Samsung Galaxy S4 News: Currently, Verizon is still in the lead when talking about US carriers and their respective LTE networks in our side of the world. Big Red was able to get to the number one position by being the first wireless provider in the United States to light up its LTE network. In addition to that, Verizon also aggressively rolled out its LTE network which enabled it to be at the top spot in terms of the width and breadth of its coverage.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $149.99 .
AT&T which happens to be on the second spot refuses to just sit idly and watch while Verizon enjoys its comfortable lead. Ma Bell in fact has also taken an aggressive stance in the rollout of its 4G LTE network in the hopes of coming close to what Big Red has managed to achieve so far. In fact, AT&T has just announced a couple of weeks back that it already reach a major milestone in its rollout where its LTE network now covers a total of 365 LTE markets. The carrier however is not showing any indication of slowing down, which is good news for Galaxy S4 owners.
In fact, AT&T is pushing forward with the expansion of its LTE network and has recently announced that its LTE coverage is now online in 12 new markets. These new locations that are about to enjoy ultra-fast mobile internet speeds and overall network robustness are as follows:
- Corning, NY
- Mayfield, KY
- Paducah, KY
- Champaign-Urbana, IL
- Tifton, GA
- Moultrie, GA
- Springfield, OH
- Whitewater-Lake Geneva, WI
- Stevens Point, WI
- Marshall, TX
- Tyler, TX
- Tupelo, MS
With this recent batch of expansion, AT&T is now close to covering 99% of its 3G zones with 4G LTE which it intends to accomplish by the end of the year.
This recent development now means that users of AT&T LTE-enabled devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S IV now have more and more locations where they can take advantage of the carrier’s LTE coverage. And in addition to that, at the rate the carrier is going at the moment, it won’t be long before its 4G LTE coverage reaches your neck of the woods so stay tuned as we will let you know of further developments in AT&T’s quest to blanket the whole of the US with its LTE network.
Going back to the Samsung Galaxy S4, the handset not only supports the LTE network of AT&T, it is also one of the most powerful handsets currently available in the market today. It runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for its operating system while its circuitry is built around a QualComm APQ8064T SnapDragon chipset. A quad-core 1.9 GHz Krait 300 processor on the other hand works in conjunction with a whopping 2 GB of RAM in an effort to keep the performance level of the handset at peak levels. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in a 16GB and a 32GB version in terms of storage capacity and its internal memory can still be expanded with the use of its dedicated microSD card slot. Display-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S IV comes with a 5.0-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels while its camera department features a rear 13MP shooter and a front 2MP snapper.
