Sprint's first LTE device could be the Galaxy Nexus with a 1.5GHz processor 3

You have to love when ads leak. This one is from Sprint and it shows off the Galaxy Nexus as their first 4G LTE phone. It showed up on the CNET website shortly after Dan Hesse tweeted that Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio would be the first LTE markets for Sprint by mid-year.

There's another twist though. One of the ads clearly states that it has a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. If you remember, this was supposedly the original plan for the Galaxy Nexus, but they went with a 1.2GHz dual-core instead due to a delay in the TI OMAP 1.5GHz chip. This sounds very plausible now as Sprint probably won't release their version until later in the year.

Hopefully we will get our hands on this bad boy next week at Sprint's special event during CES. We will certainly let you know more as soon as we hear it.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

I would get it now, but not in 6 months or whatever when it comes out. there will be tons of better phones by then.

That’s great news. Now I know for sure that I will keep my trusted EVO 4G until later this year. By the time LTE is in my market the GN will be rooted (if it isn’t already,lol) :-)
