Sprint employee training material for the Galaxy Nexus leaked today suggesting the possibility of it launching before Sprint’s 4G LTE network. According to the training docs, the Sprint Galaxy Nexus will have 4G LTE switched off by default. It makes sense to have LTE switched off if you don’t yet have a network to support it, but it could also be to avoid having users in non-LTE markets (which will be many) from experiencing adverse battery drain — as the material suggests.

There’s no question mobile cameras have advanced tremendously over the years and they’ve even become a main feature focus for many consumers and manufacturers. One such example is the hype over the HTC One X camera. HTC has made a pretty big deal over their new ImageSense software as well as the custom ImageChip, f/2.0 lens, HDR technology, and super fast capture. We’ve seen a few sample photos, some good, some bad, but what about some real world tests against a couple device also known for their camera prowess?
