Decent list.
It’s telling that there’s no Samsung on this list…
What do you mean, it is telling? There is a Samsung Note variant that has LTE since 2012…
/n simple terms, 4G LTE means much faster, reliable internet/
Fast, yes.
Reliable? Not necessarily.
How come the 3.xG we have are not reliable? I doubt if reliability is predicated on the specific band…
I’ll be sticking with my 3G phone for now, but I like that there’s budget friendly options for when 4G reaches my locale.
There are several other sub $200 Chinese brands out there with 4G LTE.
