Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE is quite the mouthful

It isn't exactly a tongue twister, but the name "Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE" is wordy enough to trip over. Luckily, the Sprint handset itself is a little more straightforward.

Capacitive buttons

Samsung added a more interesting design element with the look and feel of these navigation buttons below the screen. They look physical, but are actually touch-sensitive.
