I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but can you add bands to the phone? This is because I live in the US and my carrier uses bands 2, 4, and 12. I would just get the A320y which supports bands 2 and 4, but I cannot find it online, only other variants from europe. So is it possible to add those bands to the phone? If not then i'll just consider buying an X compact or something.
Thanks
You can find that model in México and Chile. It's being released in LATAM.

Hi all,
Thinking about picking up the G4. I do some occasional travel to Europe for work, about once a quarter. As such, I am looking at the G4 variant that will work on both sides of the Atlantic. It looks like I can pick up the International H815 that should do just fine. But being here in the States, I'd probably have to special order one.
I took a look at the specs for the AT&T H810 variant, and it says that it has the LTE bands 1, 3, 7 for Roaming. Incidentally, the band I need for my carrier in Europe is band 3.
So my question is does included hardware support band 3? Would I be able to use my Europe SIM in the phone and connect to band 3? Or does the roaming imply I can only access band 3 with my USA SIM when I am roaming in Europe?
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!

I just ordered a brown leather 815 on eBay for 700. By the time you figure taxes and getting leather option and not having to deal with ATT sounded like a decent deal. I hope I can get the free goodies from Lg. Plus it should be here by the June 1st or so.

Provided AT&T allows you with Unlock code to use Europe SIM. I doubt.

FWIW ATT actually gave me the unlock code within 2 days. Pretty fast.
Hi there,
Looking at Google Pixels page one can see that there is two versions of the product: NA and RoW.
Question is: is there any chance of buying a RoW version in US? Has anyone ever managed to buy the past Nexus International Versions in US before?
Thanks all and regards
Took me a few seconds to figure out what RoW means. I'd like to know this too.
In regards to the N6p I tried to buy an Intl version from the US but it wasn't available.
Had to be bought from Intl market like EU or the Middle East..

Is there any difference in the UAE? Both versions support LTE Band 3 and UMTS Band 1. Should work fine in the UAE.
I'm using US 6P which also supports LTE B3 and have not had any issues at all.

To my understanding of supported LTE, UMTS, and GSM frequencies both Pixel Variants will work in UAE but Carrier Aggregation will probably not work. Not sure if the operators in the UAE support CA (yet) but if/ when they do this will probably something that wouldn't work on the NA variant. The only combination supported by the device for UAE bands is B7+B7, which may or may not work.
Whether this is a deal breaker or not is up to you to decide.
Won't work. There are two different version. One that supports international LTE bands and one that supports the bands in the USA. Just like the Nexus 6, 5x and 6P. If you buy the Pixel in the USA you'd only be able to use 3g speeds in Europe, band 7 (1800mhz) being the only exception.
In short, should you buy the pixel phone in the USA you won't have 4G in Europe and other countries that use the same bands.

Same with me. Worse than that, Google does not sell then in my country. So, unfortunately, I may have to buy outside US as well again.

Now that the pixel is out i can't seem to find anything online (N6p H1512 64/128gb) that comes with a warranty, if you do come across one that includes warranty please dm me.
I found out the warranty over here is handled by the retailers and is not international (covered by Google/Huawei).

Of course, no problem. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I am also looking at this and cannot understand the CA limitations on the US device. Unless I am mistaken the Snapdragon X12 modem supports all combinations of supported frequencies. Yet the phones have different combinations for some reason. I do not know if Google is limiting this via software. Any thoughts?

How comes? Both NA & RoW Pixel's tech specs show bands 3 and 20 (beside the band 7 & others) which are the most common bands used in Europe for LTE, so I can't see why the NA model won't have 4G in Europe... Can you please explain?
Lots of overlap
There appears to be quite significant overlap, with the NA version supporting all or almost all LTE bands in most European countries and in many non-European countries as well (including all LTE bands in UAE):
NA version: frequencycheck.com/compatibility/GPQkJ/google-pixel-xl-phone-nexus-m1-td-lte-na-128gb-htc-marlin/countries
RoW version: frequencycheck.com/compatibility/vWPw8/google-pixel-xl-phone-nexus-m1-global-td-lte-128gb-htc-marlin/countries
---------- Post added at 07:15 ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 ----------
Hmm... just noticed that a few European countries that FrequencyCheck lists the NA version as having only partial LTE coverage for are because the site considers the NA version not to support band 8. But, according to Google's own spec page (madeby.google.com/phone/specs/ > Telephony), both the NA and RoW versions support B8. No idea if FrequencyCheck is a generally reliable source of info, as I just discovered the site a few minutes ago. I hope Google's listing for their own phone is correct, but the fact that B8 isn't included anywhere in the LTE 2xCA and 3xCA breakdowns for the NA version as it is for the RoW version makes me wonder...

Yes, the main European LTE bands are 3, 7 and 20, so it doesn't matter which version you have as both support all these bands. scandalousk is wrong.
Partially, it'll support 4G. But it won't support LTE-Advanced (4g+)

It'll support LTE, but won't support LTE Carrier Aggregation. LTE-Advanced is more than just Carrier Aggregation.
Hi guys,
I know that HTC USA version has different LTE bands in comparison with European and Asian variants.
However what I want to know if the combination of bands to do carrier aggregation are different. For example, both devices support bands B7 and B28 but I don't know if both variations support using these bands together.
Google Pixel lists all the possible combinations of bands in order to get carrier aggregation but I can't find this information for HTC 10.
Do you know if American version support bands 7 and 28 together in order to get carrier aggregation?
Hi,
I am interested in buying this device. It does have North American LTE bands, but I am curious if device supports LTE-A (4CA)?
I can't seem to find any info on this.
If anyone has the device, can you tell us about LTE-A , 4CA or 3 CA, is this happening?

Thanks! it does have LTE North American bands, im wondering if it supports LTE-A : LTE-Advance like aggregation of 3 LTE or 4 LTE Bands like Galaxy S8, Note 8 and oneplus 5, and pixel xl?
I wanna buy this awesome phone from eBay and use it in my home country - Czech Republic, but there are still two things I don't know, so I'm holding off.
Can anyone, who owns the USA T-Mobile (1789-04) version, check for me, if it supports LTE band 20 (800 DD)? I scour the internet for the answer and some sites says it does, but some it doesn't.
And a lil' bit stupid question: Is there a chance, it will work locked, if I will use it with Czech Republic T-Mobile sim card?
Thank you all in advance for any answer.
as far as i can tell the T-MO variant does in fact support band 20, and the spec sheet from t-mo says the same.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36016
That's what I thought too, but their normal website (where you can order Moto Z2 Force online) says otherwise (can't post link):
Frequency
LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13
According to this Network signal guru app, it looks like my T-Mobile version of the Z2 Force supports band 20.
Thanks for the info. I found on Reddit, that it should work like this: T-mobile only lists the ones it's network uses. If it's roaming it will use the other bands, or if you flash unlocked firmware it will be able to use those bands as well.
So according to this, the "other bands" should be listed on every phone's tech specs T-Mobile website.
