Samsung Galaxy S Advance, you know that Sammy smartphone that sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, has been spotted at the FCC, where the government-employed engineers got to play with it before it’s potentially introduced to the U.S. market. We say “potentially,” since the fact that some device gets FCC’s seal of approval doesn’t necessarily mean it will be introduced by an U.S. carrier.
Speaking of which [U.S. carriers], this particular Galaxy S Advance sings along AT&T’s 3G network (850 and 1900 MHz), hinting us we could see it introduced in the near future. Moreover, Canada’s Rogers Wireless may also be interested to include it in its portfolio.
Meanwhile, the Korean company has officially announced the Galaxy S Advance for Germany with a suggested retail price of 494 EUR (about $625). Yeah that sounds kinda too much, but we should also add that the actual market prices of Samsung smartphones in Germany are usually lower than those suggested by the manufacturer.
Again, the Galaxy S Advance rocks a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, 1GHz dual-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, 8 or 16 GB of built-in storage, and a microSD memory card slot.
