Samsung Stratosphere 2 images leak

What you see above could very well be the sequel to last year’s Samsung Stratosphere, the first LTE capable sliding QWERTY smartphone from Verizon Wireless. Retailing for $149.99 a pop with a new 2-year contract, it is clearly a mid-range smartphone from the beginning, and needless to say, it is about time for a sequel to hit the market. Since August, we have seen specifications for the Samsung Stratosphere 2 bandied about the Internet in the form of rumors, and it does seem as though the Samsung Stratosphere 2 is going to rankle among the mid-range device markets once again.

Evleaks are the folks behind the latest Samsung Stratosphere 2 image leaks, where an image tweeted shows more of the side-sliding QWERTY smartphone. It does seem to come with a slightly larger display, not to mention the almost certain possibility of a faster processor and perhaps an improved camera sensor, but other than that, it is not going to challenge the likes of the Galaxy S3 or the HTC One X+.

Samsung Stratosphere 2 and LG Spectrum 2 spotted in Verizon’s Equipment Guide

For those in the market for possible low-mid ranged smartphones, Verizon’s Equipment Guide might have revealed two devices which are successors to 2011’s models, namely the Samsung Stratosphere 2 and the LG Spectrum 2. Unfortunately as you can see from the leaked image above, a complete list of the hardware specs cannot be fully seen, but what we do know about the Samsung Stratosphere 2 is that much like its predecessor, it will feature a slideout QWERTY keyboard. It will also sport a 4” Super AMOLED display and will be compatible with Verizon’s 4G LTE network.

The LG Spectrum 2 on the other hand remains quite a mystery, although some believe that it will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with 1GB of RAM and an 8MP rear-facing camera. Not too shabby and given the specs, it should be sitting somewhere in the mid-range. In any case we will keep you updated with more information once it has been made available, so check back with us later for the details!
