Yes, although demonstrated in the video like here and articles like here, Le Max Pro does not have software functionality that supports 802.11ad.

Yet, I was disappointed.

Guess the only good news is that this phone is discontinued. If there is anyone still looking for this phone, and is looking forward to the so-claimed first smartphone with 60GHz, please consider to wait for more time.
