4.3-Inch Android 2.2 Handset Hitting Verizon 4G LTE


LG President and CEO Dr. Jong-seok Park stepped onto the stage at Verizon's 4G LTE press event this afternoon to show off the company's LG Revolution Android phone.

We caught a look at the Revolution earlier today, which sports a 4.3-inch screen and will ship running Android 2.2. With all the super-slim phones coming out of the woodwork, we noticed that LG's is looking a bit fat by comparison. Could be that there's a big battery under the hood that's providing the juice for the LTE modem, but we'll need to see more complete specifications to know for sure.

From what LG and Verizon have revealed, we know that the Revolution will be able to share its 4G connection with up to eight other devices over WiFi. Unfortunately, Verizon wasn't ready to disclose the details of the LTE data plans fueling that function.

If video calls are to be the killer app for 4G, the Revolution is ready to go, with a front-facing camera and the needed software.

Based on Verizon's statements regarding the LTE smartphone roll-out, you can expect the LG Revolution to be available in March at the earliest, and certainly here by mid-year.
