Images of Samsung’s second Android-based smartphone have cropped up online.
Samsung's second Android phone: InstinctQ
While the Galaxy i7500 [1] sports a smart and streamlined body, the firm’s second Android device – InstinctQ – is a slider with physical Qwerty thumbpad – which may explain the use of the letter ‘Q’ in the phone’s moniker.
The mole that leaked the images to [2] website Phandroid hasn’t managed to sneak out any of the phone’s technical specifications and, sadly, the images - pretty as they are - don’t reveal much.
A recently leaked document revealed the phone supports Wi-Fi
But, judging by the greasy fingerprints on the phone’s screen, we’d guess that the phone has a touchscreen display.
It’s worth remembering that a Wi-Fi certification document for the phone was discovered last month, though, confirming that the InstinctQ does at least support 802.11 b/g.
A launch date hasn't been confirmed
Since Samsung hasn’t confirmed the InstinctQ’s existence, it isn’t yet known when the Android smartphone will launch.
