Verizon plans “special announcement” for May 22nd — what is it?
Verizon has been a bit quiet on the events front as of late, but the company has just issued invites to a press event taking place May 22nd at CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas. It’s been tough to get a reading on Big Red’s roadmap for 2013, with the only device we know for sure heading to the carrier sometime soon being the Samsung Galaxy S4 (a review of which we’ll have on your plate soon enough).
Verizon’s Galaxy S4 release date has long been rumored for the end of May, and if that holds true then this event could be the coming out party for its version. There’s no concrete evidence to suggest that’s what Verizon will be showing off, though, so we’ll have to wait for official announcements or rely on leaks and clues if we want in on the big secret ahead of this event.
It could be anything, from the future of the company’s vast 4G LTE network to an announcement that it’ll update rate plans in a way that’s actually beneficial to most customers for a change. That last one is a bit of a pipe dream, but that’s the beautiful thing about dreaming — anyone can do it, and it can be about anything. What do you think or hope Verizon has to show us around this time next month? Be sure to circle your calendar and make a note to return to Phandroid on that date as you can be sure we’ll be covering it live!
