Can't confirm these ourselves, but if
Android Central's sources are to be believed, these Samsung Galaxy S Pro specs are mighty impressive. Here's what we're looking at: a Sammy-borne 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, a Super AMOLED screen that may or may not be the same 4-inch, 800 x 480 window
on the Galaxy S, a strong QWERTY slider with raised keys, front-facing VGA camera, 5 megapixel back camera with 720p video recording capabilities, WiMAX support, and Android 2.1 with some
TouchWiz 3.0 customizations. As for qualms, the source does drop "plastic-y" a couple times in a none-too-flattering light. Still, for those who find a lack of physical keys a dealbreaker for the
EVO 4G, this might end up being a proper alternate. We'll have to wait and see -- not too long, right Sammy?

Slapping htc name on a Sammy product doesn't makeup for crappy build standards.
All I've got to say is whether people love, hate or are undecided about Android one thing is certain it has the power to help a company, just look at motorola or even the sprint lineup which is much better than last year's mediocre one, I've recently ragged on samsung as a result of that Tape tablet and the Behold II but the more I'm seeing of this device and a few others the easier it is to admit I was wrong, I'm even eyeing that Captivate.
Take out the custom UI crap, give it a good, sturdy (non-plasticy) chassis, and it could be a winner. Vanilla Android is great as-is, and Samsung's folks are NOT the best UI designers in the world - and there's also enough Fischer-Price-quality phone builds in the world, already (*cough* Pre *cough*)... so hopefully they don't cheap out there, either. Just my $0.02.
