SAN DIEGO, March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) today announced the availability of its new verykool® Fusion SL4500 – a budget 4G LTE 4.5-inch smartphone equipped with multiple LTE bands optimized to run on every major U.S. GSM carrier.
"We are excited to be able to deliver a fast 4G LTE model with 3 LTE bands complete with a Snapdragon 1.2GHz Quad-Core processor and 8-megapixel dual-LED flash with front-facing camera at an affordable price," said Joseph Ram, InfoSonics president and chief executive officer. "Fusion keeps InfoSonics at the forefront of providing operators, retailers and consumers with full-featured phones at great value price points. The idea behind this product is to create an offering that can help operators with the migration from 3G to LTE.
