It looks like Sprint will be seriously beefing up its portfolio of LTE devices later this year. The rumor is that the LG LS970 (internal name “LG G”) will be joining the Now Network at some point in the fourth quarter of this year. What makes this an interesting news is that this is the first time we’re hearing about a smartphone that packs both a quad-core processor and LTE radio — if you look at the HTC One X for example, its LTE version rocks Qualcomm’s dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU (rather than a quad-core one). In other words, we think of the LS970 as an LTE-enabled LG Optimus 4X HD and in that sense it will also pack a large 4.7-inch 720p screen (most likely True HD IPS).
All said, we’re not sure which company will make this processor. BriefMobile thinks it could be TI, which OMAP5 is planned to be released later in the year. That’s just a speculation, but that’s all we have at the moment.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
