Maybe a slight difference in RF performance, but the specs are exactly the same as the non tri-band edition.

My first thought was "oh my God, those Samsung folks are NUTS!!"   But then, really, there are a lot of people (like my elderly mother) who could use a relatively inexpensive, yet rather capable, smartphone.  And as this would be her first smartphone, we wouldn't want to jump head first into the high end pool, especially when she barely even understands what an "app" is to begin with.  For people like her, this could possibly find a niche home.

I still have mine and it is over 2 years old and running strong on Kit Kat. I use it for podcast and one handed operation at work and my Note 3 for web browsing videos and everything else. Does anyone have an opinion on what tri-band phone has the best RF performance besides the Nexus 5 that is good for one handed use ?

My G2 and Nexus were really good RF wise, but my G3 seems to transition between 3G/B26/B25 and stay connected to LTE much better. I got decently big hands so the G3 is pretty easy one handed. The G3 also has WiFi calling.

 

The S3 will be a decent midrange device with Tri-band

I really like the way the s3 feels in my hand, and the way it looks.. The s4 and s5 aren't near as nice or beautiful in my opinion.

I'm glad it got a triband version. [emoji3]

Galaxy S4T is the best RF device I've ever used.

Does it say Spark or have anything different on the battery cover? Do you have the spinning Wal-Mart logo for LTE? thx

I think it's a great idea to have a midtier device that supports all three bands. Gets an inexpensive handset into the hands of anyone looking to sign on, with relatively low monthly installment costs.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
