Similar to what happened two weeks ago, new Samsung models dominated the Federal Communications Commission's approval database this week. Because the FCC has to certify every phone sold in the United States, not to mention test its SAR rating, the agency's online database offers a lot of sneak peeks to those who dig. And to save you the trouble, Crave has combed through the database for you. Here are a selection of filings from the past week on new and upcoming cell phones. Click through to read the full report.

Huawei T521
Samsung SCH-B269
Samsung SCH-M490
Samsung SCH-W229
