The tipster says that the Stealth is expected to hit stores by mid-April, which is not far off, since the HTC Thunderbolt keeps being pushed-back to only God knows when, and the Motorola DROID BIONIC is slated for sometime late Q2 (May-June). Furthermore, the Stealth is said to offer pretty good battery life, lasting a 8-10 hours of 4G LTE usage with the included 1500mAh battery, and as of now their data speeds aren't being throttled, but that may change once the 4G smartphones go on sale.

Other than the Samsung Stealth coming with 4G LTE, it features an impressive 4.3inch Super AMOLED Plus with 480x800 WVGA resolution, a newer 1GHz Hummingbird processor (but still a single-core), an 8-MPix autofocus rear camera with 720p video recording and a 1.3MP front camera for video chat, HDMI output, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth v3.0, 828MB of internal storage, and micro SDHC memory card slot. It will come with Android 2.2 Froyo and with a new version of Samsung's TouchWiz interface, through the person who took these pictures says they installed LauncherPRO on the phone because they like how it looks better.
So which Verizon 4G smartphone do you want, the Samsung Stealth, HTC Thunderbolt, Motorola DROID BIONIC, or LG Revolution?
UPDATE*
The SAMSUNG Droid Charge, as the name "Stealth" is already trademarked and owned by another company. The included battery will actually be a 1600mAh capacity, not 1500mAh, and the camera will be able to record videos up to 1080p. Naturally we here have no way to verify any of this, but we're not crazy about the name "Droid Charge" and think "Stealth" sounds better.
Back when it leaked out that the Samsung DROID Charge for Verizon was gettin’ stuck with a rather hefty price tag of $299 on contract, we were hoping that some last minute rebates might drive the cost down a bit.

Verizon has just announced that the Charge will launch on April 28th, and sure enough: it’ll go for $299 on a 2 year contract. So, do the specs warrant the price? Check’em out after the jump.
The Specs:
- 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus Display
- Rear-facing 8 megapixel camera
- Front facing 1.3 megapixel camera
- 1 Ghz processor
- 4G/LTE Support
The specs are indeed pretty killer — but outside of the Super AMOLED Plus display, it’s pretty much an item-for-item match with the HTC Thunderbolt which Verizon slings for $249. Would that display justify the extra $50 to you.
