The latest news is that of LG Connect 4G. The phone is expected to be a 4G LTE device. Some pictures have been leaked and it shows a very simple device. The design won’t stand out when compared to other contemporary mobile phone designs. Only some of the specs of the device are available as for now.

4 Inch display

WVGA NOVA display type

Dual-core processor

5 mega pixel camera in rear

Even when it is said to be a 4G LTE device, its model number MS840 seems out of place. This model number looks like of lower-end when compared to other LG phones. This invites doubts for the performance and other specs of the device.

The handset is also said to be provided under the name VS840 through Verizon. Some more leaks point out that the CDMA carrier Sprint is going to make this model its first LTE device.

This is a very good thing to see the CDMA network providers stepping on to LTE segment. So the phone can be expected to make more rounds among other CDMA carriers. There is no information regarding the release date of the device. The price of the device is also not clear. More information about LG Connect 4G MS840 can be expected in the coming days or at the very least during the Consumer electronics show.
