Samsung, LG may release LTE phones in 2010
Samsung and LG, the world’s second and third largest handset manufacturers, may introduce their first LTE phones in 2010, Taiwanese sources say.
We’ve also heard Nokia intends to release LTE handsets in 2010, and, with Verizon and MetroPCS planning to roll-out LTE networks next year, we shouldn’t be surprised if all the above-mentioned phone makers will launch their 4G handsets via these two carriers.
Taiwan-based handset producers (probably including HTC) will also come up with LTE phones, but only as early as the first half of 2011.
Being a 4G wireless technology, LTE should allow end users to enjoy data transfer speeds of up to 100Mbps via their LTE-compatible phones.
