The smartphone also supports Google Wallet in addition to Android Beam that simplifies sharing content with other compatible gadgets.
“The first three products that will run on the Sprint 4G LTE network exemplify the cutting-edge technology our customers can expect from Sprint as we progress with our 4G LTE rollout. Galaxy Nexus packs industry-leading features and the best of Google into a beautiful design while LG Viper 4G LTE continues Sprint’s commitment to green devices that don’t sacrifice speed or technology. These products combine with our unlimited data pricing plans to give Sprint customers a powerful wireless experience,†commented Steve Elfman, president of Network, Wholesale and Product Development for Sprint.
