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. To date, most of the

high end, high cost devices. The Fusion brings the LTE experience
to broader socio-economic groups and successfully delivers design,
performance and value."
