Get into bootloader from adb, can't remember the key shortcut.
There you should see your phone region, and model name, mine is US/BR version.
Once you noted that go check the global asus site, right on specs page they clarify which bands are supported.
Just as a reminder, the phone might support the network band but may also face sw issues about it too.
Mine did, was unable to connect to band 4 LTE even though it was supported.
After about 2 weeks of this trouble and inexistent company support, Asus came out with an OTA stating that it would fix network issues, gave that a try and thankfully it solved the network problem.

No, unfortunately it does not have the band b20

According to frequencycheck.com it does support B20(DD) for the "Global" model.
It's worth checking for your particular region as frequency support varies depending on global region.

D802 - Compatibility with LTE Networks

Hi,
I'm about to buy a LG G2, but first I need to see clarified one situation:
Is the LG G2 D802 European Version compatible with LTE networks working on 800MHz (Band 20) and on 1800MHz (Band 3)?
I have this doubt because in GsmArena.com informs it is not compatible with 800MHz but in LG.com/es informs it is.
If someone could clarify this doubt, I'd be eternally grateful!
Best Regards,
Rui Sousa
my D802 supports 800/900/1800/2100/2600

So, have you tested, and your D802 works on LTE networks based on 800MHz and 1800MHz frequency?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Rui Sousa

Thank you.
That doubt was because my Mobile Operator covers my house with LTE on 1800MHz and covers my weekend house with LTE on 800MHz, and I need full LTE coverage.
Now I'm more rested and ready to move to acquiring the LG G2 D802.

I think yes because elephone P8000 is using same processor and it has FDD-LTE 800mhz support ... I had to buy a elephone p8000 instead M2 Note

Redmi 3s with lte?

So there is a version of the Redmi 3s and 3s prime that is sold in Mexico that supports 4g lte (called only 4g in here)...
I was wondering, does it have different hardware? Or were the antennas for mexican 4g already there and activated via software?
I'm really confused on the subject and can't find any info as to why some xiaomi phones work with mexican 4g(Which uses some bands that are also used in the us).
I'm considering buying this or the 4 prime and was wondering if there could be a way to activate global lte on the 4 primer later on.
I was also wondering if I NEED to buy the phone in here to be able to use the 4g or if I might be able to pick up a phone from aliexpress and have 4g too.
Hope someone can help me with this info
The hardware is different but you can also get the LTE (4G) version for Mexico on Ali Express.
In Mexico you use LTE band 2 (Movistar: 1900 MHz) and 4 (AT&T,TelCel: 1700 MHz). So when you want to buy a Redmi 3S on Ali, make sure you buy the Xiaomi Redmi 3S Special Edition. It supports the LTE bands needed in your country.
!!
Thanks! =)
I was reading on sites that list the specs of the device but couldn't find anywhere that said that it supported lte bands 2 and 4 so I was quite confused. Thanks a lot.

4G+ on Redmi 4 Prime (?)

A guy on MIUI forum unlocked B40 on a Redmi Note 4X (Mido) and now he can use 4G+, it's possible on Redmi 4 Prime?
About B20, it's possible to unlock it or it's a HW limitation?

Well, the SD625 already support 4G+. idk if the software that's disabling it or doesn't have the module to support it. Does your area have 4G+ coverage?

chinese version vs global version

I got a question . I am from Romania and i bought the chinese 6/64 version of Redmi Note 7. Will the 4G work in Romania? My network provider is Orange. How can i check this info?
Are the chinese and global version same when it comes to supported 4G bands?
And the second question is if you can install the global rom on a chinese version of Redmi note 7? Will the B20 for 4G be automatically unlocked when installing the global rom? Those accepted 4G bands are a software or hardware thing ?
Thanks in advance.

check this out mate, it says here that the Chinese RN7 with LTE band B3 and B7 will work on Orange Network.. here's the link if you need all the info's regarding RN7 technical specs and comparisons. just navigate with the page and you'll find your answers:

B20 is available to Global version but not in Chinese variant..
Unfortunately, changing ROM won't change the modem ability to connect a band that it is not designed to manage. So, yes it is a hardware issue. The modem of the CN version of the Redmi Note 7 is probably able to manage the B20 technically speaking, but it doesn't have the proper embed instructions to do so. I have read some posts about flashing the modem. It is sometimes possible (when there is no hardware limitation), but honnestly, it is not something you can envisage to do by yourself right now, and until someone with good skills does it and share the method (if someone decides to challenge this someday...). The instructions are coming under binary codes. This is a real quest!
Buying a cellphone that doesn't manage the B20/800MHz in Europe is really a bad idea. B20 is the golden band in Europe, since this frequency allows the most performing penetration indoor, and offers the best distance range (about 15 km around the antenna communicationg on B20/800MHz versus barely 5 km around an antenna communicating on B7/2600 MHz). While using your phone in big cities, you will probably catch a B7/2600MHz or a B3/1800MHz signal on your network. But globally your experience won't be good. In many places where your friends using the same network will have a good signal, you will sometimes have a low signal or just no signal (or a switch to the 3G network). For example, when I check my LTE info right now, in a very dense area (Paris, where my network operates from B3, B7 and B20 antennas), my phone is connected on the B20. For sure, if my phone didn't manage the B20, it would connect alternatively to another available band. But if it "chooses" the B20, it means it's the best signal, so.... And now, imagine when you go to the countryside, where there are lessa ntennas, without being able to connect the antennas running the long distance range frequency... This can't be better.
Good luck, though.
