Carrier Aggregation was advertised at launch.
The phone should be able to do LTE Band 13 and Band 4 CA.
Any word on this and what markets CA is enabled in? Does the phone require an update?

Is LTE working in Germany and on a Vodafone contract? I'm thinking about getting an LTE contract. If not, what carrier is able to use LTE on this device?
The Nexus 5 supports all three frequencies that are used in Germany right now (800, 1800, 2600 MHz), so you can use LTE with any German provider that offers it.
If you want to use LTE off contract you might check out congstar. There you can use LTE (limited to 7,2 mbit/s, only postpaid). Otherwise just go with any carrier, as said above.
i didnt notice i had ordered the g955fd until a day after and im wondering since i live in the usa if im going to be able to use my carrier on this device. i use metropcs and live in a semi-rural area in georgia. i spend a lot of time in the city aswell. any info would be greatly appreciated.
MetroPCS is a US prepaid wireless service offered by T-Mobile US. MetroPCS uses T-Mobile US's GSM (1900MHz), a combination of UMTS/HSPA+(850MHz/1900MHz) and their 4G LTE networks.
For UMTS (3G) MetroPCS works on bands 2 and 4. UMTS B2(1900 PCS) and B4(1700/2100 AWS 1).
For LTE (4G) MetroPCS works on bands 2, 4, 12, 66 and 71. LTE B2(1900 PCS), B4(1700/2100 AWS 1), B12(700 ac), B66(1700/2100) and B71(600).
Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955FD supports all these UMTS/LTE bands except the B71(600) band. Usually GSM operators use higher frequency bands like the 2100/1900 MHz bands and rarely they use the lower frequency bands like the 700/600 MHz bands. So your G955FD will work flawlessly on 3G/4G MetroPCS network.
You can use LTE Discovery app from Google play store to check your band online while using your mobile. You get the band number on the Notification bar real time.

Thank you for this very detailed post! I do have one more question though. Do I need to flash any CSC? It seems like I was getting much better connection on my Nexus 6P than I am on this phone right now.
I'm running Renovate ICE 14.1 right now and I'm wondering if its possible to flash Snapdragon CSC on Exynos variants. I have tried it before on completely stock rom with no luck, but I have seen people say its okay to flash Snapdragon CSC on the Exynos variant of this device. Once again I really appreciate all this information <3
Will the P40 work on Verizon in the US?
Huawei P40 Pro have very bad cellular network support for US bands. I have only tested Huawei P40 Pro 5G and here is supported 4G and 5G combos and bands: https://cacombos.com/device?model=ELS-NX9 . In Verizon network this device works only single band.
No. None of the unlocked Huawei smartphones support Verizon US because Verizon uses CDMA technology for 2G and CDMA2000 for 3G, and unlocked Huawei phones only supports GSM technology for 2G and WCDMA for 3G. While their 4G network is technically supported, Verizon and Sprint require devices to support their 2G and 3G technologies in order to make phone calls and text messages.
I was shopping on a deal with Verizon's model SM-A716V but was unable to determine the phone's 5g support frequencies.
The unlocked model, SM-A716U seems to support low band 5g as well as mmwave listed as the below
N2(1900),N5(850),N66(AWS-3),N71(600), N41(2500)
But for the Verizon model the only thing I can find is mmwave bands n260 and n261. It must also support verizon's low band 5g as it's a 5g specific model for verizon.
Wondering what low band 5g does it support and if I decide to leave verizon later will it be able to use Tmobile or Att's low band 5g?
This is what I found, the Verizon version supports n260, n261, and mmWave. I'm guessing the "n" bands are the low band (DSS) freqs and the mmWave stands alone? I don't think the Verizon model will be compatible on other 5G networks but I could be wrong.
It appears that the radio bands that are supported show that it will - I don't care about 5G, so the 4G LTE bands are the only ones I care about.
