    T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

    V30 will be a very capable phone when the V50 arrives.

    I'm really waiting to see what LG does. Cuz I found the news article saying that the V 30 will be available to use on the 600 megahertz Network where available obviously

    My advice to you, Dan, is to also at least consider the Pixel XL 2, which is being made by LG. It likely will have an OLED, may also feature waterproofing and the SD836. It also will have Android Oreo at launch, unlike the V30, and of course will have 600mhz capability.

     

    The only positive advantage I see the V30 having right now is the headphone jack with built-in quad dac with MQA capability. However, there is a very good MQA-capable portable dac on the market currently, which is made by the company that invented MQA itself, Meridian, with its Explorer2 dac. I have it, and its sound quality is superior to the Quad dac by ESS.

     

    The only thing that still has me considering the V30 at all, is the uncertainty of waterproofing in the new Pixels, along with my interest in the new equalizer functions the V30 has. My new phone absolutely requires waterproofing, so I'm going to wait on the V30 until there is official word concerning this.

    But for me though the phone has to have many other things as well. It needs to have a dual camera set up. For me a dual camera module built into the phone is a must now a days and the LG V 30 for T-Mobile has that setup. Besides the support for the 600 megahertz band for T-Mobile the dual camera setup is indispensable.

    I completely agree.

     

    I don''t understand why Samsung decided to do this, whereas a few other manufacturers are having 600mhz available in theirs.

     

    I really do not like this technology-skimping business model in favor of temporary profits, meaning the way of business to squeeze every penny out of an existing outdated product, delaying the release of a much better money-making product in favor of profiting more from older existing products with sales deals marketing, etc.

     

    Yes I understand businesses need to clear out inventory and make money in the process, etc. Yet there ought to be a focus on the betterment of technology, which shouldn't be held back. This existing product approach currently is being used by nVidia, and its stalling out on Volta is absolutely infuriating!

     

    So, the neglect of adding useful technology onto something is a similar frustration, especially when it involves ignoring future technology into something that exists today, which Samsung could very well be doing to get people to buy the Note, then turn around and buy their 600mhz-capable Springtime big release, which I expect to be a convergence of the S-series and the Note.

    If you add a skimpy battery and skimp on the LTE bands necessary for better coverage and experience you will lose out on customers. Also that's why I like LG much better than Samsung because lgv30 I heard support T-Mobile 600 megahertz band. So when I'm done paying off my G6 I will be getting on lgv30 on T-Mobile for that support I will eventually need for their new band.

    Its made a difficult decision for me between the V30 and the Pixel XL2. As of the moment though, I'm leaning towards the Pixel XL2, which if its confirmed to have waterproofing, it'll win me over to it. Already the possibility of having the SD836 and definitely having Oreo are the main reasons for me.

     

    I figure it'll have Aqstic audio, which is fine by me for the Pixel XL2 not to have a dedicated dac, but I really like the enhanced equalizer on the V30bthat may or may not be on the Pixel XL2. Otherwise, Oreo is such a vast improvement over Nougat and the fast, regular updates sure are a major advantage too.

     

    Hopefully there isn't a carrier deal with the new Pixels this year, unless they are sold by all of them. Also, perhaps having two manufacturers this year, one for each Pixel model, will help improve availability.

    For me when it comes to phones like this I need the phone that has the most up-to-date LTE band set. Since the Samsung phones do not have the 600 megahertz band built onto the chipset. That's a major turnoff for me.

    Google Pixel 2 XL by LG Preview/User Thread

    Google Pixel 2 XL (Taimen), expected to be announced on Thursday, October 5, 2017.

     

    Reported specs:

    • 5.99" OLED display (manufactured by LG Display)
    • Qualcomm Snapdragon 836 processor
    • 4GB RAM
    • No 3.5mm headphone jack
    • Slim, bezel-less design, much like the LG G6
    • Dual front facing speakers
    • Squeezable frame, similar to the HTC U11
    • Android 8.1 (Oreo) OS

    I wouldn't be surprised by a dual camera setup.

    I'm extremely interested in HPUE, 4x4 MIMO, etc.

     

    I would expect Sprint to maintain their BYOD policy they have had the past several years.

    I've been saving since purchasing the Nexus 6P, so I'm purchasing on announcement day (if forms holds over the past several years)

     

    Hoping for a smaller price tag than Samsung's Note 8, or at least some additional accessories thrown in like Samsung has done.

     

    Anyone else interested in this device?

    what about band 71 support

    I've had every Nexus device since the Galaxy Nexus. However, Pixel's pricing priced me out. I too hope they reduce their pricing as I prefer Pure Android. Typed from my Nexus 6P with a cracked screen...

    i also prefer pure android as well with no bloat ware and no locked bootloaders and nothing holding them back from software upgrades

     

    I love my 6P, I think it will make it another cycle for me, I don't think I'll be in the market for a smart phone until the Pixel 3

    B71 still has to be officially approved by the 3GPP next month so that it can be added to smartphones.

     

    Its a good start i guess but the 600 MHz LTE deployment available now is nothing to really rave about. The major metros wont be seeing 600 MHz LTE until 2019.

    Again, the LTE roaming bit is obviously meant as a replacement for 1x roaming. So it's a net improvement.

     

    FPop doesn't roam AFAIK. It's either ATT native (I have the SIM kit, not the older Sprint based service) or nothing.

    Well it is an improvement. I can't wait for the day all networks in the u.s. provide equal LTE roaming for each other. I have a pixel XL as well I just can't get a SIM card for mine.
