[Clarified] ROG II Ultimate Band 71 and VoLTE T-Mobile?

penguinsquad

Will the ROG II Ultimate include Band 71? Its almost a requirement for T-Mobiles future network roll outs this coming year.
Also will there be support for T-Mobile VoLTE this time around?

It may sound like a simple thing to "just make a t-mobile version" but generally that depends even more so on the operator - rather than purely on Asus.

The US operator market is quite difficult.. esp. in the sense that each operator is quite different from the other, and specific band support is more common rather than exception.

In contrast to , for example, Europe, where you basically can have one set of bands and cover more or less every market. As such, planning is much easier.

We very much hope we will have better and better success in the US - and one day - full TMO support 😉

But what about the Ultimate Edition? I'm hoping that there are plans to add Band 71 and VoLTE to it before it comes out in the United States, especially since it's coming with improved network and charged at a premium price point.
The competitor to the ROG Phone, the Razer Phone 2, which released last year supports Band 71 and VoLTE on T-Mobile even though the operator doesn't offer the phone in their stores. The ROG Phone II is a near perfect device that only suffers from missing these things.
I hope it isn't too late to amend this for the Ultimate Edition. It's just one band and the Ultimate Edition hasn't been shipped out yet.

Hi

It will be the same for Ultimate. We are lacking band 71 and VoLTE certification from operators in the US.

So the best gaming phone (in your opinion ofcourse) will fart while playing on LTE. I bought ROG 1 hoping you will solve this but now I'm glad I skipped ROG 2. Phone got the looks but useless without those options.

Will it be possible to update the phones when you guys do get the certification? It just feels like the phones will become obsolete really fast without these.

If we do get VoLTE with some carrier, then it will work after FOTA but band 71 will probably never be a reality for ROG Phone II
