Sprint to launch the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as its first LTE phone

Sprint to launch the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as its first LTE phone

Although Sprint's didn't actually talk about this, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will become its very first LTE handset. An official Sprint ad seen over at Cnet (check the right side of the page) clearly says so. The ad doesn't say when Sprint will launch the Galaxy Nexus, and if you click on “Learn more” you get an unfriendly 404 on Sprint's website.

Sprint LTE Headed for San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Atlanta by Mid-2012

We're a bit of ways away from seeing 4G LTE from Sprint and any devices to take advantage of but we already have confirmation of the first markets that Sprint will be launching in courtesy of head honcho Dan Hesse. We've got three Texas cities in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio all lined up alongside their southern brother Atlanta, GA. Mid-2012 is the target date that Sprint initially set and they look to be on pace to meet that. By the time they launch we should have at least a few devices ready to take advantage of those fast speeds.

LG Optimus 3D teardown images released by the FCC

While stereoscopic 3D TVs were attempting to take off in a big way at CES last year, here we are 365 days later, and how many people in your circle of friends do you know who actually own one of these TVs, let alone having amassed a huge collection of 3D Blu-ray discs. Having said that, smartphones that come with stereoscopic 3D displays which do not require any special 3D glasses to view did roll out last year, with the HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D, but those two did not burn up the sales charts, either.

As the name implies, this model will come with a 9.7" capacitive color touch screen display at 1024 x 768 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Underneath the hood would be a dual-core 1.1GHz (Cortex A9 based) processor from Broadcom, where the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system will ensure you have the smoothest Android experience to date.
