Samsung Mobile is collaborating with Verizon Wireless to help accelerate and revolutionize consumer electronics to deliver richer, more powerful user experiences through LTE technology. As part of Verizon Wireless’ LTE Innovation Center demonstrations, Samsung Mobile is showcasing new and emerging products, including digital picture frames, Mobile Internet Devices (MID) and digital cameras, which utilize practical applications through a connected multimedia ecosystem.

Samsung’s LTE Media Frame is an example of expanding the LTE ecosystem into other consumer electronic devices such as MIDs, digital cameras, online galleries, social networking sites and more. . Samsung’s LTE Media frame has a high-resolution, 10” display with touch screen, multimedia (music, photo, video) capabilities and an ultra-slim design. Samsung’s digital camera is capable of HD 720p quality video at 30 frames per second and includes a large touch screen LCD display. Through an LTE-connected multimedia ecosystem, users would simply upload the pictures and videos over the LTE network to the picture frame or online social networking sites.
