HTC Titan II and Nokia Lumia 900, the first two LTE-capable Windows Phone devices in the world, made their debut in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Soon, more such handsets will become official, and one of them will be manufactured by Samsung.

Supposedly called Samsung Mandel, the handset was rumored last year along with the HTC Titan II, and has just been spotted in a User Agent file.

The UAProf document shows that Samsung is preparing the launch of a Samsung SGH-i667 smartphone that will pack LTE capabilities and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser. This means that it will have Windows, and the WVGAn screen resolution it will sport says that it is a phone.

It is unclear why Samsung chose not to unveil the Samsung Mandel smartphone at CES. However, Titan II and Lumia 900 will hit shelves only in a couple of months, so the handset still has time to become official.
