A Nexus 4 with LTE passes Bluetooth SIG certification - MovilZona.es

When just a couple of months the Nexus 4 was ranked 100 € cheaper at both 8 and 16GB models in the Google Play Store, everyone figured it was the typical decision to liquidate ‘stock’ to put on sale the new model. The Nexus archifamoso 5.

But it will be no. That although these models are being liquidated itself, at the same Nexus 4 he still had plenty of life ahead, at least one LTE version that might arrive at the same time as his brother more, the new Nexus 5 5-inch screen and some other things.

The fact is that on October 25, a Nexus 4 with model number LG-E960 passed the certification relevant Bluetooth GIS that is required of any terminal , and from the accompanying literature could be read quite clearly that the device had LTE. Remember that the Nexus 4 , now in its launch last November 13, 2012, came with LTE capability but Google blocked it updating the firmware, so it really was never operational.

The Nexus 4 8GB is exhausted and no more stock.

Disclosing this

LTE Nexus 4 opens the door to a few assumptions, like what Google’s strategy is to commercialize its Nexus smartphones from the coming weeks: copy (in a good way) to Apple leaving the camera on the bottom of the range and put the new one as a price cap could range between 100 and 150 € of difference? Or maybe this is a terminal for a particular market? You do you think?

By the way, for those who have doubts between LTE or 4G, to say that the first is a type of connection is a tad slower than the 4G but much faster than traditional 3G because, in fact, it is technological evolution of the UMTS standard. Thus, roughly , a device with LTE can reach (as hardware and type) very similar speeds to 4G but, strictly, it is not 4G technology.
