The latest comes from the Times of India that reveal that Samsung is working on a RS 5,500 ($100) contract free 4G LTE smartphone for Reliance Communications in India.

Right now Samsung is already offering contract free 3G phones in India for $100, so this would be the first 4G LTE offering.\u00a0No word on the OS, but we assume it will be Android in favor of Windows Phone 8.<\/p>\n<p>Reliance&#8217;s new LTE network, of which Samsung will assist with, has a planned soft launch in\u00a0Mumbai and Delhi by the middle of the year.
