Samsung has announced a new variant of the Note 4, powered by a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor.
The new phablet is LTE-A enabled. And why is this different than LTE?
Simple, the LTE-A Tri-Band is four times faster than regular 4G networks, which means that thee Galaxy Note 4 LTE-A is capable of of downloading at a jaw dropping 300 Mbps.
Samsung says that it can download a 700MB video in about 19 seconds. It also says that next year, telecom companies will provide LTE-A Category 9 with download speeds of up to 450 Mbps, and that the Note 4 LTE-A will support the network.
Apart from the change in the processor and the networking component, the rest of the internals remain the same as the original Note 4.
