T-Mobile has just sent out a press release to let us know about its newest 4G smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. The Galaxy S 4G will have an 21Mbps HSPA+ radio, Android 2.2, and Super AMOLED display. The press release is pretty light on specs and, conveniently, doesn’t include a picture of the new device (the above image is the Vibrant). T-Mobile is promising to provide more details “in the coming week” — a price and release date would be nice — and we’ve got the full text of said release waiting for you after the break.

T-Mobile to Deliver Fastest Smartphone Running on America’s Largest 4G Network

Galaxy S 4G Offers Rich Entertainment Experience at Lightning-Fast Speeds

BELLEVUE, Wash., and DALLAS — Jan. 20, 2011 — T-Mobile USA, Inc. and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S.1, today revealed the Galaxy S™ 4G, exclusively from T-Mobile.

According to T-Mobile, the Galaxy S 4G will be the fastest smartphone running on America’s Largest 4G Network™. Powered by Android™ 2.2 (Froyo), the Galaxy S 4G is T-Mobile’s first smartphone capable of delivering theoretical peak download speeds of up to 21 Mbps, delivering rich entertainment experiences at even faster speeds through its brilliant Super AMOLED touch screen display.

T-Mobile’s 4G network, America’s largest 4G network, is currently available in 100 major metropolitan areas, reaching approximately 200 million people nationwide.
