I purchased the Xiaomi Mi A1 in Thailand and get a solid 4G signal on the AIS network. I'm heading to the states this summer and I was told that this phone may not have the proper radio bands to connect to 4G in the states. Is anybody using this phone in the states and what has your experience been? My first choice is TING and my second choice is Straight Talk.
I bought the Global version and I'm in the US and using it on Ting currently it supports band 4 LTE
I have the "Global" version and get 4G with T-Mo...on band 4.
That's great news, thanks!
I have the global version on Cricket and get 4G.

Hi
I have Xiaomi Note 4G (China Unicom version) but I am unable to use it on FDD1800 band on Zong 4G network in Pakistan. I have a 4G SIM that works perfectly with my LG G2 D802 and Huawei E5375 (CMCC).
On the box its written both LTE TDD and FDD and it does show 1800 band but when I force it to LTE-Only using Phone Testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*), it goes to no service.
Is there a way I can test the phones capability regarding LTE FDD1800?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shoaib

I just got my redmi note 4g yesterday, And as ar as I can see, in the Upper left corner it writes "Carriername 4g". So that should indicate if it works.
Diferent version of redmi note 4g?
hello,
I'm thinking of buying the terminal , but I have a doubt
Viewing Page Xiaomi singapore , hongkong and taiwan offering a 4G LTE version band frequencies LTE 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 , but I see in different Chinese pages to buy it appears redmi note 4G LTE but only with frequencies LTE 1800/2100 .
Anyone know if there are two LTE versions as might ensure you have the frequencies that advertise in singapore, hongkong etc.
Thank you .
there are 2 versions of the phone. One that is domestic China 4G and then there is the export version that supports FDD-LTE/WCDMA/GSM. I am running a 4G version in Hong Kong and its fast. Not a huge diff from my Sammy Note 3. For the price its like giving it away. Only thing now is how reliable it is. Sammy is super reliable.

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.
My friend will get an Mi A1 from India and plans to use it in Sweden. Is there any difference in the Global Mi A1 and the Indian Mi A1? Does the Mi A1 in India support 3G and 4G frequency bands in Sweden? Just want to know about the network coverage of the Indian model in Europe , especially in Sweden .

Don't do it. The Indian model supports different LTE bands (3,5,40,41) and especially lacks support for the vital band 20.
Apparently all networks in Sweden (Tele2, Telia and 3) use bands 3, 7, 8, 20 and 38.
Band 20 is usually the most deployed one in all of Europe, as it allows higher range per BTS/cell tower and is therefore cheaper to deploy. It's especially used outside of urban areas. Either way, in the best case you're gonna be stuck with LTE in urban areas only. Based on personal experience I can tell you that owning a phone without B20 support is no fun in Europe, although I can't relate it to Sweden.
I suggest you get it through one of the Chinese resellers instead, such as a certain site with a name close to "best gears" *coughcough*...
It's true that band 20 is widely used in Europe. But is there really an Indian A1 version without it? A proper Android One A1 and not a 5X with A1 ROM?As I understood it, but I could very well be wrong, the A1 is only available as Global.
Either way, check the specs and make sure band 20 is covered and you're good!
Edit: Seems I was wrong! There seems to be an Indian A1 without band 20. http://www.mi.com/in/mi-a1/specs/
I have heard mixed things about the LTE bands that the Mi A1 supports. Can anyone clear this up for me - will the Mi A1 work on T-Mobile or AT&T or any of their prepaid or MVNO counterparts WITH LTE? I seem to only get 4G at best.
TIA, cheers!
