With the standard battery attached, the device looks roughly the same as older MiFis with the extended battery, it's quite a bit fatter. Our 4620L came with two batteries and battery covers, which is twice as many as the 4510L: a standard battery rated at 1,500mAh and an extended one rated at 3,000mAh.

The company has now told us that the extended battery will be available later for a yet-to-be-announced price. We've updated the score to reflect the battery life of the included standard battery. Update: After calling Verizon stores, it appears that retail units of the 4620L do not include the extended battery that Novatel Wireless provided with our review unit. Let’s have a quick look at what this refreshed version of the 4510L is all about. Well, it turns out that Verizon’ Novatel Wireless-sourced Jetpack 4620L actually does have a better display - but that’s only part of the story.

But really, what is there to iterate? Last year’s Verizon hotspots already had LTE support these aren’t like smartphones where displays and processors are getting better every few months. That’s why companies like Novatel Wireless and Sierra Wireless keep iterating on the mobile hotspot concept, and that’s also why carriers like AT&T and Verizon keep adding them to their lineups. If you’re out in the sticks without access to Wi-Fi and you’ve got a laptop or two (and perhaps a tablet) that need access to the internet, there’s just no substitute. Most smartphones have since added hotspot functionality as a standard software feature, but it’s not quite the same - a dedicated, pocketable hotspot doesn’t drain your phone’s all-important battery. Over the last several years, mobile hotspots have gone from science fiction, to luxury, to must-have accessory for many business travelers.
