14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian wireless carrier TELUS is gearing up for the release of its first LTE-capable devices, and one of them will be the LG Optimus LTE, recent reports around the web suggest.
The handset, a high-end device that packs a 4.5 inch true HD IPS display, is listed on LG’s website as being on its way to TELUS, even if no specific info on its possible release date or pricing has been unveiled as of yet.
The wireless carrier will have this Android-based mobile phone added to its offering along with the highly appealing Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE.
LG Optimus LTE might not be able to measure up against Galaxy Note and its 5.3-inch touchscreen display, but it still has some great capabilities to offer to its users, including its IPS display.
The LTE-capable smartphone is not new to the Canadian market. It was made available for purchase back in November on the airwaves of Bell.
Today, however, it is clear that TELUS too will add it to its offering. Those who will access LG’s website will see the device listed there as being on its way to this wireless carrier.
Here’s what LG notes there:
