NTT DoCoMo’s summer mobile lineup is all about battery life, colors and LTE
While the semi-annual parade of new smartphone models at NTT DoCoMo often reveals some unexpected devices, this summer it had a bumper crop: we’ve already seen the new Sony Xperia A, Sharp’s Aquos Phone Zeta and Aquos Pad SH-08E plus a Galaxy S4 in “arctic blue.” Seven more phones round out the lineup and NTT DoCoMo is trumpeting 2,100 mAh minimum batteries, LTE, NFC and quad-core processors for the entire gamut. Other standout models include Fujitsu’s 5.2-inch, 1080P Arrows NX F-06E, a model with a 16-megapixel camera you’ll likely never see stateside, Panasonic’s Eluga V P-06D with a 4.7-inch 1080P screen and a whopping 2,600 mAh battery, and Disney Mobile’s F-07D, which should be an endurance wonder with a 720P screen and 2,600mAh cell. Naturally, there’s a rainbow of new hues for most of the models, which will roll out over the summer in Japan — click the source link PDF for detailed specs or check the PR after the jump.

Samsung Prepares For Gigabit Mobile Speeds With "5G" Millimeter Wave Band Transceiver, ETA 2020
Most mobile users these days are happy to get LTE service (and a few of us just wish we could get 3G reliably) but there is already a surprising push towards the next big thing in wireless speeds. Samsung thinks it has the solution, or at least what might become one: expanding existing LTE networks into the super-high 28GHz range, the lower part of what’s known as the millimeter wave bands. The company is calling this system 5G, and expects to have it ready for cellular networks in 2020.
Any grade school science student can tell you that higher-frequency radio waves have the capacity for more data, and Samsung’s system has been tested with speeds just north of 1Gb per second, about ten times as fast as the best current LTE offerings.
- T-Mobile Gets Free Unlimited Wi-Fi Calling Starting May 11th
- [Update: Now It's Official] Samsung DROID Charge To Finally Hit VZW Shelves Tomorrow
- T-Mobile Confirms Unlimited Data Plans For Monthly4G Prepaid Service

First-Gen Nexus 7 To Get LTE-Enabled Rehash at Google I/O?
Rumors concerning Google’s possible hardware launches during this week’s I/O conference may be a dime a dozen these days, but we can still start talking about certainties. For instance, we’re pretty sure the Nexus 7, the hugely successful 7-inch tablet that was debuted during last year’s I/O, will be getting at least one follow-up by the end of the week.
And chances are the second-gen N7 will look pretty awesome, with a WUXGA display, Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and below $200 price point. But what about the first-gen tab? Will that just be left to dust and forgotten completely in a matter of months?
Probably yes, but maybe not. Because apparently there could be a rehash planned too, with basically the same old specs, plus 4G LTE connectivity. There are a lot of “maybes”, “probablys” and “apparentlys” there, so you can imagine there’s no solid proof behind the existence of a Nexus 7 LTE.
But a tab dubbed exactly that has been spotted in AnTuTu’s database. Plus, wouldn’t it kind of make sense for Google to keep milking the cash cow this slate has proven to be for a little longer? Not to mention I’m fairly certain there would be a lot of potential adopters if this LTE variant would be priced at $200, so likely on-par with the non-LTE second-gen N7.
Only don’t be rooting for the LTE rehash to come with any other upgrades. It’s even listed as running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in AnTuTu, so if 4.3 exists and will be introduced during I/O, chances are the N7 LTE will not come with the new OS on board, but rather get updated soon after its launch.
As for all the other specs, the benchmark score (12,623 points, which is very close to the current Nexus 7’s results) hints at the tab coming with the same old quad-core 1.2 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU and 1 GB of RAM. Plus, you know, all the usual, including the 4,325 mAh battery, 1.2 MP camera, 1,280 x 800 pix res display and 16 or 32 GB of storage. Anyone possibly interested? Why? Why not?

AT&T plans to launch Voice-Over-LTE (VoLTE) service this year
As AT&T brings more LTE coverage to more markets, they plan to roll out support for voice-over-LTE, or VoLTE, to select markets by the end of the year. VoLTE will use AT&T’s LTE towers to convert conversations into data packets over an IP network, allowing for not just higher quality calls but also video calling and enhanced messaging services.
AT&T currently has LTE coverage in 212 markets and expects to cover 90% of the country by the end of the year. Calls over the standard UMTS network will still be available when VoLTE is not, or if a device does not support it. It should be noted that these calls will use data, and probably not a small amount. For customers on shared data plans, this could potentially force you into a higher data bracket.
Unfortunately current hardware is still not quite fit for VoLTE, which causes the CPU to heat up and the battery to drain. However it is inevitable that we will see more development from manufacturers in that field before AT&T starts rolling out the service nationwide.
While there’s no word on where VoLTE will launch first, its safe to assume it will be in AT&T’s biggest markets. AT&T CEO Bill Smith has hinted that this will be left to the marketing department to decide.

AT&T details the latest 4G LTE expansions
Coming just a few days after the previous expansion, AT&T has announced the latest for the 4G LTE network rollout. The last time around brought good news for those in select cities of Kansas, Missouri and Texas and as of today it looks like new and expanded coverage has arrived for those in seven states as well as in Puerto Rico.
Those seven states include Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and West Virginia. Starting first with the coverage for Alabama, here we are seeing coverage as having been added for Monroeville and Evergreen. Coverage for Kentucky includes Frankfort and the coverage for Michigan includes Saginaw and Bay City.
The newly added coverage in Tennessee is for those in Cookeville and McMinnville. The LTE coverage for those in Texas now includes Beeville. The remaining coverage included in this round is for those in Aberdeen, Washington; Ashland and Huntington, West Virginia and Vieques, Puerto Rico.
Bottom line here, this is just another round of LTE expansions from AT&T. Perhaps the more interesting bit is how these updates seem to be coming on a fairly regular basis. By that, we have been seeing a few updates per month and as previously mentioned, the last came just a few days back. Anyway, those in any of these locations may want to head out and begin taking advantage of these newly increased speeds.
AT&T Flips On 4G LTE In 16 New Markets This Week
AT&T continues to pursue an aggressive 4G LTE rollout strategy, activating towers in Missouri, Texas, and North Carolina over the past couple of days for a total of 16 new markets. It’s all part of the carrier’s larger plan to reach 250 million Americans with LTE coverage by the end of this year. AT&T’s LTE network currently covers almost 200 million.
Here’s a list of cities graced with AT&T’s fastest this week:

Sony Xperia SP up for pre-order in the U.S.
Sony's latest mid-ranger to sell for $489.99 unlocked
Hot on the heels of the Xperia Z, Sony's new mid-range offering, the Xperia SP, has also appeared for pre-order on the company's U.S.-based online store. The Xperia SP packs a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU with Adreno 320 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB internal storage and an 8-megapixel Exmor RS rear camera. On the front is a 720p Sony 'HD Reality Display.' Like its high-end siblings, the SP's internal storage is expandable via microSD card.
The Xperia SP also sports a unique aluminum-frames design and a large, illuminated transparent element under the screen.
Bizarrely, Sony's spec listing for the North American Xperia SP shows support for HSPA+ on 850, 900, 1900 and 2100MHz bands, as well as LTE bands I, II, IV and V. If those specs are accurate, they'd point to an incomplete set of frequencies for both AT&T and T-Mobile. On AT&T you'll get full HSPA+ coverage but no LTE; on T-Mo you're looking at LTE, but no 1700MHz HSPA+ support.
The unlocked U.S. Xperia SP variant (C5306) is due to begin shipping from May 20, priced at a not insubstantial $489.99.

AT&T Beam is a USB 4G LTE Modem with LCD display
AT&T has come up with a new product, the Beam, a wireless 4G LTE USB dongle from Sierra Wireless. It is being said that this product has been primarily developed for people in the business domain, but I am pretty sure anyone who would need a high speed internet connection on the go would prefer this. The device “offers the usual LTE domestically (700/AWS) along with tri-band HSPA+ (850/1900/2100) and quad-band GSM / EDGE.”
But the attraction here, as most people would agree, is the built in 96×64 monochrome LCD display. The display gives the usual data such as the signal strength, the amount of data used, and other stats. The device also comes with a GPS module built in, and a microSD card reader which supports cards up to 32 GB. The device is designed to work with the new Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets and laptops.

AT&T Beam is a USB LTE modem with built-in LCD, due May 10th for $20
With the onset of MiFis, smartphone hotspots and other methods of tethering your computer to the ‘net, USB modems aren’t exactly the most popular devices on the block anymore. It doesn’t mean they’re not desirable to business folk, however, so most carriers keep at least one or two in their lineup. AT&T just introduced the Beam, its latest dongle from Sierra Wireless, which offers the usual LTE domestically (700/AWS) along with tri-band HSPA+ (850/1900/2100) and quad-band GSM / EDGE.
The key feature here is its built-in 96×64 black-and-white LCD panel, which displays signal strength, data usage and other stats. Finally, it offers mobile hotspot capability, GPS and microSD card support (up to 32GB), and will work on Win 8 / RT laptops and tablets. Dimension-wise, it weighs 1.91 ounces and measures a stout 1.97 x 2.58 x 0.46 inches (50 x 65.5 x 11.7mm). If that fits your purposes, the Beam can be all yours starting May 10th for $20 and a two-year commitment.

Sony Xperia Z Now Available At Sony US Online Store
Sony’s latest flagship smartphone model has finally hit US shores via its online store. The Sony Xperia Z is now available unlocked at the Sony online store with a listed price of $629.99. The variant for sale is the 3G HSPA+ (C6602) model and not the LTE (C6606) model. The LTE model might not be sold through this channel as it is going to be exclusively carried by T-Mobile.
The Sony Xperia Z is not to be confused with the Sony Xperia ZL. While both devices sport the same 5 inch display and other similar feature they differ primarily in the type of material used. The Xperia Z uses a glass material for its back while the Xperia ZL has a plastic chassis.
Sony Xperia Z Technical Specifications
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support; 3G with HSPA
- 5 inch 16M-color 1080p capacitive touchscreen, 441ppi pixel density, Bravia Mobile Engine 2

- Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset
- Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU
- Adreno 320 GPU
- 2 GB RAM
- 16 GB of built-in storage, microSD card slot

Customers who wish to purchase the device have three colors to choose from which are black, white and purple. Shipping is free and you’ll also earn 630 rewards points which you can use towards any other product on the Sony site.
If the $630 price tag is a little bit too high then you might want to wait for this device to be offered by network carriers. The price will be much lower since it will be subsidized but then you’ll be tied down to a two year plan and your device will be locked to the network.
If you are after LTE support then you might want to check out the Sony Xperia ZL which the now has a reduced price of $629.99 down from $759.99.

Sony has finally given US customers the chance to get their hands on the unlocked version of the dustproof and waterproof Xperia Z through Sony’s web store. It’ll run you $629.99, but that’s about average for an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, though, there’s no LTE on board like the Xperia ZL, but you will be able to use the phone on AT&T and T-Mobile’s HSPA+ networks.

AT&T 4G LTE expands in Kansas, Missouri and Texas
AT&T has announced their latest 4G LTE expansion. While this roll-out doesn’t include as many markets as the last go around, there is probably something to be said for the timing as this update has arrived less than a week after the last. This latest bit is dealing with five markets across Kansas, Missouri and Texas.
Specifically, AT&T 4G LTE coverage has arrived for those in Manhattan, Kansas as well as Sedalia and Warrensburg, Missouri. The Texas coverage is for those in Jacksonville and Palestine. Basically, it looks like those in any of these five markets may want to start considering an LTE capable device when they next upgrade their handset.
As for LTE capable smartphones, AT&T has recently released a few to include the LG Optimus G Pro as well as the Samsung GALAXY S 4 and HTC One. Those looking for a bit more information on any of those devices may benefit from some of our recent coverage, which included some hands-on time with the Optimus G Pro.
The Optimus G Pro is the most recent of that bunch and the carrier began accepting pre-orders for the handset last week. Alternatively, if you are already sporting an LTE capable device, now seems like as good a time as any to head out and begin taking advantage of those newly increased speeds.

This latest bit is dealing with five markets across Kansas, Missouri and Texas.
Specifically, AT&T 4G LTE coverage has arrived for those in Manhattan, Kansas as well as Sedalia and Warrensburg, Missouri. The Texas coverage is for those in Jacksonville and Palestine. Basically, it looks like those in any of these five markets may want to start considering an LTE capable device when they next upgrade their handset.
As for LTE capable smartphones, AT&T has recently released a few to include the LG Optimus G Pro as well as the Samsung GALAXY S 4 and HTC One. Those looking for a bit more information on any of those devices may benefit from some of our recent coverage, which included some hands-on time with the Optimus G Pro.
The Optimus G Pro is the most recent of that bunch and the carrier began accepting pre-orders for the handset last week. Alternatively, if you are already sporting an LTE capable device, now seems like as good a time as any to head out and begin taking advantage of those newly increased speeds.

Sony finally puts up Xperia Z for sale on US site
Sony has finally given US customers the chance to get their hands on the unlocked version of the dustproof and waterproof Xperia Z through Sony’s web store. It’ll run you $629.99, but that’s about average for an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, though, there’s no LTE on board like the Xperia ZL, but you will be able to use the phone on AT&T and T-Mobile’s HSPA+ networks. If you have to hold out for LTE, you may want to wait for T-Mobile’s rumored LTE version. If you’re ready to open your wallet, hit the link below.
