New Device, Tons of potential

When I saw this device, I thought of iPhone style devices. Then, When I read the announced specifications, was blown away, mainly about the 5MP front facing camera. That's a first by many means on Android devices.

So, sitting here at the moment, I see this.
1.5GHZ Quad Core Processor
Unknown RAM
8MP Back camera
5MP Front camera

- Now, what we need to see is what's the ram, what's the built in storage, will it give us an SD slot for more, and what else does the phone have as far as functionality goes.

Other than this, will it hit the US market? This would be a great competitor to the Galaxy Notes 1 & 2, the S3, and potentially the S4. Even more so like the Optimus G, the Sony Xperia Ion, and others.
