Samsung Launches New Galaxy Note 4 LTE-A, World's Fastest Smartphone

Samsung has launched an upgraded version of its three month old flagship Galaxy Note 4. The 'Galaxy Note 4 LTE A' is visually identical to Galaxy Note 4 but has got significant updates under the hood.

Galaxy Note 4 LTE A equips the cutting edge 4G connectivity that can reach speeds of up to 450Mbps. The model is being powered by Qualcomm's first premium 64-bit chipset, the 'Snapdragon 810′.

"We continue to set new challenges for the industry and push boundaries to take mobile technology to the next level and deliver the best possible customer experience," said JK Shin, Samsung's CEO and President of IT & Mobile Communications Division, with the phone's launch.

The 450Mbps speed is obtained via 'LTE-A Category 9' compliance, a standard of 4G slated to be introduced late in 2015. The phone also supports the Category 6 compliant, a standard which is currently being used by other top smartphones and can bring speed up to 300Mbps.

Galaxy Note 4 LTE A will be exclusive to South Korea when it initially hits shelves in January next year.
