Samsung tops the list with 15 smartphones that support all three LTE bands followed by Sony with 11 devices. Apple's iPhones was one of the first 4G device that was available in India and all iPhone starting from iPhone 5 support all three bands. While only one devices from chinese manufacturer Xiaomi could find its place the list.
LTE on band 5(850) is currently being deployed across many countries in Europe, however the adoption has been slow in other parts of the world. In India, both RCOM and Jio will use this band as their primary carrier due to its robust indoor coverage compared to other LTE bands available in India.
The latest generation Snapdragon processors from Qualcomm has support for almost every LTE band. However, manufactures choose to enable only certain bands that is available the country they are selling the device. Manufacture could also enable new LTE bands through software updates.
