Would demigods feel honored that smartphones are getting named after them? The [Samsung Hercules](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/unannounced-samsung-hercules-headed-to-t-mobile-bearing-godli/), from what we can tell, seems to fit its given title appropriately; he was, after all, famous for his behemoth strength. Sadly, we've known more about *him *than his technological counterpart, though that may be soon changing. *MobileSyrup* found someone clutching onto the still-unannounced device at a VIP event and snapped a quick pic for the world to see. While they didn't get any hands-on time, they indicated that it was running on Telus, it appeared to have a 4.5-inch display (as rumored), and is a design mashup of the [Galaxy S II](http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/), [Nexus S](http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/), and the [Infuse 4G](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/13/samsung-infuse-4g-review/). This still leaves us with nothing but spec rumors -- which include a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, Super AMOLED Plus display, 16GB of flash storage, 42Mbps HSPA+, and an eight megapixel camera -- but it's nice to have a face to go with the famous name. For somebody who likes to [go the distance](http://www.engadget.com/tag/disney), its superphone namesake sure seems awfully close.
