@hamza:
You're basically right. They're lesser LTE models of Samsung smartphones all though flagship phones like Xperia Z1, HTC One, Most iPhones made after October 2011 like 4S, 5, 5C and 5S, Nexus 5 etc.
LTE is a flagship smartphone feature for now.
4G (LTE) is awesome technology while 3G is a bit dated now. Even for the AT&T, which is termed as the worst among all major carriers, my iphone5 consistently clock more than 20MBps download and around 10MBps upload speed in Bay area California which is amazingly fast for most of the work you can imagine of doing online.
