Samsung introduces Galaxy S5 LTE-A for Korea with much better specs than current model

if you even thought about using those speeds on the U.S. Cell network, the network would melt and then implode.

Why is it only available in South Korea?


What a contrast to the benighted North of the country.

@Mrguss

Do you know if their LTE-A standard is wholly a private initiative or is it gov (or mixed)?

Not available out of Korea??? WTF is that people?? THe US is their main source of revenue and we get straight jacked??

I see all the comments, you guys do realize Samsung is based out of South Korea, so why not give your home country some special lovin'! Also their country has some of the fastest internet in the world, the USA is falling way behind in internet speeds and this phone would be absolutely gimped in the USA. I still wish I could have one, but I am pretty optimistic a variant will show up here (Arizona T-Mobile user here)!
