Brazil has launched its new 4G wireless network across parts of the country, but there are less than a dozen smartphones on the market that are able to hook up to the super-fast network.

Only a handful of devices, from BlackBerry, Samsung, LG and Sony, are able to connect to the new 4G network due to an incompatibility with the frequency of the wireless spectrum.
Even Apple’s iPhone 5, which is on sale in the country, will not connect to the 4G network because it isn’t compatible with the 2.5GHz frequency used by the 4G network.
