Never mind, answered my own question.
No, there are several new flagship model phones from different manufacturers that can not use the CDMA and 4 GLTE radios at the same time. This is what was known as SVDO, simultaneous voice and data operation, but unfortunately I believe the general consensus is that it's due to a lack of sufficient antennas to support both radios at the same time. At least that's what explanation seems to be floating about. This is the direction for all future phones as I understand it. Voice over LTE or VOLTE is supposed to be the next wave and it will stay that way, similar to what happened when we moved from earlier cellular technologies of analog to the now standard digital service. Eventually like analog, CDMA 3G radio will go away completely.Is the Turbo the only Vzw phone that turns off the CDMA radio when it's on a 4g network and you have VoLTE enabled? I think my old S5 kept both on all the time regardless.
