Casio G'z0ne Commando Reboots With 4G LTE

The Casio G'z0ne Commando has been a rather quiet option on Verizon's network, but for those wanting a rugged and tough smartphone on Big Red's network, the Commando is a very safe bet. It's even a better option now because a new version of the phone was seen making its way through the FCC, equipped with Verizon's blazingly-fast 4G LTE.

Formally called the Casio G'z0ne Commando 811, the new handset comes with an all-new look on top of the brand new LTE chip. Of course, it's not the most beautiful phone to look at, but if it's protection from rain, dust, drops, etc. that you're looking for. the Commando 811 may be the phone for you.

It's very similar to our recently-reviewed Kyocera Torque, only this newer version is getting a bigger screen, a front-facing camera, and possibly an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean based on the new navigation-key arrangement at the bottom of the device. And of course, it's got the black and red color scheme that Verizon is notorious for on its Android handsets.

Nothing is official yet, but we should be hearing from Verizon and Casio with an official announcement sometime soon. It just cleared from the FCC, so it should only be a matter of time before those that need a viable option for a rugged smartphone equipped with LTE will be able to grab the Commando 811 from Big Red.
