Hi everyone.
In India Redmi Note 7 (in all variants) had problem with very slow 4g data and internet is full of (hopeless) call for help . There was some hardware problem with network aggregation and phone doesn't support 4g+. I wanted to get Note 7 pro but for me this issue was deal breaker. How is that with Note 8 (non-pro)? Can someone share\do some test in this connection?

Redmi Note 8 (Ginkgo) has CA support in India. I have been using past 5 days. And no issues in call and data. It have few software bugs. But internet speed is good. Check their product specs page.

You can take a look at the bands supported by honor 8 pro and then what bands the networks use there. [emoji4]

None!
Unfortunate! Honor 8 supports At&t I guess. I really liked Honor 8 pro. But this is a deal breaker.
i m also looking for US network compatibilty and found at below link it supports 4g LTE band 5 and AT&T also works on band 5.

I m new to this so can anyone confirm this phone will work IN US AT&T??
Does anyone getting CA/LTE+ support on their RN 5 pro. Its mentioned on their website that device supports CA/4G+, but m not getting the CA support in the area where I used to get it on LeMax 2.
Same problem here with the redmi 5 plus.
According to miui forums, carrier aggregation with bands 3+7 doesn't work with xiaomi phones.
This seems to be a bug that has been going on for years with xiaomi phones, and xiaomi doesn't seem to be giving any feedback on this issue.
If you can get some feedback from xiaomi, please report back here. Thanks.

I thought the CA is volte support. Do you have global version and what country are you in?
CA (aggregation of multiple bands) and volte (voice over lte = the connection won't switch to 3g during a call, but remain in 4g) are two different things. Volte works with as well as without CA.

Well it really depends on your location. Other unlocked phones may give you better coverage because there available bands/frequencies, they may have more supported bands on your network. Myself..I'm missing volte band and I'm getting only 1 lte band. On mi mix 2 I have 4 lte bands. Are you referring to voice or data when you say coverage. How many lte bands does your carrier support for your device

redmi 6 pro support carrer aggression LTE-A cat6 supported but not getting 4+ in my location jio sim support 4g+ my another phone mi5 pro is getting it but redmi 6 pro not getting 4g+ both device have same network features how to fix this problem
HI,
I operate a Note Pro 5 in the UK on the plusnet network which uses the following bands / frequency's. I use the global ROM
800MHz band, the 1800MHz band, the 2100MHz band
Iam not having much luck with the 4G speed / connection. Iam wondering if that's because the handset does not work with these bands. No point reformatting my phone only to find out if the phone does not work with these bands !!!
Thanks
Mathew
It should work fine, as they use EEs network. I use virgin mobile that also uses EEs network and its fine. Have you tried amending the APN settings?

Yes you are correct Virgin and Plusnet both run off EE but its not that simple.
EE only allow some bands to be avalible for resale the ones I have listed are what Plusnet use.
You have pointed out something I should have done!!!! I have removed the APN and started from scratch I will try this for a few days and see what happens.

So from what I've read plusnet don't seem to offer the 800mhz frequency (EE/virgin do), but if your Redmi Note 5 is the global version it will work with all UK 4G bands (including 800 or band 20 if its available from your provider). Usually band 20/800mhz travels further and so tends to be used more in rural areas to help improve coverage. Were you connecting to 4g OK before or have you just changed to plusnet or just got your RN5?

Yes I thought that but have had conformation directly from Plusnet that they do use the 800mhz range
@MathewRB
Global version of Redmi Note 5 supports all frequences You mentioned. The only problem is that it doesn"t support carrier agregation (LTE+) which can lead to slow data acces when the transmitter which Your"s phone is connected to is clogged
