Four zillion new Galaxy Nexus promo videos not enough to sate your appetite for superphones? We hear ya. Google’s specifications portal just went live for Verizon’s looming LTE version of the world’s first Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone, and as expected, it is a wee bit bigger than the HSPA+ version. We heard back in Hong Kong that the LTE model will be slightly beefier — presumably to deal with a bigger battery to counter that energy-sucking LTE module — and apparently said scenario is indeed proving true. The HSPA+ build checks in at 135.5mm (h) x 67.94mm (w) x 8.94mm (d) thick, while the LTE model measures 135.5mm (h) x 67.94mm (w) x 9.47mm (d). That’s right around half a millimeter thicker for those needing specifics, and it’s likely as a result 1,850mAh battery within; if you’ll recall, the HSPA+ variant has a 1,750mAh battery. Finally, the LTE model is gaining 15 grams of weight, tipping the scales at 150g (LTE model) in place of 135g (HSPA+ model). Everything else looks to be identical, but you are able to hit the source link to fulfill any lingering curiosity.
