What is the Difference Between Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ and LTE?

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is available in two different versions: HSPA+ and LTE. The main difference between these two models is the mobile reception technology they use. Here are the key differences:

1. Mobile Reception: The HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus supports HSPA+ networks, which are faster than traditional 3G networks but slower than LTE networks. The LTE version supports LTE networks, which offer significantly faster data speeds compared to HSPA+ networks.
2. Dimensions: The LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus is slightly thicker (9.47mm) than the HSPA+ version (8.9mm). This additional thickness is due to the extra room required for the LTE chip and a larger battery.
3. Network Availability: The HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus is available internationally and on AT&T's network in the US. The LTE version is available on Verizon's network in the US.

Despite these differences, both the HSPA+ and LTE versions of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus have the same hardware and features, including a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, and Google's Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system.
