Now that both Globe and PLDT/Smart partly owns the much-coveted 700MHz LTE frequency, the next question is which smartphones support this band? So we looked into the entire line of smartphones that supports the 700MHz frequency.
There are two potential bands in the 700MHz frequency that we are looking — Band 12 (700MHz) and Band 28 (700MHz). We’re not still sure which of the two will be deployed by Globe and Smart but for the purposes of this chart, we looked into Band 28 (700MHz) since it’s the band where a lot of devices are supported. Update: According to a source inside the telco, they are still waiting for NTC to assign which band to use.
Some devices are very highly compatible, like the Huawei P9/P9 Plus, LG G5, and the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, since they both support Band 12 and Band 28 of the 700MHz frequency (see also: List of Devices Supporting LTE 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 700MHz 128).

We’re still adding to this table as we find new devices. Also, note that a lot of the devices that different variants depending on the region, some of the devices listed above and distributed in the Philippines may not support the 700MHz frequency. The same is true with the chipsets — not all devices running the same chipset may support the band. We will make additional footnotes as we go along.
Do chime in on the comments section below if you think we missed a device.

Richard Q. Romero says:
Huawei Mate 7!
mamalou says:
Yup, LTE band 12 and 28 are the most qualified to be assigned here in PH since band 17 is already a subset of band 12 and only 1 device available here in the Philippines that I know of that supports LTE band 13, that is the Galaxy S7 (Exynos variant).
Red Vesper says:
supported ba ang Cherry Mobile Android One G1?
LTA says:
To add up to LTE Band 17, TDD band 44 is also on the 700mhz range…
POOCHIE says:

ian says:
How about Oppo F1plus
icheckedin says:
Will the use of the 700Mhz band also benefit subscribers of PLDT Ultera for example? It seems that the focus now is on cellphones that are able to use this band.
mingah says:
kasali rin po ba yung huawei y6 pro?

D says:
I used to have poor to no internet access in our residential area, or even when traversing EDSA. This changed all of a sudden sometime last week. Not only do i have good internet access on the locations specified earlier, I am also now able to go online in elevators, bathrooms, and other areas that normally have poor signal reception. Could this be a result of the improved frequency?
I’m using a Samsung S6 Edge and a SUN postpaid subscriber, btw.
