Samsung GT-i9070 Spotted at FCC En-Route to China

Unveiled a year ago, one of the most popular Android smartphones available on the market, Samsung Galaxy S II still makes headlines from time to time. 

Due to customers’ high demand for Samsung Android products, the Korean handset maker decided to launch more versions of the Galaxy S II in order to offer all Android fans the chance to taste some of the phone’s features.

Aside from the carrier-bounded Galaxy S II variants, Samsung released a slew of Galaxy S II smartphones with more or less features in comparison with the original model.

This time we have a specific Samsung GT-i9070 smartphone, which was spotted for the first at the Wi-Fi Certification site and in Samsung’s User Agent Profile, about a month ago.

Today, the folks over at WirelessGoodness discovered that the smartphones has just won FCC (Federal Communications Commission) for GSM/EDGE bands 850 and 1900, as well as WCDMA bands II and IV.

The phone’s leaked specs sheet indicates that this is lower version of the Galaxy S II, as the GT-i9070 is said to feature a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and autofocus, as well as a 1 GHz single core processor.

In addition, Samsung GT-i9070 is powered by Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread operating system and packs 6GB of internal memory, along with microSD card slot for memory expansion. There are no details on the phone’s display size, but it’s certain it will support 800 x 480 pixels resolution.

Although the phone has yet to be officially introduced by Samsung, rumor has it that the GT-i9070 will be launched in China next month.

The folks at WirelessGoodness also point out that while the smartphone supports GSM and WCDMA bands, it might work on AT&T network, though the carrier is unlikely to offer this less-featured Galaxy S II variant.
