We weren’t kidding about that influx of FCC filings: the Verizon edition of Samsung’s Galaxy S 4, the SCH-i545, has passed through the US regulator’s approval right on cue. The device on display ticks all the checkboxes we’d expect, including LTE on both Verizon’s main 700MHz band and the carrier’s recently acquired AWS frequencies. We also notice HSPA-based 3G, which suggests Big Red’s GS4 won’t be a paperweight when abroad. The filing just leaves AT&T and T-Mobile as the major stragglers in the US; at the current rate, though, they’ll have little trouble getting clearance before they have to fulfill any future orders.
