I'm so used to 4G LTE network with Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, how is the speed of 4G HSPA compared to 4G LTE?

depends on your signal and how far you are to the tower. On average, LTE is 2 to 3 times faster than hspa+ on download. If you are just browsing and the occasional youtube videos then hspa+ is manageable.. I have experienced download speeds as high as 10Mb/s on the tmobile network, which is enough to do what you usually do on your phone.

I have 2. Both are as fast as teh Wi-Fi networks they are connected to. Also very fast on T-Mobile/FamilyMobile. BUT, I have no Samsung Galaxy experience with which to compare. My daughter (38 years ild and a corporate executive) is impressed by my Blu Life instruments. She uses the Galaxy I-phone because her employer provides it. I amd sure there are some differences in operation thatn would make you uncomfortable at first. All devices have a learning curve.

My S2 provides the only internet service in my home. It is just as fast as any high speed or satellite internet provider I've ever used.

there is no difference in speed, it's just extra storage memory not more RAM. as far as speed goes the only difference you MIGHT notice is the 4G/LTE model has a slightly faster processor but to most it is unnoticeable.

has to do with the fastness of the internet in a wireless technology. 4g is the latest passing 3g

As long as it is an SIII that is labeled "Samsung SGH-T999" then you can use it on Simple Mobile AND have 4G. If it is the ATT version, you will only get EDGE (2G) speeds. Any other carrier version SIII will not work (Sprint, Verizon, etc.)

I have purchases this handset in Oct 2014 and I moved to US. I purchased 4G LTE sim card from T Mobile. I can see LTE/WCDMA/GSM option under Network Mode. I have selected that mode. I can see H+ symbol only and having speed as 5 to 8 MBPS. I haven't get 4G / LTE symbol on top most bar near Signal bar. Is possible to get 4G speed using T Mobile on Note 3 4G / LTE N9005 handset?

Its not 3g ..not 4g...in te phone apears...H...that is better. Speed then 3g...because.it is. internatinal

There is no mention of LTE in the manual so 4G us orobably the max. This is an older hotspot

My understanding is that this is an unlocked phone that will work with all GSM bands. it is supposed to do HSPA/3g speeds, but the phone is really slow. honestly I do not recomend this phone

yes, it works fine and as far as I can tell, it is LTE, as the speed went up when they upgraded our tower.

Hello well if you read full phone specs it supports LTE 4G at 700MHz only, the one i've got is an unlocked Verizon Branded one so i guess that can connect to a 4G network but it's better if you ask to Verizon if in your location have LTE coverage first.

It does not get LTE service. It is an older model hotspot. It will max our at whatever service you sign up for. If you sign up for 2 gb than it will got to 2G speeds after that.

Hi, it is 4G LTE version, it depends who is your provider, it can pick up all the speeds.

Yes, it's a GSM phone. Check the frequencies against the ones for your carrier. In the US you may only get HSPA (right initials?), but not LTE, depending on carrier.

It does work with 4g networks but depending on where you live, you might not see the 4g icon on your phone. For example, I live in the US and instead of seeing the 4g icon, I see 3g h+ for my speed when I use data. It's like that because this version is international so it doesn't completely match the frequency in the US, but it's really no big deal in my opinion since I'm still using my carrier's 4g network in the form of 3g h+. The speed is still very remarkable and satisfying.

Jerry K's question wasn't answered very clearly because there are two "flavors" of 4G, one of which is a slower sort-of 4G that is non-LTE. I've researched this a little and the answer for 4G-LTE is apparently "no". AT&T; 4G-LTE is being deployed on two different bands. In the system used in urban areas they use "band 4" which uses 1700 & 2100 mHz simultaneously. In more rural areas they plan to install a "band 17" 700-mHz system which has better "reach". Unfortunately the Z-Boost will NOT amplify either band. It will, however, boost the "non-LTE" sort-of-4G interm systems that AT&T; has widely deployed.
