T-Mobile GSM LTE phones?

Does T-Mobile or MetroPCS have any GSM+LTE phones? Or are they all either GSM/HSPA+ or CDMA+LTE?

I'd like something with some future-proof technology, but I don't want the battery drain of CDMA + GSM/LTE, as I have with my current MetroPCS phone. Perhaps if Metro was able to get a Moto G or Moto X :D
 
LTE is actually an evolution of GSM, which is why LTE-capable CDMA phones require a SIM.

All of T-Mobile's LTE devices are GSM+LTE (HSPA+ is also thrown in there for good measure).
 
Just get the unlocked moto g/lte phone from motorola direct or amazon. Works flawlessly on both tmobile or att, as well as their mvnos.
 
Sorry, these phones are either gsm/4g-hspa or CDMA + LTE (I do realize that LTE is GSM, that's why the battery was so bad on the lg motion even with a 2800mah extended battery that I came from an lg viper). None seem to be gsm/LTE, without CDMA.

Thanks for the answers.

Metro doesn't give much information to go off of, but I did some digging on Samsung's website and confirmed that the GS4 on Metro (SKU: 610214633279) is GSM+LTE:
FREQUENCIES AND DATA TYPE
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700), Band V (850); Primary LTE: Band IV (1700), Band XVII (700); Other LTE: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band V (850), Band VII (2600)

The same goes for the Metro version of the Galaxy S 5:
FREQUENCIES AND DATA TYPE
VoLTE; LTE: Band 1/2/3/5/7/8/4/17; HSPA+/UMTS: 850/1700/AWS/1900/2100MHz; GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
