Yeah, Sprint's LTE network might be in its very infancy right now, but the carrier must be feeling pretty confident, as it has just announced its very first 4G LTE devices – the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Sierra Wireless Tri-Network Hotspot and... the LG Viper smartphone!
Now, while we can imagine that most smartphone aficionados will flock for the Galaxy Nexus, but you know, there's always that group of people who would rather go for something different. The alternative way to go in terms of LTE phones on Sprint, so to speak, is the LG Viper – an Android 2.3 Gingerbread handset, equipped with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4" WVGA NOVA screen and 5MP camera. Seems like a mid- to high-end smartphone to us! What makes it even more interesting, however, is that it's also an ECO-friendly smartphone, having a casing, 35% of which is made of recycled plastics. In addition, the phone will come with a charger sporting a no-load consumption rating of .03W, exceeding the EC Code of Conduct on energy efficiency.
Unfortunately, pricing and availability details will be announced closer to launch.
