Well of course, even the older One received LTE why shouldn't this One?

The verizon version does get lte out the box for T-Mobile.
Lock this up.
I was told vzw unlocked does NOT get lte out the box...

Check out the bands it gets on Verizon's website. It gets more than the HTC One (M7) and the DNA which is what we needed to have it work on more than just edge.

This can be closed it gets T-Mobile LTE out the box

Closed per OP request.
Best Buy sells an unlocked version of the G920T - http://goo.gl/bk4ukE
It's not T-Mobile. It's unlocked and has no carrier bloat - just the usual Samsung stuff. It shows "4G" for LTE. (Edit: Correction - after the OTA referenced below, it shows H+ and LTE)
It came with 5.1.1 out of the box, build ending in COG3.
It had a 272mb software update immediately available that took it up to the build ending in COK1 and added the Android Security Patch Level line showing 2015-11-01.
Just curious how this model fits into the other unlocked models (f, i, etc.). Did Samsung simply take the T-Mobile model and sell a variant unlocked with no T-Mobile influence?
Sorry to bump this but I'm seeing a few more of these in the wild now and trying to figure it out. It's gotta have the same internals as the T-Mobile variant since the model number is the same, I'm assuming anyway? The full model is SM-G920TZKAX, but the packaging and phone just shorten it to T. The T-Mobile model is SM-G920TZDATMB. I guess knowing what the letters after G920T mean would be helpful.
From what I've read it appears to be a unlocked version of the T-Mobile variant. Can't find much information about it.
I purchased the unlocked version from Best Buy yesterday for $450. Rooted it and could not be happier.

What method did you use? I'm concerned about doing any mods due to not having the right software to flash back to (which we don't have right?).
I used the follow root method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/galaxy-s6-root-5-1-1-variants-t3147074
As for going back to stock, you can always use smart switch, or ODIN back to stock rom.

It's been so long on a Samsung device... no idea what smart switch is. Need to do some reading to get caught up. Thx
Smart Switch replaced Samsung Kies, which replaced Odin. Welcome

I just bought this yesterday as an open box for $380. I was worried that is wouldn't have LTE band 17 for AT&T as the normal 920T is listed as missing this band. The Best Buy version does have band 17 and I'm connected on it now. Very happy with the phone so far.

I downloaded LTE Discovery from the play store and it tells you what band you are connected to.

you can also see the specs for the phone on Samsung's website. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920TZKAXAR
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900),B3(1800),B4 (AWS),B5(850),B7(2600),B12(700),B17(700),B20(800)
Firmware?
Love the phone with no carrier bloatware, would have preferred 64GB but I can make due. I would like to root it but not without having factory firmware to fall back on. Even though it's a 920T it's has no T-Mobile apps so I'm pretty sure I can't load a T-Mobile ROM on it. If anyone runs across formware for a SM-G920TZKAXAR PLEASE let us know. TIA
Does this work with Samsung Pay?
Has anyone tried getting this to work with Samsung Pay? I saw on a Slickdeals thread that it will not work ... would love confirmation.
Also, and I know this is a very, very slight chance anyone will know this, but -- will this work with my old, granfathered T-Zones data plan?

Yes. You can load T-Mobile firmware onto it. You just get all the TMobile extra stuff. Thats the same "unlocked" model sold by Rent A Center.
Marshmallow now available
I'm on sm-g920tzkaxar. Marshmallow is downloading on my phone right now!... See attached.
Thanks,

Currently this variant is awaiting official upgrade, most nougat roms are not going to work fully as call audio is broken, you may need to wait till official update is released to have all functions.
I'm considering getting the s7, but after hearing about the bootloader issue I had a few questions. I use Titanium backup, Pandora cracked, and lux, and I was wondering how being unable to root has affected anyone else?

But if the international version doesn't have the hardware for the US, he's ****ed. And I've heard VoLTE and B12 doesn't work on the international version.
International isn't an option. Need to get it thru tmobile for the monthly payments.
How would I know what international version to get that will work with my Tmobile US service?

Just make sure it has the correct LTE bands for the USA which I'm pretty sure all the international phones have the same bands. I use a 930F on ATT and it works great!

How would I know what bands I would need? I have Tmobile, could someone help me find the right version?

After reading a few threads, it would seem that there is an msmtool for the tmobile variant now but still no method for root? I'm not counting the method to convert to international version.
Do I have this all correct or am I missing something?

The T-Mobile MSM tool is to revert back to the T-Mobile firmware. If you use the MSM tool to convert from the T-Mobile version to the international version, you can root but you must be SIM unlocked prior to converting to the international version.

Right I had mentioned that in my post, but I'm a little apprehensive to try it because I don't want to have issues with lte or wifi calling.
Is there no way to just root on my stock rom? I kinda just want a custom kernel and themes.

There are no issues what do ever with LTE of Wi-Fi Calling. They work great. The newest update for the Global/International version fixed the issue some had with Wi-Fi calling not switching over fast enough.
No, there is no way to root the stock T-Mobile rom.

Yes there is. Simply unlock bootloader and patch the boot image. And flash it in fastboot.

Not likely.
We used to be able to do that and vice versa using a modified version of odin but i haven't seen it used in quite some time.
