Clearwire Confirms 2 New 4G-Ready Androids On The Way
The HTC EVO 4G is expected to be available soon, and one of its biggest draws is the fact that’s America’s first 4G-enabled phone. Without getting into the debate regarding WiMax 4G vs LTE 3G, we’re already starting to wonder about the next batch of 4G devices headed our way, and Clearwire’s got the goods. The phones would be donning Clearwire’s branding, but it’s not sure what markets they’ll be targeting or which carriers they’ll be pushing the phone through (they have a pretty big footprint in all forms of telecommunication).
HTC and Samsung are said to be the manufacturers of each device, respectively. The Samsung will be “an Android-based 3G/4G/WiFi device optimized for heavy video and video communications use,” while the HTC device will similarly be targeted as “a 3G/4G/WiFi enabled phone”. It’s suggested that – thanks to the lack of “Android-based” in the HTC device’s description – their device would actually be running the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series.
We’re set to see these devices sometime later in the year, but Clearwire hasn’t dropped any more details. Are you ready for the 4G invasion? It all begins this summer with the EVO 4G.
