3 min readBy Rob Boggan
At CTIA HTC and Verizon took the wraps off the upcoming Droid Incredible 4G LTE. While not as powerful as it HTC One series predecessors, the Droid Incredible 4G will fit into a lovely little niche for those looking for a powerful, yet very pocket-able smartphone. With both Android and Sense 4.0 on board, users can expect to have the latest software available, along with enhanced hardware to match. Rocking HTC’s new camera software, 8GB of onboard storage, microSD storage (up to 32GB), and a dual core 1.2 GHz S4 snapdragon processor, the Droid Incredible 4G is definitely no slouch. The release date has yet to be revealed, but we would put this bad devil right around June 1st, and most likely at the $199 price point.
Any current Droid Incredible owners excited about the refresh? Plan on picking one up? Let us know in the comments! Full press release below.
