I was over at Taiwan Mobile and the employee at Taiwan Mobile showed me their LTE Bands for the new S6Edge and for the new HTC ONE M9. The coverage on the HTC ONE M9 is pretty shabby compared to the LTE BANDS offered on the new Galaxy S6. I was impressed with the number of bands that they offered.
LTE FDD Bands covered are 01,02,03,04,05,07,08,12,17,18,19,20,25,26,28
LTE TDD Bands covered are 38,39,40,41
Pretty much if you travel between America and Asia you are well covered with 4G LTE speeds

Yes. China, Hong Kong and Taiwan all using G9250. Same model. It actually supports CDMA 800Mhz too. So it works with China Telecom in China.

Those are the 3G frequencies for T-Mobile US, so maybe Dell is producing only 1 version and that is what Clove expects they will get,and its quite possible the 900/2100 bands will work fine in Europe but that will have to be confirmed.

Naw with T-Mobile you definitely need 1700. Guaranteed. I spent a lot of time googling it.
But oh wow, clove edited the frequencies on their website to 900/1700/2100. That is amazing. I could buy it from them now.

At&t lte is nothing to sniff at. You get throttled after 2-6gigs which is about a day's usage on LTE..

You are right. Chances are that they wont be compatible with ATT LTE bands.
Even verizon and att are not compatible.
Verizon and AT&T both run their LTE networks in the 700-MHz band. But Verizon's network is mostly in 746-787MHz, while AT&T's will be primarily in 704-746MHz.
There will be a smalll band where they overlap.
So if we can find out what LTE bands korean phones are then , we can decide.
However since LTE Is not widely available, people will still have to depend on 3G.
So 3G compatiblity is must too..
EDIT : just found out that LTE band in korea is in the 2.3GHz region. SO NO COMPATIBILITY.

Ok but does it have T-Mobile HSPA+ compatibility? Because that would be good enough for me. Need a Note with 1700 band.
Any confirmation on what processor the LTE version is using? If it's the same 1.5Ghz Snapdragon that is in the Skyrocket I wouldn't want it for driving the high resolution Galaxy Note.
So i am considering buying this phone, but I have only 1 concern about lte on this website: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_230088.html it says that 4f bands are only:FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz, so will it work in Canada?? I checked http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/ and It only compatable with 2100, no 1700 is it fine if I only have 1?
Help please!!!
Bump!!
Bump!

Any canadians??
I have ordered the international version and I did some research and basically the bands are dependant on what your network is broadcasting on. If you google what frequency/band your provider is broadcasting on then cross-reference it to the ones supported then you'll know if it works.
- Peace BreadC
Carriers use more than 1 band cause the don't have full coverage with only 1 so sometimes you should have LTE coverage and sometimes don't , I'm in the same dilemma the phone is really good but not having the LTE bands used in US is a deal breaker, I'm waiting to October cause its supposed to be officially released to the US and maybe they'll release a revised version with the LTE bands used here.

Can you check it? Three use 1800 band and have launched their 800 band recently(not wide spread at the moment) which would improve their indoor 4G coverage, EE already use 800/1800 bands,
I think you can probably check in the service menu.
Mine hasn't come yet, I got scammed on zukphone.cc by a PayPal account called [email protected]. PayPal are investigating but my Dad has a OnePlus One and he has 4G on Three so I can only assume it will work.
Any Canadians bought it???

Afaik, the "international" version of the phone is identical to "chinese" version. Only difference is OS preinstalled (Cyanogen OS for international). So basically, it should work in EU, Asia, Australia etc, but not in the US or Canada (of course depending what bands you need).

Oh, I thought I've read somewhere that the International version will sacrifice some of the TDD-LTE bands for more of the FDD-LTE bands, so besides the OS difference I also expected different bands support.
Anyways, the specific band for the network I'm using doesn't seem to be supported. And it's one of the top 3 providers in Canada.

Just an FYI Canada, isn't the USA.
Also, probably, the phone has so many bands, they are as follows for the North American Edition:
Code:
GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS/WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8
CDMA: BC0/1/10
LTE (FDD): B2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/30
LTE (TDD): B41
CA DL: B2-B2, B2-B4, B2-B5, B2-B12, B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-B29, B4-B4, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29, B41-B41
Correct me if I wrong but there has never ever been Canadian version of Nexus. There are only 2 models, international and the US.
If he buys international it will have European bands by definition. So hence I'm confirming the US model bands.

LTE/4G will be a problem
Agreed, the US version has less bands than the international version. It does not have band 8, which is what most of the UK's 4g network runs on. There are a few exceptions, but most of them work of band 8.

Thanks for the response.
I know that here in Ireland Vodafone (my carrier) use both band 20 and band 3, with band 3 usage being more recent. I am doing my research at the moment but am hoping that if I get a US Nexus 6P I will be able to use it here with Vodafone LTE on band 3.

US Version and International have the same amount of bands just different ones. No one in Europe runs on band 8. UK runs mostly on 3/7/20. So most likely you will get LTE coverage from your carrier unless you're with O2 or Vodaphone since they only support band 20.
US: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/30
International: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/17/19/20/28
Use an app like LTE Discovery to see what band you're using in your most frequented places.
