An FYI for discussion. Info obtained from each carrier website for the S8...
I use AT&T but I can get an S8 with corp contract pricing through AT&T or Verizon... so I'm checking the bands supported on each carrier. I don't really travel much but if I did decide to go out of country like China, I wanted to see if the phone supported them (40, 41).
Surprisingly the LG G6 didn't look to support those bands on the 3 carriers.
And for the LG G6, the Verizon variant showed more bands supported than AT&T but seem opposite here. So I may just stick with AT&T if I did get the S8 (still considering G6). T-mobile always seem to support the least on S8 and G6.
