Now that both Globe and PLDT/Smart partly owns the much-coveted 700MHz LTE frequency, the next question is which smartphones support this band? So we looked into the entire line of smartphones that supports the 700MHz frequency.
There are two potential bands in the 700MHz frequency that we are looking — Band 12 (700MHz) and Band 28 (700MHz). We’re not still sure which of the two will be deployed by Globe and Smart but for the purposes of this chart, we looked into Band 28 (700MHz) since it’s the band where a lot of devices are supported. Update: According to a source inside the telco, they are still waiting for NTC to assign which band to use.
Some devices are very highly compatible, like the Huawei P9/P9 Plus, LG G5, and the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, since they both support Band 12 and Band 28 of the 700MHz frequency (see also: List of Devices Supporting LTE 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 700MHz 128).

We’re still adding to this table as we find new devices. Also, note that a lot of the devices that different variants depending on the region, some of the devices listed above and distributed in the Philippines may not support the 700MHz frequency. The same is true with the chipsets — not all devices running the same chipset may support the band. We will make additional footnotes as we go along.
Do chime in on the comments section below if you think we missed a device.

wtf says:
kung mapapansin nyo, puro foreign brands at siguradong kamamahal ang mga ito…ano ba yan?! sige, bibili na lang ako ng samsung s7 edge o apple iphone 6(9) sa gsm (galing sa magnanakaw) market…
Archie says:
Wow naman. Ano ang expected mo sa local brands na sobrang mura? Kaya nga mura ang mga yun dahil meron silang tinipid sa manufacturing di ba? Tumahimik ka na lang kung wala kang pambili ng flagship phones. Siguradong may alternative para bumilis ang internet para sa lower end wifi modems yun ang hintayin mo.

Confirmed na ba ito boss? Para masulit naman yung Mate 7 ko (MT7-L10 3GB Amber Gold) mag 2 years na kasi. Thanks!
mamalou says:
Yup, LTE band 12 and 28 are the most qualified to be assigned here in PH since band 17 is already a subset of band 12 and only 1 device available here in the Philippines that I know of that supports LTE band 13, that is the Galaxy S7 (Exynos variant).
