Verizon’s 4G LTE rollout has been accompanied by a market increase in the price of smartphones. Most of the carrier’s 4G models have been starting their lives at a $300 price point. The new Samsung Stratosphere is arriving on October 13th with LTE in tow, and it’s just $150 on contract. That’s half as much as the new Droid Bionic.
The Stratosphere will be based on the Galaxy S chassis with a 1GHz Hummingbird SoC, a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, 5MP front camera, 1.3MP back camera, and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.The hardware is decidedly last generation, but that sweet 4G data will still be a draw.
The Stratosphere runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the Samsung TouchWiz UI on top. Is this a price point that would entice you to go with Verizon?
