Verizon Samsung Gem The Samsung Gem that was officially announced to arrive on US Cellular a few days ago will be headed to Verizon in the near future as well. Some photographs of the phone have been posted online, showing off the phone with Verizon badge on the device and on the startup screen itself. The phone is nothing to shout about, featuring entry-level specs, Android 2.2 and no 4G LTE, but that means it shouldn’t cost too much with a 2-year Verizon contract either. Head here to check out more images of the device. Will you be picking up this phone when it lands on Big Red?
