When will the S8 get "5G"?

Now that AT&T has indicated that 5G Evolution is 3xca, 256 qam, and 4x4 mimo, all of which the S8 is capable of... How long will it be before we start to see phones with the 5G indicator?

AT&T has done this before so it is a simple software update for this.

So dumb. AT&T is SO full of crap here. Wouldn't it be cool if we had some sort of definition of what 5G is going to be and then held companies accountable to being honest in their marketing?

5G is live in Austin I believe. I would assume, as the S8 has the capability, that would trigger it on?

I am referring to the indicator in the notification bar.
