Casio Commando 4G LTE coming to Verizon
Looks like Verizon Wireless is preparing to add another rugged Casio smartphone to its portfolio. The upcoming Casio Commando 4G LTE has been leaked by EVLeaks, which unfortunately doesn’t say anything about the release date. Moreover, we’ve no idea what kind of hardware this phone hides under the hood and can only hope the Japanese company managed to cram a quad-core processor inside. We would also like to see the Commando 4G LTE sporting 2GB of RAM to make multi-tasking faster, though I’m afraid that won’t be the case. The … Read more

Verizon Wireless has recently expanded its offering of low-cost smartphones for prepay customers with the addition of LG’s Optimus Zone and Optimus Exceed.

It comes with a rather small 3.2-inch QVGA touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel rear camera, 800MHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of expandable storage, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. Further updates are not planned and I guess we shouldn’t expect them from a phone that costs just $79.99 sans any … Read more
