I was trying to dig up more information on this hardware feature and found a good article on it that I think needs to be talked about:

As it states, it allows LTE + WIFI download streams SIMULTANEOUSLY. So, if you're in range of both a 5Mbps WIFI connection -AND- a 7Mbps LTE connection, you'll be able to download at a combined 12Mbps rate, though some sort of packet-delegation.
It also stands to show that this will greatly benefit the unlimited data carriers, as it'll give you faster overall download speed, given the right circumstances.
What I'm wondering is why this isn't being more touted by Samsung? Is it because it only works with LTE? Or is everyone just obsessed with Fingerprint scanners and screen resolution?
Seems to me like a HUGE feature, especially for unlimited data carriers like Sprint and T-Mobile, for example...
