Unlike many other manufacturers, Samsung managed to keep their Galaxy S 5 out of the FCC approval process until after the official announcement and unveiling, so these new FCC filings aren’t really surprising in any way. Still, it had to happen sooner or later, and now we have concrete evidence that there will be three different models of the S 5 to hit Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile this year, with the model numbers SM-G900V, SM-G900A, and SM-G900T, respectively.
The Verizon variant looks like it’ll sport LTE bands 4 and 13 along with GSM bands 850 and 1900 for global roaming. The AT&T and T-Mobile versions will run on LTE bands 2, 4, 5, and 17, which is typical for their networks.
There’s also a SM-G900S that’ll likely end up being the Sprint version of the device, although the FCC hasn’t completely divulged the specifics on that model just yet. Regardless, we know Sprint will be carrying the Galaxy S 5, so the lack of a concrete FCC filing doesn’t mean too much right now.
