Samsung’s original Instinct surprised many when an eager public turned it into one of Sprint’s most successful devices, so it’s little surprise that the carrier are now expecting similarly impressive things from its successor, the Instinct HD. High-Definition is certainly one of the more popular buzzwords around right now, so you can’t argue with Sprint’s branding onus; the big question is whether the device itself lives up to the billing. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Samsung and Sprint have finally come clean and officially announced the Instinct HD, which will hit stores in the US from September 27th. The Instinct HD brings with it a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 touchscreen, EVDO Rev.A, WiFi b/g, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera recording 720p (1280 x 720 30fps) video and, perhaps most interesting, a TV-out connection supporting HD resolutions with an optional HDMI adapter.
We’re resisting the urge to break into a rousing chorus of “We Are Family” at the sight of Sprint’s upcoming Samsung Instinct HD snuggling in between its siblings, so instead we’ll just point to the slightly bowed casing (middle-aged spread, perhaps?) and – in an image you can see after the cut – the 5-megapixel camera. The handset, last spotted in a Best Buy promotional leak, is tipped to arrive within the next month or so.
Best Buy’s website has outed the upcoming Sprint Samsung Instinct HD, and while there’s no confirmed release date the “coming soon” handset’s launch would seem to slot into a month-long window. It also confirms the official name for the touchscreen handset, which has been variously known as the m850 Dash and the S50 along its leaky history.
