Galaxy Note 2: Will this run on LTE with AT&T?

If the GN2 is obtained and activated from AT&T, will it run on LTE?

If an unlocked version is run on Straight Talk, will it run LTE if Straight Talk sets it up on ATT network?

thanks
 
If it's the international version then no, it won't have LTE. Only if it is the AT&T branded version as far as I can tell.
 
The international version doesn't have the hardware chip to support LTE so even if you were on a 4G network, it still wouldn't operate on it, only 3G for the international version.

The AT&T branded one will work on 4G.
 
Yeah, if you didn't get the phone from AT&T, then it's not going to connect to AT&T's LTE network. Even if you got another LTE capable phone from another carrier such as Verizon or Sprint, it wouldn't get LTE on AT&T because the frequencies are different and the phones hardware/radio is made specifically for that carrier.

But you wouldn't get LTE on Straight Talk even if you got a Note 2 from AT&T and put it on ST because ST doesn't support LTE even if your phone does and you're using an AT&T SIM card/phone and on AT&T towers. HSPA+ is as good as it gets on ST at the moment, which isn't bad by any means.
