Just a day after announcing the miniature [HP Veer webOS smart phone](https://www.skatter.com/att-picks-up-pint-sized-hp-veer-pricing-and-availability-detailed/), AT&T held an event to unveil the ridiculously large Samsung Infuse 4G. Despite packing a 4.5 inch Super AMOLED screen to outdo even the [HTC Thunderbolt](https://www.skatter.com/htc-thunderbolt-verizon-wireless-review/) and [Motorola Droid X](https://www.skatter.com/motorola-droid-x-verizon-review/), this Android-powered handset is also the carrier’s thinnest phone at just 8.99 mm thick. The Infuse 4G first made an appearance a few months ago at CES 2011 earlier this year and will finally hit stores a little over a week from now.

# The Specs

Although other Summer 2011 handsets such as the [HTC EVO 3D](https://www.skatter.com/ctia-2011-htc-evo-3d-hands-on-video-sprint/) pack a dual-core experience, it looks as though Samsung only provides a single 1.2 GHz processor. The Infuse 4G ships with the year-old Android 2.2 (Froyo), but I hope to see AT&T push to bring customers an update to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) sooner than later. [Google I/O 2011](https://www.skatter.com/tune-into-google-io-2011-from-home/) is just a week away and we might see an even newer version of their operating system demoed at the event.

> “When you combine the powerful 1.2 GHz application processor with AT&T’s advanced 4G network, this device will truly be the fastest smartphone Samsung has ever created with AT&T,” said Omar Khan, chief technology officer & chief product officer for Samsung Mobile.

For photos and 720p HD video capture, this smart phone comes with an 8-megapixel camera. There is also another 1.3 megapixel camera on the front for video calls using services such as [Qik](https://www.skatter.com/qik-now-offers-cross-platform-video-calls-for-android-and-ios/) or Tango. I’m confident that the recently launched [Google Talk with video](https://www.skatter.com/google-talk-for-android-gets-video-chat-ahead-of-io-2011-conference/) will make its way to the Infuse 4G too. There is no word on internal storage, but AT&T will ship a 2 GB microSD in the packaging and customers can upgrade to a 32 GB card if needed.

Fans of Angry Birds will be glad to hear that the game comes pre-loaded on the Infuse 4G. Samsung will also provide access to their Movie Hub for on-demand video content and the first half-million purchases will ship with a $25 voucher. While [Motorola Atrix customers](https://www.skatter.com/motorola-atrix-4g-att-review/) had to temporarily deal with slow 4G network speeds until an update, AT&T will hopefully work with Samsung to provide a fast HSPA+ experience out of the box.

# Pricing and Availability

Those looking to buy a Infuse 4G can do so on May 15th for $199 with a new two-year contract. Unlike Verizon Wireless, customers can opt for a more-affordable $15 per month data plan bringing the reoccurring monthly fees down to as little as $55\. We will try to get our hands on a device for a full review, so stay tuned for more details.
