Nickel Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 The Sprint S4 tri-band is as real as leprechauns but for some reason tons of people have been swearing for months it's coming any day........ Meanwhile there are several phones about to come out that will be real and released on Sprint that have it. Read the first post in this thread lol. 6-6-13 confirmed S4 with tri-band huh.

mc_gusto Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Since it's 850 lte. Imagine if they released only a Sprint dual band. Only 800 and 1900 lte. Would anyone pick it up? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_gusto Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Triband my man. It'll be worth it. I know Triband would be worth it. I'm just thinking s4 may never see Triband status at this point. But I could see an s4 dual band being released if it was already in the works. Since this one is 850 maybe they already had plans for an 800 (without 2600).

supersanborn Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Tr-band only for me. I'm already leaning more towards the Note 3 vs the GS4, so unless the GS4 Tri-band Superspeed Unicorn Poop Edition with Google happens to exist, I'll probably just grab the Note 3. Unless the case is made out of butter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukin1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Galaxy note 2 is onsale buy 1 get 1 free. Along with GS4 and the HTC one. hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We've heard from very credible sources about another Samsung Triband device coming other than the Note 3. It seems highly likely it would be the S4 Triband. Robert via Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well and the Galaxy Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's like 1% lol. But thanks for the awesome news. I can't wait, my family down in HN is holding out on the triband GS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for LTE800 with SMR800 I get -80-95 DB in my place. So I'm hoping lte800 will be the same. And yes I am getting the Note 3. Either Christmas or black Friday lol.

mc_gusto Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Its either single band or triband. No point of sprint making dual band lte phones. Sent from my Motorola Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2 Well if Samsung says "hey sprint were not making Tribands s4s but we got this dual band s4 already in production or do you want more single band s4s?" sprint should probably order a couple. I mean they are gonna be selling single band phones for awhile why not sell dual bands if it'll help. This is probably all moot but just throwing it out there.

WiWavelength Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I shit brix all the time lol Do you keep them in your sock drawer? Butthead: Check it out. It's that Kaopectate-- Beavis: Oh yeah, that stuff is terrible. It like is expensive, and tastes terrible, and it doesn't work. It says it's for diarrhea, and I drank a whole bottle, but I never got diarrhea-- Butthead: Beavis-- Beavis: Then a week later, this brick pooped out of my butt. It was all hard and black. I can show it to you if you want. Butthead: You still have it? Beavis: Sure. I keep it in my sock drawer. Butthead: Beavis, you're just joking right? Beavis: Ummmm yeah I mean ummmm no.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 But here is the problem...sprints LTE bands are very specific so unless sprint ever requested a dual band LTE gs4, which i highly doubt, there wouldnt be such device in the pipeline. Sprint was just waiting for the LTE 800 fit test results before launching triband. Sent from my Motorola Photon 4G using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they release this 850 lte version the only carrier that can use it is us cellular. Just seems like something is up their sleeves. Hopefully sept 3rd will have some answers.

It is just getting authorization for use here. AJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not asking you to confirm or deny anything, but I wonder if it's this.... http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-mega-coming-att-sprint-and-us-cellular I still don't see the point of this device since it seems to be a bigger (!)

If it was Triband, I'm pretty certain my son will get it it. It's his dream phone. Robert via Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
