Samsung Hercules coming to T-Mobile 21st September?

It’s good to know that T-Mobile is currently supplying about 170 million Americans with HSPA+ 42 speeds, but at the same time the carrier does not actually have a device that can fully take advantage of those speeds. Thanks to a leaked roadmap schedule for T-Mobile, it appears that a new smartphone will be making an appearance on T-Mobile come 21st of September which some are speculating to be the Samsung Hercules.

According to the rumored specs, it looks pretty much like the Samsung Galaxy S II with a couple of exceptions, one of them being that it will run on a Qualcomm processor as opposed to Samsung’s own Exynos and it will also feature a larger display. The rest of the rumored specs are:

• 4.5-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display
• Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• NFC support, though compatibility with the forthcoming ISIS mobile payment standard is “to be determined”
• Category 24 HSDPA (42Mbps) and Category 6 HSUPA (5.76Mbps) for extremely fast HSPA+ support — faster than any HSPA+ phone currently sold in the US
• AWS plus 850 / 1900MHz compatibility for support on AT&T’s “4G” network if the merger succeeds
• Preliminary measurements place it at 5.16 x 2.76 x 0.37 inches — within a few hundredths of an inch of the Infuse
• 16GB internal ROM, 1GB internal RAM, external microSD up to 32GB
• Here’s where it outdoes the Infuse: it’s quoted with a Qualcomm 1.2GHz dual-core APQ8060 application processor, which is extraordinarily unusual for a Samsung — particularly considering the availability of Samsung’s own multi-core Exynos line; it’s paired with an MDM8220 modem processor
• 8 megapixel primary camera with flash and 1080p video capture, secondary front-facing camera
• Like the Galaxy S II, the Hercules won’t have a dedicated HDMI port — it’ll move high-def video over Micro USB using MHL
