Every phone support 3G
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app

All have quad band 2G
D6603, D6633, D6643, D6616 have penta-band 3G.
D6653 and chinese models (L55t, L55u) only have quad band 3G(1/2/5/8), missing the AWS 1700mhz band 4.
LTE, you'll have to look at your network and see which bands are more important and are supported

The 6603 has more bands than this! For LTE that is.

If you look at the manual it says 4G.

(if you are saying 4G = LTE, then yes)
but LTE is a lot more fragmented than 3G (penta band will cover almost all networks), 2G (quad band will cover almost all networks)
that's why it makes sense to say: quad-band 2G & penta-band 3G support = cover most people

Does'n it affect anything else?, I know the bands are hardware related, so it could be nice to flash a 6603 rom. I'll try that. thanks :good:

Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to unlock LTE band 4 on D6653? I need to use that band with my carrier and the phone doesn't include it.
Thanks

NO, bands are not unlockable, they are HARDWARE, so, wichever rom that you flash, they will keep you the same bands.

I don't see why not.
D6603 and D6653 have exactly the same hardware. Bands restriction can be lifted if those restrictions are by software.
Edit:
Flashing another ROM might not lift bands restriction, but manually editing system props might do the trick.
Have a read of the link I posted.

Is there a way to know which bands are usable on my phone?

Is there some app, a command, some setting, something?
have you ever tried look at yours mobile manual or search in googles fot its specs??
Thx for the crappy answer.
If i change my firmware or baseband those options change. I want to know the actual bands my phone can operate.
It don't change. If you have E15i you must flash E15i baseband and if you have E15a you must flash E15a baseband
E15i : UMTS HSPA 900 (Band VIII), 2100 (Band I)
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

I know to many this is a stupid question but I always buy phones from carriers, never bought an unlocked phone. So...here goes..
Which version is best for Tmobile US LTE and HSPA+?
So, this phone will basically only work on ATT and Tmobile in the US?
Also, if you buy unlocked from Sony and activate on Tmobile and Sony releases an update do you get it directly or have to wait on Tmobile to release it as you would if you got it from Tmobile and not Sony?

Hi,
for anyone that is interested THIS wikipedia page lists the majority of carriers worldwide as far as I can tell. Using this information and the information droid102 has posted should answer most questions regarding which phone for which carrier.

D6603 and D6653 difference??

Hi all!!
I had a Z3 as an upgrade from my carrier, but in the short time I owned it (4 weeks tops), some idiot in the Gym dropped weights on it and near as damn it snapped it in half!
Sadly I had no idea till I got home and checked my bag, so couldn't collar the idiot!
So iv had to claim on my insurance, but they don't stock Z3's.
This means they have given me cash to buy myself one, which is fine with me haha
BUT, when I'm looking online for a new Z3, in getting 2 different codes for them, D6603 and D6653.
Is their any difference?
If so, which should I go for!
Cheers for your help
Keith
The differences are their network capabilities:
Datasheet:
D6603
UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20)

Were in in your shoes, I would just get the same one I had before, to make sure it's compatible with your carrier's frequencies. You can just check your box to see which one it was.

How many Happy users?

How many of you are a happy buyer of MX6? and completely satisfied with what Meizu provids? :angel:
good to see there's MX6 section in XDA
Want to figure out how many LTE bands are supported on this model?
This is the information posted by PhoneArena.com on July 14,2016. These are the supported 2G/3G/LTE Bands for the Meizu MX6:
GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS:
850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz
FDD LTE:
800mHz (band 20)
1800mHz (band 3)
2100mHz (band 1)
2600mHz (band 7)
Nano SIM: Yes
Multiple SIM cards: 2 slots
Looks like all you get is LTE Bands 1, 3, 7 and 20. Hope this helps.
MX6 has a really nice hardware and a slick design. Also assembled very nicely. It is strange how little popularity it has.
But software side is really poor.
I need a video tutorial or a pictured installation guide to install a global rom to my rooted device which it has a 5.2.2.6A rom. Can anyone help?
