Samsung Conquer 4G review

It’s peculiar how a simple number and letter can cause the price to skyrocket when added to the end of a phone’s name. But that’s exactly what the term “4G” does — ultimately, making a phone or tablet compatible with a carrier’s next-generation network seems to add value (and cost) in unthinkable ways. There’s a growing concern in the mobile industry; Sprint’s WiMAX 4G coverage, once a novelty in the United States, is now just one of the boys. It faces direct competition against its two (much larger) LTE brethren in Verizon and AT&T, and the Now Network is searching for other methods of utilizing its high-speed offerings. In doing so, the carrier wants to keep the value high without escalating the expense. Enter the Samsung Conquer 4G, the latest addition to Sprint’s blazing-fast lineup. Rather than going head-to-head with giants like the Photon 4G and EVO 3D , the company’s strategy is to offer a WiMAX-enabled handset that’s light on the wallet. It’s not the least expensive of the bunch these days — the Samsung Nexus S 4G takes the cake there — but it’s another option to toss into the network’s growing lineup. So does this mid-range handset have a shot at living up to its namesake? Keep on reading to find out.
