I'm currently looking at getting the Samsung Galaxy S5 DUOS LTE but I'm not sure if it will work well on T-Mobile's network in Washington State. I know T-Mobile uses 1700 MHz & 1900 MHz (3G) and 1700 MHz & 2100 MHz (4G LTE) but do they need both bands or can the phone get by with just a single band for 3G and 4G?
It has the following bands:
3G UMTS
B1 (2100 MHz)B2 (1900 MHz)B5 (850 MHz)B8 (900 MHz)4G FDD LTE
B1 (2100 MHz)B2 (1900 MHz)B3 (1800 MHz)B5 (850 MHz)B7 (2600 MHz)B8 (900 MHz)B20 (800 MHz)
