As Brian, Josh, Ian and myself prepare to head to Barcelona for this year's MWC, NVIDIA makes its first announcement before the show: the Tegra Note 7 will now be available in an LTE version.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The Tegra Note 7 LTE keeps the same 7-inch Tegra 4 based platform as the original Tegra Note 7 while adding NVIDIA's own i500 LTE modem. The addition of the i500 brings the Note 7's MSRP up by $100 to $299. The WiFi-only version will continue to be available at $199.</p>

NVIDIA expects the Note 7 LTE to be available through its usual partners worldwide (EVGA in the US) beginning in Q2 of this year.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
</p>
<p>
A list of supported LTE and HSPA+ bands are in the table below. NVIDIA will also offer a 3G-only version for areas without LTE:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
</p>
<p>
There are presently three Tegra Note 7 LTE SKUs listed in bold above (LTE-US, LTE-EU and 3G). The go to market SKU list hasn't been finalized yet so we could see more. Although NVIDIA only lists voice as a feature on the 3G SKU, there's nothing preventing the other two LTE SKUs from also supporting voice.&nbsp;</p>
