Any word on if this will eventually support T-Mobile's band 12? I'd buy one if it did.

I beleive it supports LTE bands 2/4/6/7/12/17. You can see the specs on their website here: http://www.hihonor.com/us/products/mobile-phones/honor5x/parameters/

Some of the reviewers online appear to say that band 12 is missing, but the specs on the hihonor website say differently.

Although it has the Band 12 antenna, TMobile doesn't allow it's use on their network unless the phone supports VoLTE. I'm wondering if that will be added later(maybe it's there now and I don't know) like the Nexus 5x and 6P.

Friends, see the article update. It will work on T-Mobile. The Band 12 issue will apparently vary carrier to carrier.
