- Galaxy Nexus coming to Sprint’s LTE network? This ad says so.
See that? That’s a Galaxy Nexus… for Sprint. The Android 4.0 handset — only available in an unlocked HSPA+ form and on Verizon Wireless‘ airwaves today — is currently being pimped in an official Sprint ad over on CNET, and it’s probably no coincidence that it’s live just moments after CEO Dan Hesse talked up the carrier’s first LTE markets. Crazily enough, we had a similar situation a few years back at CES, where the Palm Pre actually emerged here on our own ads prior to the handset being properly revealed. We’ve reached out to Sprint and will be updating this post as we learn more, but here’s what’s true should the ad prove legitimate:
We’re looking at a familiar 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, Android 4.0, a 1080p movie mode, front and rear cameras, and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. For those keeping count, that’s 300MHz more powerful than the 1.2GHz chip in the HSPA+ and VZW models. If you’re going to launch an LTE network, might as well snag a phone like this, right? Maybe. What’s strange is that the first LTE markets for Sprint won’t light up until the middle of the year, at which point the device beaming above will likely be old news. Curious, indeed.
[Thanks, James]

- Corning to show off Gorilla Glass 2 at CES 2012
Gorilla Glass is tough, real tough. And it’s got a solid reputation as a durable screen for small and large displays alike. But by no means is it perfect, and Corning has been hard at work to make the product’s sequel even better. We’re pretty dry on the details so far, but Corning SVP / GM James Steiner mentioned that his company’s positioned to meet the challenge of accommodating phones and tablets with more functionality from thinner designs. We’ll find out a lot more information about the latest version of the glass in an announcement this coming Monday at CES, so stay tuned as we find out the juicy tidbits.Continue reading Corning to show off Gorilla Glass 2 at CES 2012

Week 16 in review: All about the Galaxy Fold, OnePlus 7/7 Pro, Pixel 3a/3a XL
Welcome to your recap of the week's hottest tech stories. Week 16 of the year marked the first live encounters with the Galaxy Fold across the web (and here at GSMArena HQ) and it didn't take long for the first issues to arise. Several of the early units' displays malfunctioned and while removing the protective layer on top of the screen was the explanation for some of them, other seemingly were just defective. Samsung issued a statement that it will look into the display issues and that users are not to remove the protective layer and that this would be made clear to buyers in the...
