Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread aka Sprint Spark

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

Curious as to why you think the G2 is a bust, but you're looking forward to the Nexus 5 when all indications are that they are very similar phones (with the exception of vanilla Android).

nexus has microSD if i recall and nexus has bigger built in battery, which is my two biggest beefs with the G2 Sprint i bet will get a 16GB version with no expansion and that will be a useless phone.

maybe i am mistaken and i will be equally disappointed in the nexus -_- two things decent storage or have expandable, and big battery or removable :/

G2: 3000 mAh battery Nexus 5: 2300 mAh battery
All US G2 models have 32GB of storage. Not expandable.
Not sure if the Nexus 5's battery is removeable or not.

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

There was an article saying there are two models the 16GB has 2300 and the 32GB has 3200 or something mah

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

nexus has microSD

Has a Nexus ever had a microSD? I don't think so, Google thinks they are useless.

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

Nexus will not have expandable storage. Google has stood firm on that.

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

yea ignore the microsd part lol i am confused i guess but what about the two different battery sizes? some site had that. I can try find it again if needed.

Nothing is final until you hear it from Google. It's really that simple.

Right now it's all speculation..

I thought clearwire was 2500 not 2600? Also how much of a difference is 1900 compared to 2500/2600?

Also what is the FDD and TDD?

off i also thought reports said the max was upgraded to SD 800 :/

Also when does it get released? Also sweet it does have microSD This might be the phone. Seems to beat the G2 and nexus...granted no fan of HTC but Note 3 isn't an options :'(

With 160 mhz of spectrum to use it starts in the 2500 block and moves to the 2600 block. PCS 1900 LTE is FDD or otherwise know as regular LTE. In band 41 which is what Sprints 2500/2600 spectrum, LTE-TDD is LTE Advanced which is the next generation which when finish of implementation will net you up to 150mb dl thru put.

per band? per mhz? or for all 160 mhz or whatever.

20mhz blocks aggregated with the other bands 25 which is 1900mhz and the upcoming band 26 which is 800 mhz.

so 150Mb per 20mhz block? If i recall wasn't wimax 121Mb per 20 mhz block? That isn't very impressive to me....considering wimax was that high 10 or whatever years ago :/

So Sprint has 1200Mbps for 2500-2660 range? If so i think they are the only ones that can actually hit 4G standards with current spectrum. Granted lets see them have a big enough backbone Lets see some multi rate fiber already

WIMAX was limited to 5mhz blocks.

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

WIMAX was limited to 5mhz blocks.

The Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005) mobile wireless broadband access (MWBA) standard (also known as WiBro in South Korea) is sometimes branded 4G, and offers peak data rates of 128 Mbit/s downlink and 56 Mbit/s uplink over 20 MHz wide channels

read that in wikipedia years ago

But what goes in South Korea does not translate to the U.S. because of the restrictions the FCC 0laced on Clear for WIMAX. Stop using other countries as a example when the rules are different.

i wasn't....i was referring to what the technology can do. I don't find it impressive that LTE has just passed what wimax could have done 10 years ago...at least thats how i understand it....****

What will be 'Tri-Band' LTE capable:

- LG G2 (LS980)

- Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (SPH-L520)

- LG Galaxy Nexus 5 (D820)

- Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3" (SPH-L600)

- HTC One Max

Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread

Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T - i.e. tri-band galaxy s4

Unknown if this is the LTE-A version with the S800 though.

Teaser: Samsung Galaxy S4 + 2 = 3?! - Sprint 4G Rollout Updates
