / 1900 CDMA radio and support for Band 25 LTE / SVLTE (simultaneous voice and data), the South Korean-designed smartphone carries the requisite kit to operate on the Now Network, and also packs WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC. Though other details are scant, digging into the government paperwork reveals one major clue: size. Measuring up at roughly 5.2 inches tall and 2.6 inches wide, it’s clear that we’re in store for a hefty device, as it’s ever so slightly smaller than the Galaxy S 4. Big Yellow and Samsung haven’t made the hardware official just yet, but that’s likely to change soon as it’s cleared one of the final hurdles left between it and US availability.
