Note 3 to have lte-A and global lte in the USA model?

[cnotes2019]

Just curious to know if the note 3 US models will utilize Qualcomms rf360 chip for global lte support? Will our models employ lte-A? I know even if it does have the rf360 it can still be blocked by carriers but maybe it's also possible to unblock it . And I know carriers are still beginning lte-A it's nice to future proof it so to speak ! What do y'all think or know about it? Thanks !

Do any of the US networks support LTE-A? I'm not really sure, as there are very few global networks that support that (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did.

I didn't say they did but they will soon enough (2014?). But more importantly I just want a phone that's truly lte global because I travel somewhat

Does the global LTE model have all the bands for AT&T and/or T-Mo LTE? If I remember right the S4 didn't.

Yes it should. The snapdragon 800 supports all global LTE bands. GSM and CDMA LTE bands.

Sprint has LTE-A that will be going up byt the end of the year. Their 800mHz band works on their new hotspot that is made by Netgear (and is the nicest hotspot I've ever seen, set up, or used).

Sprint has lots of free spectrum now that Nextel is gone off the air. Plus with SoftBank's money they should be able to build out a lot faster. In time they will gain more market share and hopefully take on the big two.
