Verizon today announced the Droid Incredible 4G LTE at CTIA Wireless in New Orleans. An update to HTC's popular Droid Incredible, the Incredible 4G LTE adds support for Verizon's 4G LTE network, along with Beats Audio support and advanced camera capabilities.
Eschewing the trend that bigger is better, the Droid Incredible 4G LTE features a manageable, 4-inch super LCD qHD display. The phone is powered by a 1.2-GHz, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. There's no word yet on internal storage capacity, but the Incredible will feature a microSD card slot with support for cards up to 32GB. There's also a 1700mAh removable battery and NFC support.
Like most new HTC phones, a lot of noise is being made about the Incredible's camera. There's an 8-megapixel, rear-facing camera with autofocus, LED flash, BSI, f/2.2 and 28 mm lens. HTC Video Pic allows you to shoot HD video and capture photos at the same time. There's also a front-facing camera for video chat, though no additional information about it is currently available.
Additionally, the phone features support for Beats Audio, which is enabled for all audio listened to over the phone, including music, games, and streaming video. According to HTC, Beats allows for enhanced bass, elevated midrange, and crisp highs.
A release date and price have not yet been announced, but Verizon says to expect the Incredible 4G LTE "in the coming weeks." PCMag's lead mobile analyst, Sascha Segan, is at CTIA, and should get some hands on time with the device, so check back soon for his impressions and lots of photos.
