14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has a nice range of handsets featuring LTE connectivity available for its users, but it appears that it is also preparing to release some new, more appealing ones.
Among them, we can count an LG smartphone that popped up at the Global Certification Forum with model number VS930 attached to it.
For starters, we should note that the numbering matches the one used by Verizon for other smartphones from LG, namely Spectrum - VS920 - and Revolution - VS910.
Clearly, this suggests that the GCF (Global Certification Forum) has approved for use yet another LTE-capable Android device from LG for the United States carrier.
Moreover, the guys over at Droid-life note that a benchmark for this device emerged online back in April, and that it did mention Verizon on it.
However, the GCF approved this handset only with global radios, without mentioning any of the CDMA or LTE bands that might link it to Verizon’s network.
The news site claims that Verizon’s determination to include global connectivity with all of its devices moving forward would explain the phone’s supported frequencies, and it also suggests that this might in fact be the newly launched LG Optimis LTE II.
The smartphone made it to the market in South Korea with a large 4.7″ HD display, a dual-core Snapdragon S4 application processor, and a massive amount of RAM, namely 2GB.
This is twice the RAM that flagship devices have these days, and it should help users enjoy increased performance on their mobile phones.
LG released this device to compete directly with Samsung’s new Galaxy S III, and it makes perfect sense for the company to push it to more markets around the world. However, without an official word from either Verizon or LG on this, we’ll put it in the rumor section for now. Keep an eye on this space for additional info.
