i just found out my phone is actually a x820 and not a x829.
some custom roms report a different/wrong model. thats why i created this thread.
i'm trying to collect what the real difference between all the le max 2 variants is. please help me to add information, share your knowledge and findings and correct me if i'm wrong.
remember, this is a work in progress.
so far:
hardware seems to be the same beside the amount of ram and rom. it could be a difference in the radio hardware for at least the x829 devices, not verified yet.
shops sometimes list different specs for the same variant, so tread with caution.
some sellers even advertise the le max 2 with nfc wich it undoubtfully has not.
you can turn missing bands on in dfs tool but the phone wont connect to that bands.
it's still unsure if it can be done or if the radio hardware is different.
please report:
- phone variant printed on the backside sticker (x829 only) or on the box
- ram/rom/colour
- band 20 marked in dfs tool (screenshots welcome but cut out your imei etc.)
- band 20 working in real life. (how to test?)
- band 20 activated with dfs tool and working/not working.
- ... tell me what else.

Your phone is a x820 model. The x829 has FCC certification information printed on the back of the phone. All known x829 models we've seen so far wee gray, while yours is gold.

Did you flash another Rom? You Phone isn`t a X829. I'm wondering about your signature: "Gesendet von meinem Le X829 mit Tapatalk " When youre Hardwareinformation says X829 it is just possible with the flash of a wrong (but not bad) ROM.

must be the case.
i never read anything else then x829 but this morning i was in doubt and went digging for the sticker. x820 is printed on it. i'm sorry, i didn't meant to spread misleading information. that's why i started this thread. hope for more information to come soon.

scroll down, it's printed on packing.
its mostly the ROM which specifies the phone model and hardware is the same for all variants other than memory specs, x829 was supposed to be released in US officially, they even had specific ROM for x829 which was removed from xda for some reasons; https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/x829-5-816s-t3426119

Le X820
Advertised on amazon (purchased) as Le x820 4/32
Using "LTE discovery" from the play store it shows I'm using band 17 ( AT&T) I'm in the Midwest U.S. for LTE
I'm not 100 percent on this, but I don't think we use band 20 in the states..... ?
Ever use willmyphonework.net ? I've found that its pretty reliable source of info on carrier/models supported.
From what i have read before buying my max 2 is that its mostly the same phone ( besides ram/ROM size), variant model numbers just point to marketed regions. @A.N.Droid

i have already installed the app and will test later today when i have service.
on my private sim i have 3g only, for work i believe it's lte too. i haven't checked this yet, new job -new phone.
i unlocked band 28 in dfs tool just to see if it sticks and it does.
i believe it is not used by any carrier here in germany yet but maybe in 2018 some will use that band, not sure if it's true.
band 20 is definately in use here in germany. it's used for longer distance, if you live away from bigger cities.
you are right, band 20 is not in use in the us.

I refuse to believe, unless we shed some light on it.
Would you be so kind to post pictures of box and lower back side of the phone?
Interesting thread!
I order myself a x829 allthough we live in Spain .
For what I have been reading in other threads the difference indeed might be in the 4G bands , the x829 not having the 20 band since it is not used in US ( as such x829 would be for US market)
The main question thus would be if it is just a matter of software enable/disable (which could be arranged with DFS) or is there really a hardware difference...
Will post findings once I get phone
Cheers

Is it safe to flash this global stock x820 ROM on this page?
It doesn't look like I can flash without TWRP.. I'm a bit confused with the whole thing.

I am opening this thread with the intention of enabling a discussion among the North American users (current/prospective).
It appears that Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon variant) is the logical choice for north american user, as it includes few of the 4G bands.
So, how is the network experience with the major cell phone carriers? Which firmware/rom includes those bands? AOSP/Global/China? Does VOLTE work?
I have been using the RN3P for the last couple weeks. I am in the Florida area in T-Mobile network, and really happy to see that I get 4G LTE most of the time. It's the band 4 according to the LTE Discovery app.
I have tried a bunch of different roms, including global stable, aosp and developer beta. I have observed that the network is much better with the developer MM roms. I am currently using the Epic ROM based on the developer rom, and I think I shall use it as my daily driver.

Connected to LTE with Rogers and Koodo (Telus Band 4 AWS). I ordered the china model which shouldn't have included Band 4 (if you believe the information on all the china sellers sites), and confirmed it's not Kate model as it is only 150mm tall.

That's good to know. There are so many variants of this device, it's really confusing. I ordered mine from Gearbest last week, who knows when it will show up. The problem with these Chinese retailers is that sometime they themselves don't know what they have. I guess I have to see what I get. I just hope that mine also supports band 4, which T-mobile in USA also uses.
Are you still using China firmware? Does the china model come with Google Playstore?
http://willmyphonework.net/
most networks will work on the note 3 Snapdragon version (kenzo).
the Kate or aka Note 3 Special Edition model supports a additional 'band 20' which afaik is not used in the USA (someone confirm?)
the Mediatek note 3 Hennessy most likely doesn't have good usa network support
so make sure you get the kenzo or kate model, though I would stick with kenzo since the kate doesn't have as good of support or accessories

Mine came with Global 8.0.1.0 installed, prerooted, and unofficial bootloader unlock. I flashed official 8.0.1.0 global from tgz file, which then relocked the bootloader. I have done the official unlock with the same 8.0.1.0 official stable with no problems.
It came with Google Playstore, and some gapps (not all).
Anyone tried AOSP roms in north america? Does it also get the lte coverage?
I have heard privacy concerns from many people MIUI roms. May be rumors, may be not. But I don't wanna take the risk.
Can anyone compare the performance between MIUI and AOSP roms?

I have seen a video on youtube where he compared it with a iphone speed, and it got around 100mbps (the iphone beat it by a few mbps) , but it's definitely capable of fast speeds, though it probably depends on the network / bands, single strength and local isp speeds...

I have on hand experience with Umi Super. Which carrier you are on? With T-mobile Umi Super had really poor data connection. Barely got 3g, I couldn't even stream a YouTube video. I don't think it has any north american band. It's a decent phone for the price, but do your research first.
In Florida with T-Mobile network, using band 4.
I recommend changing the default apn settings to fast.t-mobile.com one, which better result for me.

I'm interested to trying out Xiaomi , but seem like they don't have T-Mobile band 12 why? Huawei, ZTE, even the new company LeEco have band 12 and Xiaomi doesn't?
The Mi Note 2 Global Edition does have Band 12.
There are a total of three variants: 4GB RAM, 6GB RAM and another 6GB RAM variant which is specifically labelled as the Global 4G+ variant. This particular variant has the following bands:

So in theory this could work on Verizon as well? Now THAT would get my motor running.
any idea from where one can buy global edition phone?
answering my own question
geekbuying is selling global edition for 634 usd.
ibuygou is selling for 625 usd
Eudirect.shop is selling for 600usd

mi mix is available for pre order 637 usd @ geekbuying and 625usd @ibuygou. however they are not global edition not sure if xiaomi has any plan to release global edition of mi mix. current phone edition will not work properly on US LTE network it will only work on slower data network (2g/3g)
XIAOMI Mix would be quite a experimental phone, IMO, better sit and watch how it works first.
Only Mi Note 2 have bands that might work in the US...Mi Mix don't have it....luckily i not from/living in US and i can use the MI Mix without having to worries about bands
Does anybody know what bands supports usual version (not global)? Does it support LTE band 3 for example?)

According to IBuyGou:
Frequency:
FDD-LTE:B1/B3/B5/B7/B8
TDD-LTE:B38/B39/B40/B41
WCDMA:B1/B2/B5/B8
TD-SCDMA:B34/B39
GSM:B2/B3/B5/B8
Also a small note on the Global edition of the Mi Note 2: While it does support Band 12 for T-Mobile, you might not get VoLTE support on that network. Possibly something that one brave buyer may have to experiment and find out.

Mi Mix should work pretty well on T-Mobile LTE USA as it supports LTE bands 2 and 4.

i Swore I read somewhere they were also releasing a global version of Mi MIX let me see if I can find it ....
who knows i'm probably wrong
Hoping this is the first step in the direction of releasing US based devices. I like the price point and specs.
Both the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and the MIX use a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip though, no? Unless I'm mistaken, the frequencies are locked out only on a software level, not a hardware level - I'm sure I've seen a few threads where people have manually added additional frequency bands to their devices to work in different regions of the world (at the risk of bricking their phone, but that's standard disclaimer stuff).
Wouldn't it be possible to purchase a Xiaomi Note 2 or MIX, and then just 'unlock' the bands that they say are not supported?
I'm in for one as soon as available, not happy after giving up Note 7...that was most awesome device. This looks a lot like Note 7...so I'll bite for 600ish

Just choose global version which supports all bands
For those who are wondering about this phone in the US. I have this phone (Global Edition) and have had it for about three months now. I used it on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon it worked no problem! I had AT&T originally, and it worked fine and even got band 30 in some areas. In my area AT&T speeds were horrible, so I switched to T-Mobile very briefly they had terrible coverage in my area. So I switched to Verizon. I use this phone all the time and get excellent speeds with it. I hope that helps.
Hi everyone, I'm in need of some help. I'm looking to buy the Mi Note 2 international or Global LTE edition but it appears all the sellers in China say that edition is sold out. So I looked on eBay and found a few listed but am having trouble to confirm the item for sale is in fact the Global LTE device.
One seller sent me a picture of the back of the Mi Note 2 box but I'm not 100% certain what I see there is the Global LTE edition.
Here is the photo, is this the Chinese only edition or the Global LTE edition???

FWIW & not spamming here,a legit response/possible solution:
I have a Global MiNote 2 in good condition (closer to mint,just being conservative,w/all the LTE Bands) listed on Swappa. :good:
This is a warning to all buyers of the Le Max 2 X821 sold by banggood in october / november 2018 with 4/64 GB!
They sold some sort of patchwork phone with bodies of X821 / X820 with suspectful having internals of X829.
Reason:
- Le Eco aka LeTV never build an X820/X821 (for the chinese or indian market) with 4/64 GB - the only model having this combination was the X829 for US
- LTE band 20 is not possible to connect (tested with several SIM cards)
- LTE band 20 cannot be activated (tested several firmwares)
Please test your device and report please!
Suggested app for testing: "Network Signal Guru" from playstore.
1. Root device
2. Start app
3. Grant root privileges to app
4. Tap three-dot-menu (upper right)
5. Select "Lock bands"
6. Select "LTE"
7. App shows usable bands
--> Please post results
Thanks!
I think I bought one of them.. I thought something was weird with the device model and firmware.. Well.. at least it works in my network.. Might get rid of it though as it has the camera problem..
I bought one of those too.
how to do the testing for the actual usable bands to be sure?

Start this app, grant root priviliges. Then tap upper right three-dot-menu.
Then select "Lock bands", then "LTE". After this the app will show the usable bands. Please post result here (screenshot). Thanks.
I got the following bands for my "X821": 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12 and 17 (20 is missing).
For comparison: On my bq M5 I got all bands usable in germany: 1,3,7 and 20 (800 MHz)

Are you referring to this: https://www.banggood.com/LeTV-LeEco...8.html?rmmds=search&ID=46149&cur_warehouse=CN ?
But if you scroll down to specs you'll see this:
4G: FDD-LTE: B1(2100)/B3(1800)/B7(2600)
TDD-LTE: B38(2600)/B39(1900)/B40(2300)/B41(2500)
I do not see B20 listed there.
Plus, Max 2 for $130 with 4/64 GB?
That should be a raised red flag, considering the fact that a year ago *real* X821 3/32 GB was selling for $180-190.
Can you return it? I would.

Yes, I am referring to this. Until yesterday evening B20 was listed there. As I am new here to xda I cannot post screenshots... sorry
Thank you for your warning. :fingers-crossed: I was about to buy this at banggood (same link) and immediatly refrained after seeing your post.
after checking:
1. there is no LTE band 20 in this phone (and yes, when I ordered the phone it had band 20 in the product specs, now removed)
2. only one sim slot is working!!!! NO DUAL SIM!!
3. the box is fake, including the sticker with a production date of 07/2018
4. the charger is only 2A charger compared to the original 3A charger of the X820/X821 I have
the rest of the phone specs are comparable to my other X821, the roms work. it just seems the screen is slightly different in quality. The phone is definitely fake, possibly from the same factory than the original.
I have noticed that charger is not original, but other than that it looks legit.
Both sim slots work and i have 4g , probably my provider has other 4g frequencies too, i use 3g for battery anyways.

What kind of problem has it with the camera?

The focus problem. Clicking noise while is trying to focus and many times won't focus properly. Hit and miss. That's in stock ROM. Any other custom ROM is worse

I seem to have luck. Camera is working perfect on my device. But I will check dual-SIM, because other user wrote, on his Le Max 2 it does not work.
I would not call it fake if it is really x829 instead of x821, it is still better than refurbished or real fake. As i remember x829 was more expensive than x820/821, cdla earphones could not be the only reason.
Charger is leeco but i do not know for which model it was for with 1A, charger for my old x600 was 2A.

No earphones included here! I've two of these fake devices with band 20 missing. Band 20 is still an important band in Germany. There is a reason why different models exist. Calling something fake is absolutely legit in this case if someone (banggood) flashes the firmware to pretend it's another device and sells without pointing to this circumstance. I will even go that far to call it a fraud.
Well, I have bought my phone from banggood during that period (rose gold, as it was the only colour available), and two SIM cards work fine in this model, have installed LineageOS 15.1 and it works beautifully and it supports fix for camera focus (pictures are really nice). I have not been able to check B20 yet, though - but I have trusted specifications and I may confirm, that it was listed there, as otherwise I wouldn't have bought this phone. So, it is another example how tough it is to trust the Chinese merchants...
Network Signal Guru lists following available LTE bands on my phone: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12 and B17. Indeed, B20 is missing and what about B38?
Frankly, am very confused - why does Network Signal Guru not list B26, B38, B39, B40 and B41 (sure, they are not used in EU at the moment but shouldn't it be reported by NSG)?
There is a site, which I have relied on - https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-leeco-le-max-2 - and it is supposed to show, which phone supports this or that. Now, I am really confused... Sure, that phone is cheap and runs nicely - but nobody likes being lied to.
About Dual Sim: the preloaded rom allows data only in the first slot
Flashing any other rom from XDA solves that issue.
After checking band 20 it turns out the phone does not have it.
We have been fooled by BangGood or is it rather BangBad?
Dear Yerry,
I have LTE access almost everywhere in Poland, but only LTE bands B3, B7 and B8. I am not able to verify, whether there are areas where only B20 is available - and whether my phone would support it. But you cannot, alas, presume that if you have good LTE reception - it means, that B20 is there. There is a nice utility, 'LTE Discovery' which does not require root to report, which LTE band the phone uses at the moment. You may then have a look at its log, and verify which LTE bands were available - you can check there, if your phone has ever switched to B20. Mine has not, however. But, as said above, I do not know much about B20 availability in my country - so can't really tell. Gruesse.
Bought One to replace my old Galaxy Note 4. I check that I stop having 4G coverage with my current operator (Vodafone). This only emits LTE in the B20 band in my locality. So it has no B20 band. We have been deceived by Bangood.
Does someone have screenshots of a X829?
Would be intresting wheter it matches the fake version.
The official Xiaomi website suggests the Mi9T supports LTE FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28. However many sellers have told me that their Mi9T does not come with Band 28. My understanding is that the box itself doesn't show the bands of the phone but the booklet inside the box does - thus perhaps confusing some sellers.
So, my questions is, does anyone have a definitive answer if all Mi9Ts have the same bands and more specifically, do they all come with Band 28 (700Mhz)?

I want to know this same exact question.
Because here in Brazil many resellers don't know if it has or not the band 28 (700Mhz).
Yes the "Mi 9T" version have B20 and B28, 100% sure cause it is written on the "phone's little book" xD
Xiaomi make different phones for different regions with different Bands. We can't rely on their website either. It says that the Redmi Note 7 has Band 28 but the RN7 has 3 different variants, only one of those has Band 28.
My question is whether the Mi9T is like the RN7 with different bands for different regions or whether all Mi9T have the same bands?
Just use the App "Cell Info Lite" in different places. It will show you the current band of your Mi9T.
I got Mi 9T from Hong Kong that came with the HK/UK charger. it has B28. I have confirmed it works.
The MI 9T global device has band 28
I am asking if ALL Mi9Ts have Band 28. Many sellers don't list the bands for the phone and other sellers say it doesn't have Band 28.
GSMA claim that (unlike other phones like the Redmi Note 7 which has multiple variants) the Mi9T only has one variant which has Band 28.
Does anyone know the official answer?

I just got my Mi 9T from TobyDealsAU today, and the booklet says it has band 28, but in the cell info app band 28 isn't appearing... When I put my sim in my Mi Mix 2 it connects to band 28 instantly, bit disappointed...
Maybe it's something to do with MIUI Global, going to try flash Xiaomi.eu in a week when I can unlock it, still disappointed though
Straight out of my instruction manual in the box
1/3/7/8/20/28/38/40
which is not accurate because it supports band4 too. I guess since it's made for Europe they don't list it there. The best way to find out is to check FCC or similar regulatory bodies with the device ID.

Ok, I looked up on FCC. Mi 9T https://fccid.io/2AFZZ-XMSF10G
If you look at the LTE reports, it has approve cert for these bands.

I don't know if that's conclusive since band 28 is Asian maybe FCC doesn't test that. Overall I'm guessing this device doesn't support any 700Mhz band like 28 or 12 etc.
