Samsung's own new Android phone has a gigantic 4.5" AMOLED display, making it a little larger than fresh rivals from Moto and LG—and packing other features that drew a "holy shit" from Gizmodo's Matt Buchanan.

Named the Infuse, its got a 1.2GHz processor, 4G (on AT&T's HSPA+ network), and an 8 megapixel back-side camera. A 1.3 megapixel webcam points the other direction.

There's no word on availability, pricing or detailed specifics, but it's clearly top of the range, so expect to go poor if you want one.
