Hello,
I live here in the USA and bought a nexus 6p. I will go back to Germany soon and my question is, if there is any chance that the lte band 20 will work there with modified firmware or if it maybe just works how it it even if it's not listed. I cannot believe huawei put two different chipset in the na and the international version.
So is there anyone that tried a US nexus 6p in Germany, especially in the 800mhz band 20? Band 3 and 7 should be supported anyways.
Many thanks in advance
Marco

Carriers in Romania, like much of Europe, use bands 3, 20, and 7. The only band the Nexus 4 has is band 4. So, in short, no, you won't get LTE in Romania with a Nexus 4.

Orange uses 3 and 7. Telekom uses 3. Vodafone uses 3 and 20.
All this is irrelevant regarding the Nexus 4 though, because as I said above, the Nexus 4 only supports band 4.
I was planing to ask my friend to get me a Nexus 6p from US and bring it over to Europe and I was wondering if there are different versions of Nexus 6P for US and Europe (with different sets of LTE bands ) ? Will I have a problem of using it with European GSM bands (specifically the LTE/4G) ?
Thanks

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.

This, it's also missing band 20, which is used for 4G networks in the Netherlands and most of mainland Europe as far as I know. Basically a US Nexus 6P won't work on 4G/LTE in Europe.

Ahh, ok then :/ That was my shot to get this phone cheaper, it's ridiculous how expensive it is here compared to US .
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.
Crossing fingers,

Where can I find more info on these various nexus 6p variants?

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.

hi all, I have just purchased the awesome oneplus 2 locally BUT didn't realise that it is the Chinese model until i got home.
Unfortunately I am with Vodafone UK and 4G doesn't seem to work, so i was hoping someone had an idea on what i can do with regards to this?
Would flashing a radio help? Thanks in advance

Vodafone UK uses Band 20 & Band 7 for LTE & the Chinese OP2 (A2001) only has Bands 1, 3 & 7 enabled.
So, if you're not in a Band 7 area (very limited ATM), you won't be able to use LTE.
Flashing a radio won't help as the three different models have different bands enabled in hardware.
Only the European/Asian version (A2003) has Band 20 enabled.
Ref:
EU/Asia (A2003)
LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
North America (A2005)
LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
China (A2001)
LTE: 1/3/7
ah ok thanks for the reply mate I appreciate it, looks like im either stuck with the device on 3G until band 7 is rolled out or see if anyone local wants to swap ha
About to move overseas and looking at a phone to take with me to have working as soon as I throw a sim in it. My question is, if I purchase a Axon 7 from Best Buy will it work on the bands throughout the UK and Germany? Thanks in advance for any help.
I don't know which bands the US-version of the Axon 7 supports but in Germany you will need Band 3 and 20.
3 in crowded citys and 20 on the countryside.
7 is also assigned but mostly unused (only by O2/Telefonica I think).
These Bands are supportet by the European-version:
TD-LTE：Band 38/40/41
FDD-LTE： Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/19/20/28AB
UMTS： Band 1/2/4/5/8
GSM： Band 2/3/5/8
The retail price with taxes included in Germany for the Axon 7/4GB764GB is 449€

The US model has the same GSM and HSPA bands as the European/Global model (as well as CDMA support), and LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/20/29/30/25/26/41.
So the only difference between US and Europe model is the charger plug and warranty? the devices are 100% equal?
I am from Canada and want to buy 2 of the note 7 or note 7 pro. one for me and one for my son
I see global versions in aliexpress but the bands don't exactly align with local carriers, does anybody know if one of these will properly support north american carriers or will we need to wait longer for a true global version?

The global version should work fine with most GSM carriers in North America, like T-Mobile and AT&T, although some individual bands might not be available in some areas.
However, you must be careful that you're actually getting the global version of the phone and not the Chinese version with a global ROM. There is a big difference between the two. The global version should work fine in North America, but the Chinese version (with a global ROM) is a different story.
The proper global versions will work fine on GSM carriers. The bands that are missing are the 700 MHz bands, but with bands 2, 4, 5 and 7 covered you'll be fine unless you are using something strange like Freedom Mobile in Canada.
