Sprint fires up LTE Advanced for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge

Phone

Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge in select cities across the United States will now get significantly faster mobile data speeds on Sprint. The carrier has confirmed that it has fired up three-carrier aggregation and thus brought faster LTE Advanced support to these handsets. There are a total of seven devices on Sprint's network right now that support three-carrier aggregation, only two are from Samsung, and the carrier says that all seven account for almost 20 percent of its postpaid user base.

Sprint claims that the switch to three-carrier aggregation is going to offer subscribers peak speeds of up to 200Mbps which is a significant improvement over two-carrier aggregation that provides speeds of up to 100Mbps. LTE Advanced involves using multiple LTE bands to allow for greater bandwidth speeds. As the number of bands go up so does the data rate, at least in theory. Sprint has now enabled three-carrier aggregation via an update for both Samsung flagships. Users in cities like San Francisco, Dallas, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Cleveland, Chicago, and more will now be able to enjoy faster mobile data.
