As for the Samsung Galaxy Stellar 4G, the handset was launched by Verizon back in August of last year. It has its circuitry built around a QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset which comes with a 1.2 GHz Krait processor and a full gigabyte of RAM. Due to its midrange status, the storage space of the Samsung Galaxy Stellar 4G is a bit meager at just 4GB but since the handset comes with a microSD card slot for memory expansion purposes, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue really. Display-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Stellar 4G sports a 4.0-inch TFT panel with a 480 x 800 resolution while its dual-shooter configuration includes a rear 3.15MP shooter and a front 1.3Mp snapper. Save up to $20 over carrier prices and purchase the Galaxy Stellar for just the change in your pocket.
