VoLTE requires carrier data connection to be on all the time that pretty
much negates the advantage of WiFi for free data outside of phone calls.
So I wonder what happens when both mobile data and WiFi are enabled
during such time? Will the phone use WiFi in such cases instead of LTE?

in or I want to make a call, it is automatically enabled and then
disabled after the call?
I tend to keep data connection off when not talking or texting to save
battery, though multimedia in text requires carrier data.
I am using an unlocked LG G6 with a cheap monthly prepaid plan right now
and I don't think VoLTE will be available for me any time soon, but I
was just wondering what would happen if I got VoLTE capability sooner.

voice calls are either volte or they fall back to the older cdma/hspa.
if you disable data, you only block apps from using the connection. lte
is still active.

that won't make any difference on battery consumption.
if you want to reduce battery consumption, use airplane mode to disable
all radios.

volte is probably available, but it may not be used since the entire
path must be volte. if you call a landline or non-volte phone, you
won't be using volte (at least not yet).
