TheSamsung Galaxy S Relay 4G is anAndroidtouchscreenslidersmartphone designed and manufactured bySamsung forT-Mobile USA. It resembles theSamsung Epic 4G in appearance and shares the Epic 4G's screen and camera specifications, but the CPU and other internal hardware is more similar to theSamsung Galaxy S III.
Newer competitors include theBlackBerry KeyOne andBlackBerry Priv. As well, official and unofficial external keyboards are available for someSamsung Galaxy devices, including theGalaxy Note 5, theGalaxy S6, theGalaxy S7, and some newer phones. Samsung calls its official external keyboard a "keyboard cover".
The phone's model number assigned by Samsung isSGH-T699. Over the months leading up to the device's launch, various leaks emerged assigning different names to this model: first "Samsung Apex Q," then "Samsung Galaxy S Blaze Q," and finally on August 15, 2012 the name that it would launch with was revealed: "Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G."[4]
Unlike many otherAndroid handsets, the Galaxy S Relay 4G has a five-row physical keyboard.

The phone includes a micro-USB port.
Due to limitations in the phone's included firmware,[6] the phone does not supportUSB On-The-Go. Still, as with other modern Android phones, there are other ways to connectperipherals. For example:Bluetooth keyboards and many Bluetooth mice work with the phone, and a compatible monitor or TV can be connected using a compatibleMobile High-Definition Link cable. Alternatively, it may be possible for the phone's owner to "attach" a personal computer's keyboard, mouse, and monitor using an app such as TeamViewer QuickSupport.
The Galaxy S Relay 4G features a 1.5 GHz dual-coreSnapdragon S4 processor with an Adreno 225 GPU.[1] Initially it was reported that the phone would have the older S3 chipset, and this was even printed on the box, but Samsung and T-Mobile have both confirmed that it will launch with the newer S4 chipset.
The phone contains 1 GB RAM, 8 GB internal flash storage with approximately 5 GB available to the user, and supports up to a 32 GBMicroSD card.[1]
The Micro SD card slot, after Jelly Bean update, will support a 64 GB Micro SD card.

The phone includes an 1800mAh battery, providing theoretical talk time up to 10 hours, and standby time up to 13 days.[1] It uses a Qualcomm PM8921power management chip[5] to handle battery charging. The phone supports Qualcomm's "Quick Charge 1.0" technology,[7] and can draw up to 2 amps from some[8] (but not all) 2-amp chargers.
The device features quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM connectivity for 2G networks.UMTS bands I (UMTS 2100), II (1900), IV (1700/2100/AWS), and V (850)are supported. HSPA+ Category 24 provides a maximum theoretical data speed of 42 Mbit/s.[1]
