Under the terms of the law, T-Mobile and other purchasers doesn't get access to all of the 600 Mhz Band 72 spectrum until 2020, which is the deadline for UHF television channels to stop broadcasting on this frequency. The very first 4G Band 72 phones were available last November with the new Samsung Galaxy phones introduced this week also supporting Band 72. Later this year Samsung will announce new 5G versions of their phones which use Band 72. - newsroom.t-mobile.com T-Mobile has paid some broadcasters to leave early and installed 4G test installations in three rural communities starting with Cheyenne, Wyoming last August (see bottom photo). - newsroom.t-mobile.com T-Mobile will roll-out the full Band 72 network starting in 2019 as an exclusively 5G LTE data network, and convert the three test markets to 5G. T-Mobile will eventually carry all voice traffic over LTE 5G as data. Samsung's fold-able 5G Band 72 Galaxy phones may not be available until 2020 which is when I'll upgrade. The phones will then, again, fit in a normal pants pocket. The Samsung clamshell patent actually requires the use of small motor to move internal components into place.
