It is a given fact that in US shores, Verizon is currently in the lead when we talk about LTE coverage in our side of the world. AT&T may be in second place but Verizon’s network is still ahead by leaps and bounds in terms of coverage. Sprit on the other hand is still waiting for the green light to get its LTE network lit up but Big Red is undertaking a relentless expansionist policy as if the two trailing carriers are already nipping at its heels.
In fact, Verizon is not showing signs of slowing down and gives off the impression that it is not giving the competition the chance to play catch up. The wireless provider has been making announcement after announcement after announcement of new markets getting LTE coverage in addition to expansion of existing LTE coverage in others. If your neck of the woods is still not part of the areas getting access to the LTE network of Verizon, chances are it would get some LTE love one of these days with the expansion that Big Red is going through.
In the same vein, another announcement has been posted in the official website of the carrier where Verizon confirmed that several new areas will be getting 4G LTE access come June 21 and these are as follows:
- Idaho in Eastern Oregon
- Jacksonville and New Bern, North Carolina
- Burlington, North Carolina
- Indiana, Pennsylvania
- Bedford, Pennsylvania
- And expansion in The Triangle, North Carolina
With this rapid expansionist policy underway, subscribers of the carrier in more areas rocking an HTC Rezound 4G will get access to the LTE network of Big Red. As for the handset, the HTC Rezound 4G is one of the better-performing smartphones in the 4G LTE lineup of the carrier and was at one point considered to be one of the best handsets to be offered by Big Red. In addition to that, the handset was pitted directly in the past with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and could have gotten the upper hand if not for the fact that the Google flagship device was already running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich while the HTC handset was still stuck in the Gingerbread generation.
The addition of the HTC Rezound 4G to the lineup of Verizon was announced back in November of last year and the handset was made available to the smartphone-buying public in the same month. The operation of the handset revolves around its QualComm MSM8660 SnapDragon chipset. This SoC gives the HTC Rezound 4G dual-core capabilities through the dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor and 1GB of RAM it brings to the table. in terms of storage space, the handset boasts of an internal memory rated at 16GB and also comes pre-installed with a 16GB microSD card for memory expansion. The handset features a 4.3-inch SuperLCD display with a 1280 x 720 resolution and also comes with Beats Audio integration for better sound quality. IT also comes with capable shooters with its rear 8MP shooter and 2MP front-facer.
