Hi ,,
I am willing to buy an HTC one M8 from US and having it shipped to me in Saudi Arabia,
I am `a little bit concerned about the frequency compatibility,,
I guess these are the frequency information of the device: Networks: LTE Quad Band (Bands 17/4/2/5); LTE MIMO; GSM/EDGE: Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 Hz), Class 12; UMTS: Tri-band (UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz), HSPA+Category 14xx (HSDPA 21Mbps/ EDCH 5.7 Mbps)
would i be able to use 3g and 4g properly?
thank you guys,,
Hi,
There are threads about this question earlier, but I dont seem to get an clear answer. I paying a visit to US in a few weeks, and planning to buy the new Nexus 5X and bring it back home to Denmark(Europe). Obviously because of the price difference. Thus, I want to make sure it will work fully under my LTE network. My carrier back home uses the following LTE settings
2600Mhz(B7/FDD) and 1800Mhz(B3/FDD)
And when I read the specs about the Nexus 5X(US edition) (https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6102470?hl=en) it has the following settings:
North America:
GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS/WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8
CDMA: BC0/1/10
LTE (FDD): B1/2/3/4/5/7/12*/13/17/20/25/26/29
LTE (TDD): B41
LTE CA DL: B2-B2, B2-B4, B2-B5, B2-B12, B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-B29, B4-B4, B4-B5, B4-B7, B4-B12, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29, B41-B41
Which for me seems to correspond quite well. Can I be 100% sure that US version of Nexus 5X will have LTE support back in Denmark?
Thanks a lot.

While the USA model is optimized to include support for all the major USA carriers it is still meant with the idea of supporting world travel and overall compatibility. Given that your carrier runs on (After doing some research do you have either Telia or Hutchison 3) 2600Mhz(B7/FDD) and 1800Mhz and the US model has support for those frequencies you can be 99% certain it will work (Nothing is ever 100% with technology).
Hi,
I have received new Nexus 5x LGH791, which is European version.
I live in North American and have T-moble service.
Would this phone with with T-mobile, including 4G LTE?
Also, would it work with Project Fi? I understand that Sprint is using CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM network, and this phone doesn't support CDMA. Can it still work with T-mobile only within Project Fi?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Hi,
Thanks, I know that there are different phone versions. I was asking if my LGH791 'Rest of world' version of the phone would work with T-mobile's 4G LTE? I've read somewhere that T-mobile's 4G LTE works in B2 and B4 LTE bands, which this phone does support, and wanted to confirm that. Also, since Google's Project Fi works with T-mobile, then can this phone work with Project Fi also and stay only in T-mobile's network (not switching to Sprint's CDMA network)? Thanks!
LTE Frequencies:
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
Lower 700 MHz band 12 (in development) / in service in selected areas
3G/4G Frequencies (WCDMA):
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
2G Frequencies (GSM/GPRS/EDGE):
1900 MHz PCS band 2
Should be fine. I don't see why you'd have a problem with Project Fi, it just wouldn't ever see CDMA.

You won't have band 12, but neither do I since we get to enjoy the lovely TV channel 51 instead.

Sorry for my noob question, would flashing a newer baseband/radio help to get band 12 on h791?
No, available frequencies would depend on hardware.

Thank you. However, I found a few topics that some users had difficulties with band 12 with US version, by my understanding the issue is related to providers, mostly t-mobile. Do you know what this is all about?
No, I haven't really cared about band 12 since i found out my metro area wouldn't get it until they get rid of the TV station
I bought a LG-H791F and I did not remember to look where the correct model to my country.
In my city does not have 4G yet.
Will this version works in Brazilian 4G?

Okay. That's my fault. I overlooked the "F" in your model number. Sorry. Here are the specs for your LG-H791F:
B1 (2100) LTE
B2 (1900 PCS) LTE
B3 (1800 +) LTE
B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1) LTE
B5 (850) LTE
B7 (2600) LTE
B20 (800 DD)
LTEB28 (700 APT) LTE
You device supports LTE bands 3, 7 and 28 which are used by all the Brazilian carriers except SKY Brazil and ON Telecom which use Band 38.
The 3G bands that are supported by your device are as follows:
B1 (2100) UMTS
B2 (1900 PCS) UMTS
B5 (850) UMTS
B8 (900 GSM) UMTS
Now, your device does support all of the Brazilian carriers UMTS 3G & HSPA networks because all of the carriers use Band 1 and Band 5.
Also, you specific device supports all of the 2G networks as well for each carrier. Looks like you are good to go.
H791(F),maybe refer to FDD only model,network goes like
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900,
UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1),
LTE2100 (B1),LTE1800 (B3),LTE1900 (B2), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE850 (B5), LTE2600 (B7), LTE800 (B20), LTE700 (B28)
Frequency band allocation of Brazil is same as Europe,Band 3 (1800) Band 7(2600) for most carriers,
And how did you get such an interesting version?Willing sharing a QPST QCN backup for band unlocking?
Which is better one ?
Depends, if you care about root exynos. If you want speed and les lag snapdragon.

If you want a Snapdragon with unlocked bootloader that you can root then get the SM-N9750/DS. Or keep your Exynos. Those are your only options if you want root. I'm surprised more people don't get the international Snapdragon, it's like they only think the Exynos exists.

People buy what's offered in their region...
If you get a unit that requires a warranty repair , out of region phones are not covered and it can be expensive and time consuming to get fixed..
Considering the expense already it comes with peace of mind to be able to get things RMA'ed easily.
I got my Note 10+ and literally the next day I had to get it fixed due the S-Pen not coming out. Got my phone back, had it for less than a day and had to return it due to the power button becoming defective too.
I know this is not really the norm but these things do happen and what took a few days to fix could have been weeks or months otherwise if purchased outside my region...
The Snapdragon is a superior chip and is more efficient so totally your call. Warranty might be and issue
Just enjoy the phone you have your talking minimal gains Vs a possible loss of RMA /warranty
Not worth it.

Hi,
Just visited some samsung store in shanghai and I can tell you that in mainland china there are no sm-n9750, currently there are no 4g versions available of the note 10+. They only sell the 5g versions with the exact same characteristics as the sm-n9750/DS but with 5g support (thanks cpt obvious) with the following bands : N42 (2500), N78 (3500) and N79 (4500). the 5g versions is under the name sm-9760/DS. And it should also have the unlocked bootloader. Oh and it is sold the same price as the 4g version elsewhere and with google framework installed on it but deactivated until you connect to a network that don't block google..

Honestly there isn't a huge difference that you would notice. I have an exynos version here but I have a friend who bought the snapdragon version from the States. To be honest it seems the battery life is better on my exynos as he gets way less SOT on his phone and we both are medium to high users.
Firdt i bough ex version and sold after 5 days because of poor network signal . After 15 days i bough snap version and i dont have any problems with signal. For me its worth to change ex with sd. I have dual sim hk version

Thats is one reason to buy devices intended for use in your specific country, other major consideration is WARRANTY, I have claimed warranty in several ocasions, with devices obtained from my carrier, it is really difficult if not impossible when you buy a device from other country

That is true, but it also depends on where you buy it from - I have purchased many of my Exynos phones from Clove UK - and their customer support is fantastic. I had an issue when I bought the S9Plus - phone calls were dropping constantly - I tried everything to fix it and nothing worked - I sent back to Clove and they replaced it - pretty quick turn around - Now that happened within a week of when I bought it and I don't know what would have happened if I had a Warrenty issue after like six months or something - but I am just saying that some retailers will provide very good service and help with warranty repairs.

That is not true as the Snapdragon is definitely the superior chip. If you looknat the architecture of both then you will see that Snapdragon would have better battery life and performance.
Your friend might be using the Snapdragon and getting less battery life as you two don't have exactly the same usage. If you used his phone the same way you use your own phone then you will see that Snapdragon will get better battery life.
When signal is weak snap performs better,im in europe and by default ex is for our country but snap is superior chip,better reception,better battery better perfomance overall
I have the exynos version and i'm getting 5+/- on screen time, while my brother has the snapdragon and he is getting 7 hours, i'm really pissed...
