Has anyone in the Uk tried the Redmi Note 3 pro on Vodafone UK 4G? I was about to buy one till i noticed that it doesn't support 800MHz but it does support the 2600MHZ. I want to know what the signal is like one the 2600, is it any different to the 800 before i buy one. Thanks

Hey, kind of an odd question for these forums, but I am running out of options! I have been searching high and low for a North American version of this phone that operates with the 850/1900 UMTS/HSDPA. Everywhere I find it, it is for Europe/Asia: 900/2100.
Anyone know where I can get the 850 version reasonably priced? The ONLY place I have found it is expansys, and they are very overpriced. Thanks for any help!
HTC Tilt 2 - AT&T
I bought HTC Tilt 2 - AT&T and it has this frecuency.
Regards.
Basically as the title suggests........possibly being a bit dim, but would prefer confirmation that I am about to buy the correct/best model for UK use.
There are 2 sim free models, which do I need...?
The 2nd one appears to me to be "The One"
Can someone please confirm this for me.. I am buying today
Presumably you do *not* want to buy the cdma one... You should buy the one that is compatible with the t-mobile network if the UK is the country you're going to be using it in.

Choose the model that was first released, it works perfect on Orange and O2

And T-Mobile UK
If you plan on traveling to North America, the 850/1900 UMTS network here is bigger than the 1700/2100. If you plan on traveling to Asia and I think Australia, there are a few networks that use the 900 band.
It doesn't matter which GSM model you get if you are only counting UK networks.
My query revolves around the google ordering site, both options appear pretty similar...
Initially I thought it was option 2 I needed but now it doesn't really matter, if I understand the replies above. I will mainly be UK based but will be in Europe occasionally.
3G is essential for obvious reasons.
1. Compatible with 3G on T-Mobile (U.S.)
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (900/AWS/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
2. Compatible with 3G on AT&T (U.S.) and these wireless providers in Canada.
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
Get the one that as originally released. I have one & am using it on O2 UK & work great. No issues.

Argh.....this is my question ?? which one is that from the choice of 2 on the google site.
I have seen you post in a couple of Forums and from what I have read they say get the T-MOBILE version, that is the BEST for T-MOBIL UK O2, that is the first one released,

At last.........thanks for being clear and to the point.
Although both versions will work perfectly fine in the UK (all UK carriers use the 2100 UTMS band for 3G), it really depends if you ever plan on using it abroad.
Europe, Asia, Africas and Oceania (everywhere else but Americas basically) you are better off getting the 900/AWS/2100 "US T-Mobile" version as most carriers use 900/2100 band around the world.
Americas (both North and South) you are better with the 850/1900/2100 "US AT&T" version as the majority use the 850/1900 band.
I myself have the 900/AWS/2100 version because most of my usage abroad are either in Europe (France/Italy) or in Asia (Hong Kong/China). You can check the frequency band usage yourself at Wikipedia so you can lookup your favourite carriers if needed.
Which version will the UK get, the Exynos 8core or the snapdragon 800?
What atre the clock speeds of each and which is the more powerful of the two?
Any Other differences between the versions?
Will the UK variant (unlocked) be ready for all uk 4G basebands?
Samsung have stated that countries with LTE networks will get the LTE variant, and that means the Snapdragon 800. So that's what the UK will get.
There's loads of discussion of relative performance of the two models and other differences on this forum and on other sites, so I won't repeat that.
As far as I can tell there will be only one version officially sold in the UK, whether through a network or SIM-free. In theory that should mean that a SIM-free phone will work on any 4G network, but whether it really will is the key question! Personally I am going to let other people buy them first and try it out before I buy myself. It shouldn't take too long. Also, there may be teething troubles with the O2 and Vodafone 4G networks having only recently been switched on. There were reports of some S4 LTE models sold by O2 not working on the O2 4G network at first.
Hi Guys,
I purchased my note 3 from a guy for really cheap and it turned out to be SM-N9005 LTE version from HONG KONG!! it only has 16gb hard drive too
I've also found out that LTE doesn't work in Canada with Asian version - Can anyone confirm this?
Tethering also doesn't seem to work... is this an issue only the HK version is having or did anyone else bother trying this?
Thanks
Well, that is to be expected, as the Hong Kong LTE bands are 1800, 2300 and 2600, and the Canadian ones are 1700 and on a rare occasion 2600. Your provider uses an LTE band your phone can't see. There's a reason that phone is only available in China...
Hello there!
I reside in the UAE and recently bought a Note 3 4G LTE SM-9005 (Snapdragon Variant).
I will be moving to Chicago, USA and wanted to know if I will be able to use the 4G. I see that T-Mobile supports 2100MHz, 1900MHz, 1700MHz and 850MHz. The international Note 3, the one which I have supports 800MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz. Seeing that I support one band, will 4G work on T-Mobile? Also, will 3G work? And if so, will the dual 3G work where I get 2 streams of 21MBPS?
If not on T-Mobile, will any other carriers work?
Thanks in advanced, Zain.
PS. I have read other forms but seem to get two answers, some say it will work and some say it won't. Just wanted some clarification.

I use my SM-N900W8 in Hong Kong and it is nearly, if not exactly alike as the SM-N900T. I can say that even in HK I get 4 - 5 bars of LTE, and worst case scenario I get 3 bars of 3G/H+
I also used an N9105 - Note II LTE, with the exact same bands as the SM-N9005 (the one you have), but the problem was that I couldn't get enough bars as my N900W8 did. The phone got really hot when it searched for reception (as it was usually at 2-3 bars), whilst at the same spot, I would get 4-5 on my N900W8. So to answer your question, yes, they should work, except your reception would be lower than an American banded phone.

Snapdragon is not the International version, your title is confusing. International version is Exynos and has no US LTE.

Actually, international is N9005, Snapdragon.
The Exynos edition is only being sold in select areas. Most people here use Snapdragon as it is easier to get, but most N900s are found in India. Hong Kong would only sell international phones, unlocked, and they are all N9005.
Regardless. If you have the 9005, you have the Snapdragon, and it should come with LTE, but may not contain the right bands for the US as Neo said above.

Region doesn't matter in fact I got my device from France, but had Hong Kong firmware on it. Later to get KitKat I flashed Poland firmware.
as for the bands T mobile mainly uses 1700MHz so you won't get LTE doesn't matter if you change the APN, I tried. You will get HSPA+ which isn't horrible, its enough to watch HQ YouTube videos.
idk about ATT though when I looked it up I remembered it being able to, but now that I look at doesn't look like it can...
