The
Samsung's Galaxy S4 will
be able to support AWS on Verizon when it launches later this year.
The phone will require a software update to activate support for the
spectrum, which is being used to increase LTE coverage and speed in
different areas. Verizon announced that devices with AWS
support would
ship by July likely
before the network itself launches and it's certainly met that
deadline.
However,
Verizon has taken its time in rolling out the new spectrum. While the
company has continued
to purchase licenses,
it only
recently announced that
it intends to have some of the AWS spectrum up and running by the end
of this year. According to Bloomberg,
that launch will begin in major cities, including New York, where
network congestion has become a problem as more consumers adopt LTE.
