On Tuesday, we showed you pictures from an unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A. This is no ordinary version of the flagship Android model, but is equipped with the zippy Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and features LTE-A connectivity. The quad-core processor is clocked at 2.3GHz and supports the 150Mbps data speeds possible with the next generation of LTE.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A is official
Earlier this year, Verizon said that the Samsung Galaxy S4 on its lineup can be updated to work on the LTE-A pipeline that eventually will be used by Big Red. The model just introduced by Samsung will be available at first in Korea only, destined for the LTE-A pipeline belonging to SK Telecom that is being built out faster than originally envisioned.
The device will be available in two colors, Aurora Red and Arctic Blue and offers the same 5 inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution. There is 2GB of RAM with 32GB of native storage, a 13MP front-facing camera and a 2MP snapper on back. A 2,600mAh cell powers the phone which has Android 4.2 pre-installed.
If you don't live in South Korea, there is no need for jealousy. The Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A will be launched internationally in the months ahead.
