is xiomi note7 not LTE capable?please include
sayang lang yan at marketing gimmick lang para lumipat tayo sa bagong LTE-A. ang kailangan lang ay doblehin or taasan nila ang mbps … mga 25mbps at masaya na ako. with d same old smart lte – surf max995 doublehin lang ang mbps at satisfied na ako. naki alam kasi ang mga senador kayo naging wise ang mga telecom . . .

What is the point?, until the philippines has a reliable lte sergice that has good coverage, then these devices are a waste of time and money. All the PH providers are delivering an extremly poor service, and charging hi fees for 3rd rate performance and coverage. I was driving back from the NAIA to pasig yesterday, and for 90% of the time i could not get a stable internet conection on either of my phones, Globe or Smart.
Just visit japan or korea to see how it should, even in the provinces.
Hahah kulang naman yung list ng samsung mo. Di mo ata alam na pati yung pinaka unang brand at model ng phone na may lte advanced ay samsung. SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 korean version 3 variants. Nandyan ang lgu sm-g906k at KT (korean telecom) sm-g906l and SKT(south korean telecom) sm-g906s. Nong nag release ang samsung ng galaxy s5 nag karoon na sila ng lteA capable and ready for 5g kaso for korean nga lang. Itong 3 variants na to ay may LTEA or LTE+ logo sa back ng case nya.
