Samsung and Verizon Wireless proclaimed a 4G version of its Galaxy Tab Android tablet for Verizon’s LTE network that also enhances the clock rate to 1.2GHz and cranks up the camera to five megapixels. Verizon then pre-proclaimed a 4.3-inch “Samsung 4G LTE” Android smartphone and tipped a 4G LTE version of Novatel Wireless’ MiFi hotspot. The goods are aimed at Verizon’s new LTE network, which is claimed to shuttle data 10 times as quick as its current 3G speeds. 4G products have received top billing here at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show.
The Galaxy Tab motorized by Verizon’s 4G LTE network will comprise the same seven-inch TFT display with 1024 x 600 WSVGA resolution, and be motorized by the same Android 2.2 OS. However, while the current 3G Tab offers a three-megapixel back camera, the 4G LTE Tab will sport a five-megapixel rear-facing camera to go with the existing front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera for video chat.
