Just moments ago, AT&T and Samsung proudly unveiled their newest smartphone, the Infuse 4G. And guess what, it has been made official! The Samsung Infuse 4G is regarded as “remarkably light, weighing less than Nexus S, even with 0.5-inch larger screen and larger battery.” By all accounts, this is most definitely the precursor to the Samsung Galaxy S II.
It might not be the largest touch screen smartphone from Samsung, but sure enough, you will be fascinated with its 4.5-inch super AMOLED Plus screen and its 8.99mm thickness. It has an 8 megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3 megapixel camera on the front. Plus, it will be powered by a 1.2 GHz single core processor and it will be the first ever smartphone to feature HSPA+ at 14.4Mbps. Also, important to know that it will run the soft served Android 2.2 Froyo.
The nation’s thinnest 4G device is the most definite pre-cursor to what is looking to be the most powerful phone in 2011 – the Samsung Galaxy S II. It will be out in stores this forthcoming May 15 and it will have a price tag of $199 on contract with no rebate clutter for you to undergo.
Also, Rovio, AT&T and Samsung announced that they will be having a contest which caught everyone’s attention. This marks the 10 billionth endorsement Rovio’s made for Angry Birds in the past few months and i’m wondering what the prizes will be. I guess it could be some Samsung Infuse 4G? Seems interesting, right?

The display also offers unmatched outdoor viewing quality, even in the brightest sunlight.
With the Infuse 4G, Samsung and AT&T are raising the stakes on pre-loaded content that is not available on any other device. In collaboration with Rovio, the Infuse 4G will feature a special edition of Angry Birds pre-loaded on the smartphone. Players can unlock a special “Golden Egg” level of the game, and once the special level is completed, users can register to win Samsung prizes exclusive to Infuse 4G users.**
The smartphone also includes an 8-megapixel camera/camcorder with auto-focus and flash that shoots HD video with incredible detail. A front facing camera is perfect for self portraits or video chat. Customers can also watch hit movies and TV shows from preloaded apps like Samsung Media Hub, U-verse Mobile and U-verse Live TV.
The first 500,000 Infuse 4G units sold will include a $25 voucher for consumers to get started on downloading content from Media Hub. With Media Hub’s progressive downloading feature, users can start watching their content almost immediately as the rest of the file downloads to the Infuse 4G. Plus, all Media Hub content can be shared among five Media Hub-enabled devices on the same account. The Infuse 4G also comes with a 2GB microSD card with preloaded trailers for upcoming summer movies.

The app combines both social media and text activity from five favorite contacts into an animated wallpaper, keeping users better connected with those that matter most. Customers can download the app for free in Android Market today.
