Nexus 4 has LTE chip?

[KevinChaos]

Everyone's talking like they're going to use this when T-Mobile gets lte, sure there's compatibility built into the soc but there's no antenna. Most people won't get service unless they're right next to the tower. It was just cheaper to use the chip from the optimus g than to rebuild an entirely new chip for the n4

Tell that to the Canadians who are using lte just fine without being "right next to the tower".

Not sure of your source for your statement. You might want to peruse the work that Brian Klug has published at AnandTech.

Here in Canada the Nexus 4 performs similar in LTE aspects to iPhone 5. Same AWS LTE band, ping, download & upload speeds, coverage. In my experience the nexus actually seems to acquire LTE quicker and hold on a bit longer as you move into/out of LTE coverage areas. You will see the as Tmobile reforms their 3G AWS spectrum to LTE.

Antennae?!?!?!?!

Wouldn't it still need antennae in place for LTE to function?

This is what im curious about as well. I can see a reason for them having an LTE chip on the phone, simply because it may be a highly cost effective manufacturing process to just build a kinda all in one chip that you put in several phones for multiple carriers. Perhaps google didnt want carriers to feel like they secretly duped them. Can anyone verify if the G Nex 4 can actually transmit and receive LTE bands, On my defy i had cyanogenmod 7 and a baseband switcher, Theoretically if there was one made specifically for the G Nex 4 and the multi band chip we know for sure its packing, then someone could test its ability to use LTE.... this would be the most epic phone suprise ever.
I WILL START FUNDING THIS PROJECT THIS MONTH IF ANYONE THINGS THEY CAN HELP DO THIS HIT ME UP.

Well it's working now, and there's a power amplifier and the whole antenna shebang on the N4, including the supporting and attendant software running in the baseband. The only reason it wouldn't work is if google pushes out an android update to the phones to disable it, which they haven't done yet.

Do you think it will work even in Germany with T-Mobile? Kinda noob question, I'm sorry.
