Last year, here at Techietonic we compiled a list of 4G smartphones
available on shelves of Verizon and did a succinct comparison of their highlights – the Motorola Droid Bionic is the clear winner on that duel. This year we are doing it again! Although some of the available 4G for Verizon this early of 2012 were products of 2011, we are expecting more entries will be added in this year’s long list.
From just a handful available last year, the list grows into a crowd of smartphones from different names this 2012. Our starter list is comprised of 11 phones already. Popularity maybe due to 4G LTE bandwagon – it is the new norm on mobile network connectivity – or because the company branded their 4G LTE network as the
“fastest and most reliable” in the region of America.
This years returnees include the Motorola Droid Bionic, LG Revolution, HTC Thunderbolt and Samsung Droid Charge. Notable in the list is the addition of Pantech’s entry – a good budget solution due to its low retail and contract price.
Here is the list compiled based on manufacturer and compared based on their specs highlights and prices.
