Sprint-bound Galaxy Reverb leaks, ICS on board

An image, which leaked on Twitter reveals a low-end Samsung Galaxy Reverb (SPH-M950), that's bound for a Sprint release. The image was leaked by the same source that brought us the Galaxy Jasper - a similar device bound for Verizon's LTE network. The post has been deleted from Twitter since, which leads us to believe that it was trustworthy.

The Reverb offers a different capacitive button layout than the Jasper, but otherwise looks identical. Both should feature a 4" WVGA (400 x 800) screen, 768 MB worth of RAM and a 5 MP camera on the back with Ice Cream Sandwich on top. Under the hood is where things are different - the Reverb is reportedly powered by a single-core 1.4GHz processor, while the Jasper has a high-end dual-core Krait processor, clocked at 1.5 GHz.

There's no word on eventual pricing or availability or if the Galaxy Reverb will offer LTE connectivity like the Galaxy Jasper.
