If you have your mind set to switch today get the Galaxy S7 flat.

LG V20 for aural pleasure. 2nd screen is useful. Maybe Sprint will throw another promo on them.

 

S8 for a lot of everything which sadly includes the worst placed fingerprint sensor ever. And you have decided if you like the shiny, glass edges.

 

Check out the G6 too. 

 

What might make the difference on these in what specials they are offering.

I got the S7 edge because it was the only phone they had available at the store that I wanted and I'm glad to come back to Sprint cheaper service and their coverage has improved on my block someone can't wait to see the rest of the rest of the improvement

I actually played with one in Best Buy yesterday, and it's a pretty easy reach. I didn't accidentally hit the camera or anything. I even found my finger resting very near the scanner when I wasn't trying to reach it.

This kinda implies it does have it on b41.

 

"The news comes after Sprint launched two tests for gigabit-level speeds, recently reaching download speeds of 400 to 600 Mbps on its own network during a National Basketball Association Game.

 

The three main "ingredients" for these speeds will be included in the Galaxy S8: 4x4 MIMO, which uses multiple antennas to boost capacity; three-channel carrier aggregation, which allows Sprint to tap into multiple bands of spectrum for better speeds; and 256 QAM, which allows devices to transmit more information."

They didn't use the Galaxy s8 but Motorola device for a reason.

 

You kinda also gave to declare 4x4 mimo in FCC filings and they declared it only for b2/4/25/66.

His post meant that the S8 does not have 4x4 MIMO on B41.

 

The S8 does have support for 4x4 MIMO on B25.

Thank you for the clarification and answer...i am thinking of getting the s8 next week

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
