Nexus 4's LTE Chip

[zkSharks]

Reported recently by Ars Technica and picked up by Gizmodo. Check out iFixit's teardown of the N4, specifically Step 17. It shows the Qualcomm WTR1605L, a seven-band LTE chip (FCC document).

Teal-colored, towards the top-left of the board.

Didn't see this posted up here, so I thought I'd take the opportunity. Shoutout to NJAP for pointing out that the power requirements and antennas aren't present, but that doesn't necessarily mean the chip is irrelevant in other ways.

The LTE portion is irrelevant, we've covered this already and its on the main page of the site. Lock em up mods.

Already been discussed.

No LTE antenna, no power amplifier, not going to happen.

On a side note....if you feel that the moderator team needs to take a look at a thread please use the report post feature.

But yes, this has been covered already.
