T-Mobile states that the S21 line will be among the first devices to support New Radio Carrier Aggregation (NR CA). Carrier Aggregation refers to the ability to connect to multiple radio bands at once and combine the connections for faster speeds. As of now, 5G devices on the T-Mobile network can only use one NR 5G band at a time.
Preorders are available today with devices launching on January 29th.
