Why just have CCA bands when you can have all the LTE bands in the USA and 3x Carrier Aggregation to boot!   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-405-teaser-samsung-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-one-of-

Here you go.  I will be posting a comparison between my S6 Edge, Note 5 and the new S7E.  S7E is not much better than the Note 5 in terms of RF.   http://imgur.com/a/YsCTz

Since it has all the bands Samsung should sell an unlocked version compatible with all carriers like the Nexus phones and Moto X Pure Edition.

The only rumor left is when will Sprint let us place orders and are they part of the Gear VR promo?

According to the Sprint Newsroom, pre-orders start February 23rd, and if you order by March 18, you get the VR.

I'm curious to see how this Buy One Get One 1/2 Off will do for Galaxy Flagship sales at Sprint.

I'd think it ideal for couples on non corporate plans where their phone tastes are the same.

According to the Samsung Galaxy landing page on Sprint.com, the microSD slot is capable of using up to a 2TB microSD card? That sounds odd.

The 2TB has been common on the last few LG phones.

On the Sprint page it says 200GB. I wonder if this is for future proofing the phone.

Does the $10 loyalty credit apply with Galaxy Forever for people on legacy plans? I don't see it mentioned in the press release.

Can you do Sprint leasing program if your on a Framily plan?

Yes, definitely. I have been leasing an S6 on a Framily plan since April 2015. For some reason, there has never been a charge on my bill for the phone.

I'll probably pre-order the Galaxy S7 Edge.

 

 

 

But if the FCC RF reports that the S7 gets better signal, I might switch to that.

 

I doubt it though.  The S7 Edge should have less interference with no metal in the display and better antenna diversity.

Thanks! Didn't see it in that link. I thought it was only coming in one size 32gb.

Yeah I read there is only 1 size, the 32GB model. I think 64GB in this context is the size of the included SD card.

It'd sure be nice to know.  I'd wait a bit if there is a 64gb or even a 128gb version coming.

Why they wouldn't release it immediately is beyond me.

 

Sammie's website has a couple 32gb black/gold versions up for TMO and ATT

Android central says only 32gb.

 

 

Which is perplexing since supposedly it will not support "SD as internal storage".

 

(Mostly because if you eject the SIM/SD Card while the phone is turned on, you could corrupt the SD card since it will be encrypted as internal storage).

 

 

But software likely isn't final, so who knows what will ship.

 

 

I assume modders will hack it back in, but I'm not sure I want to give up Samsung Pay.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By RedSpark · Posted

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....

      Welcome back! That's similar to my best (1250ish). A few people have broken 2000 on good sites.

      I’m surprised they’re running a 5x5 Band 66 carrier still. In NYC T-Mobile has 25x25 AWS and they’re running 20x20 Band 66 and 5x5 n66 (in testing). Presumably when n66 commercially launches they’ll drop Band 66 down to 15x15 and go straight for a 10x10 n66 carrier like they did with n25.

      Austin has now narrowed B2 to 15x15 to support a second 10x10 n25 channel, this time entirely in PCS A-F. So T-Mobile now has 35x35 FD (n71 + n25) and 180 MHz TD (n41) NR live here, and LTE single carrier bandwidth now tops out at 15x15. LTE is down to 5x5 B12, 15x15 B2, 10x10+10x10+5x5 B66, so they now have 5 carriers each of LTE and NR, with 45x45 total LTE.
