APN Tip:  Since the Galaxy S8 support LTE (fastest connection speeds), you should always you the LTE version of the APN Settings, please double check the information for your corresponding operator just to make sure they don’t have different versions for older and newer phone models.

If LTE network is available, you should see a small icon on the upper right corner -just next to the signal bars, that says LTE or in some cases 4G – this is the ultimate indicator that your phone is connected to an LTE network, this will however depend on the coverage they have, it might not be available on every corner of the city, especially on remote locations where most likely only a slower 3G or even 2G connection is available
