The Optimus G has a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display (1280 x 768), 32GB of internal storage, and runs on Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. To ensure you'll have power throughout the day, the phone has a 2,100 mAh battery.

The LG Mach is an affordable 4G LTE capable smartphone. This entry-level smartphone is said to be one of the thinnest devices (0.48-inches thick) with a QWERTY keyboard from Sprint. The Mach features a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch WVGA touch screen, and 1GB RAM.

The new  Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is the first tablet to offer connectivity to Sprint's 3G and 4G LTE network.
