LG Unveils Nitro 4G LTE Smartphone

AT&T added a third 4G LTE Android Smartphone to its lineup, the LG Nitro 4G LTE for 12,854 with a two-year contract. The Nitro has a 4.5inch True HD Advanced High-Performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS) display, runs Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, and is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor.



AT&T's first Smartphone is also equipped with 500 nits (candelas per square meter) display luminance, providing clear viewing in direct sunlight. Red, green and blue stripe pixels offer accurate, true-to-life color rendering. Any device fitted with an HD resolution supporting resolutions up to 1280-by-720 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio should be ideal for viewing movies, TV shows and other multimedia content, such as games. The LG Nitro supports Zynga Poker HD, as well as HD titles from the Gameloft HD game store.


The Nitro is also graced with an 8 megapixel HD camera and 20GB of memory, including 4GB and 16GB via a microSD that comes in the box. Wi-Fi Direct technology and DLNA allow Nitro owners to tap wireless HD content streaming options, allowing users to share HD content.


The carrier's 4G LTE network, which is vying for market share versus Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network, Sprint's 4G WiMax and T-Mobile's 4G network,  is currently available in 15 markets and provides speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. AT&T enables 4G using HSPA+ and LTE technologies.
