Clues point to a possible HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE release in the immediate future

Posted: 02 Jun 2012 09:33 PM PDT

With the news of the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE coming to Verizon a few weeks ago, many anxious HTC One series admirers on Big Red have been patiently waiting for any more details to surface as to price, release date, etc. There’s still no official word from Verizon on the subject but some internal sources have found a couple of clues that point to a possible launch as soon as later this week.

The first sign of a close release date comes from the DROID Inc 4G LTE showing up in Verizon’s TestMan site, which often occurs when a phone is near release. The price displayed for the phone shows $299 with contract but it’s speculated that this is merely a placeholder and not the actual price. Other information uncovered confirmed that the phone will indeed come with a $50 MIR (mail-in-rebate) as was reported earlier and that this rebate would go into effect sometime later this coming week.

Again, there’s no official statement from HTC or Verizon on the matter so we’ll just have to be patient a little longer.

Sprint and Verizon Galaxy S III pay a visit to the FCC

Posted: 02 Jun 2012 09:04 PM PDT

With last week’s news about T-Mobile‘s GSIII scheduled for a June 20 release, the FCC now has also received filings for Sprint and Verizon‘s GSIII variants. Not much is disclosed about either model at this time but many of us hope to see 2 GB of RAM a la the Canadian GSIII, which in my opinion is a “sorry you aren’t getting quad-core” move from Sammy. We also know that a spotting at the FCC means that availability is just around the corner!

Galaxy S III dissected and put under the microscope

Posted: 02 Jun 2012 08:25 PM PDT

Most of us Android users care a lot about what’s under the hood of the latest smartphones. Everything from the processor make and clock speed, amount of ROM and RAM available along with the other hardware bits such as GPU, memory card slot and notification LED. However, it’s not too often that we actually get to take a peek at the actual innards of our smartphones.

The folks over at iFixit have done just that with the Samsung Galaxy S III and have provided pics of the mother board, front and back housing and even the camera. It’s a fairly light read with plenty of pics and is quite interesting if you’re into how things work and all. Keep in mind that this is the international version of the GSIII so definitely expect the setup to change when the U.S. variants hit the shelves in the near future. Hit the link below to check it out.
