Hi, greetings from your home country
Here you find all specs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4 - Samsung Galaxy S4 on Wikipedia
Would be really interesting to hear from an mobil expert which LTE bands are really supported!
In Germany we have band 3 (1.800 Mhz; Telekom) and 20 (800 Mhz; Telekom, Vodafone, o2), eventually also band 7 (2.600 Mhz, all 4 provides).
See www . smsmich . de/Mobiles-Internet/lte-frequenzen . php - Frequenzen in Deutschland.
Only the KT device (SHV-E300K) seems to have this or a very similar config.
If this matches I'd be very interested in this device, too!
Maybe you can report on "investigations" and prizes?!?
Yours tholau
Hi,
I'm about to get SG-S4!!
I read through the forum, didn't find a sold answer if SHV-E300S with Exynos 5 (Octa) will work with LTE in US!
Can anyone please let us know...
Thanks
It won't, the bands aren't supported. It won't work in the EU either.

If you want to:
-Pay 200 dollars more expensive(import tax + local seller commission)
-Have a bigger size(korea version is thicker than us one) and have stupid korea restriction(sms limitation, etc...)
-Take a phone who only support Korea 4G frequency and imcompatible with all other country
You can surely go for this version. No problem!!!

I'm using a app called SKT Hidden Menu with my SHV-E300S. You can change the network channels to work in the US.

Hi, since you have the korea version, please show us more pictures about its size, what difference does he have other than the fact he get overclocked processor and compatible LTE? Some physical difference? Bigger than us one? Thicker? Some restrictions? Do you mean that with your app, you can use 4G LTE in the US and in other countries? Also where did you buy your phone? How much does it cost? Thank you.
The overclocked processor settings was dropped before it's release. It's now 4 cores at 1.6 and 4 cores at 1.2. I'm guessing because of heat issues.
Just doing a backup will make the phone heat up quick. Plus, the battery life isn't good.
I should have waited two more months before buying a S4.
I too want to have the octa core S4 with LTE to use in the US and don't want to settle for anything less. Some sources say that the S4 Exynos octa-core supports 20 LTE bands, but often responses from people say that the Korean LTE S4 won't work with US LTE bands. Wiki contains some info on the S4 and LTE bands but I'm a noob so it's not clear to me why it is a definite no for LTE in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
SHV-E300/ - Korean with 3 variations: K, L and S
K: GSM, DCS
L: CLR, IMT
S: CLR, DCS
GT-I9505 - International version
800, 850, GSM, 1800 MHz, IMT, IMT-E
SGH-I337 - AT&T
700 MHz (Band 17), AWS, IMT, IMT-E
SGH-M919 - TMobile
700 MHz (Band 17), CLR, AWS, PCS, IMT, IMT-E
I'm targetting to use the S4 on Tmobile LTE. So according to that info Tmobile supports 6 LTE bands, some of which are also listed under the K, L and S variations of the Korean S4. To me that sorta implies that Tmobile LTE would work, but then I'm a noob and not sure how that works out. I don't know how reliable the Wiki info is so it'll be great to know. I've also seen sources that say the Korean S4 supports LTE bands 1/4/7/17. The info are scattered around and carriers don't specifically release these info so that makes things even harder.
But assuming the wiki info is reliable, if you can explain how it works or not work would you please enlighten the rest of us. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I'm about to get a S4 on ebay that is this specific model: GT-I9505ZKABTU
Problem is I want to use it in Brazil which requires LTE band 2600MHz.
I could not find anywhere the specifications on LTE band for this model.
Could you please provide that info?
Thanks,
Z
9505 is sold in Brazil - should be no problem with that. But: I'd recommend to ask this question inthis thread - better chances for reply.

SM-P605 (EU)
SM-P605M (Brazil)
If anyone on AT&T gets a P-605M please post your results. I'd sell my P-601 and get a P-605M if it in fact supports AT&T's LTE bands. "700MHz" is a pretty broad swath as it's used by both VZW and AT&T. AT&T's specific 700MHz band is "17" while VZW's is "7." So 700MHz doesn't guarantee compatibility with AT&T. The difference in 700 MHz bands is why VZW and AT&T devices can't be used across their respective networks.
anyone out there who can help please do.
Hi Guys,
I will travel to Shanghai in 2 weeks. I was wanting to know if there was anyway to be able to use LTE in China by using a local Chinese sim card? I think I read that their LTE bands might not be compatible with the SM-N9005. Is there any way around this? Or will I need to settle for 3G connection? I think I read that China Unicom might have a compatible 3G band with the phone.
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
