Samsung Stealth 4G to hit Verizon April 14

Samsung LTE 4GLeaked pictures and anonymous tipsters, how ye make the world go round. The folks at TechnoBuffalo have caught a glimpse of the Samsung  4G LTE phone Verizon showed off at CES this year. It has been renamed the Samsung Stealth and is now targeted for an April 14th launch. More importantly, we’ve got its tech specs listed below. Many of these specs were revealed at CES, but a few are new.

Samsung Stealth specs

  • Android 2.2 Froyo, upgradeable
  • 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen (480×800)
  • 1 GHz Hummingbird processor
  • 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
  • Mobile hotspot up to 8 devices
  • 8MP rear camera, LED flash, auto-focus
  • 1.3MP front camera
  • 828 MBs internal storage
  • microSD memory card slot expandable up to 32GBs
  • Assisted GPS
  • HDMI port, 720p HD
  • 1500 mAh   lithium ion battery (standard size)

Not bad specs, but there is nothing impressive about them either, aside from Samsung’s Super AMOLED screen, which is gorgeous. Interestingly, many of Verizon’s next generation 4G phones have single-core processors, while many 3G phones are moving to dual-core. Perhaps 4G integration is costing manufacturers or there is a problem with dual-core devices and Verizon’s LTE network. We know that Motorola’s Xoom, a dual-core device, is supposed to have 4G LTE, but won’t get it for some months. Owners will have to send in their Xoom to have 4G added.

To check out our initial impressions of the Samsung Stealth, head here. A couple pictures from TechnoBuffalo are below.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look
Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
