[Update: Statement Corrected] Verizon: Galaxy S2 Will Have 4G LTE; We Aren’t Getting Our Hopes Up
This goes so far from the norm with Verizon that I am very skeptical about this, but I’ll report it anyway – a rep on their VZWSupport Twitter account has mentioned to a user that the Galaxy S II will have 4G LTE. Think about this for a minute – a customer support rep, who are often proven to be cloudy when it comes to details – has confirmed a feature for a phone that Verizon has yet to officially acknowledge here. Doesn’t add up.
It’s likelier that the rep was speaking about the Galaxy Tab 10.1 coming out with 4G tomorrow. Of course, I could be wrong. And I hope I am. The Galaxy S2 probably will come with 4G, but it’s also probable that it won’t as Verizon hasn’t even put it in some of their flagships.
Take this with a grain of salt until we can get independent confirmation from someone within Verizon. In the meantime, let us know if you think this rep is mistaken or if they just jumped the gun a bit and might be on the verge of losing their job soon. [AndroidForums.com]
[Update]: And just like that, the statement was corrected. They were talking about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Let’s move along now.
