Yeah, the North American version will work on the four major in the U.S. with full LTE support.
Carriers will likely still lock the device (except Verizon which keeps their phones GSM unlocked)

Oh no I'm sure AT&T and the like will lock theirs but will the one sold by Google and Moto be fully unlocked and able to be used on all major carriers including sprints? [emoji39][emoji39]

when you say "global model" is that in a sense like a Nexus phone can be bought from any shelf and have any sim inserted into it and work?

Yep. It'll have the bands.

T-Mobile will likely remain unlocked, they have in the past with the N4 and the N5, I do not see any reason why they would start doing things differently for the N6.

There are 2 versions of the Nexus 5. One that Works on most of the carriers in North America. Another that works on most of the carriers, everywhere else. Typically called "international". The 6 will be similar.

The US Model will also work with MANY international carriers.

[Q] Xperia 6606 unlocked supports which bands?

I'm looking to get a T-mobile 6606 Xperia. If I unlock it does it support any other LTE bands? Which bands will a unlocked 6606 support and how does it differ from the international version?
Thanks.

The c6606 is only carrier unlockable.ie you can't change the kernel or anything like that. Although I currently run straight talk with no problems.

AT&T VoLTE

Does anyone know if the Nexus 6 sold through Google Play will support AT&T LTE, and VoLTE for that matter? I am in an HD Voice market and my mom's iPhone 6 can make calls over LTE. Of course AT&T's website says only the 6/6+ support this. I also can't seem to find any information about whether or not the Google Play Nexus 6 will support AT&T band 17 LTE. I am sure it does. If it does, what is the incentive to buy directly from AT&T?
Hopefully someone can clear this up for me. This looks like a great device.
I believe I saw B17 in the list. I'm sure it will connect for ATT. The VoLTE is unknown right now, as far as I know anyway. Hopefully the reviewers getting them will include that information. The hardware could certainly handle it. The question is if the carriers are letting it connect up. I don't see any reason not to, VoLTE is good for them. But they ARE carriers...
The chipset supports VoLTE, but whether it is enabled or not in the ATT firmware IDK. Lots of devices have supported VoLTE already, but almost none have the feature actually enabled.

B17 is listed on Motorola's N6 Site under Specs: www motorola com /us/Nexus-6/nexus-6-motorola-us.html#nexus-6-specs":
Code:
Americas Model (XT1103)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800, 1900, secondary 800 MHz)
WCDMA (1, 2, 4, 5, 8)
LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41)
CA DL (B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B29)
Currently there are only a few devices that have VoLTE enabled (and only in a couple of markets), not to mention that both devices (calling and receiving) have to support (and be enabled) for HD Voice to work.

Very small different then in terms of bands.
THANK YOU!!!
It seems I can purchase either then
Hmm.... although now I see there's a N920 model as well. Probably different LTE bands as well.....
Yes, first the N920C did get the marshmallow update, also your going to get Samsung pay, but your going to get carrier bloat ware homever you can disable it with package disabler pro. Also you get better reception in USA and Canada. N930I comes without any Carrier bloat ware, you have better reception in Asia or Oceania . Also you may get a bit better battery life (a bit noticeable).

Hey,
Just doing a bit of research. Wanted to get an unlocked version either the N920C or N920I so I can use it on AT&T.. I would get the AT&T variant but I hate carrier branded/modified software and additional bloat.. From what I'm understanding, either should be fine but the C variant comes with bloat correct? I've seen a lot of people using the N920I model and have had no issues and says it works great.. What carrier are you on?

My network is a Canadian one called telus. And works ok, some low reception from time to time (3G) and also the c model got marshmallow something that the I model didn't get.

Exynos Note 8 on Verizon?

Is there any Exynos note 8 that will work on Verizon? I really like the unlocked dual sim one but it doesn't have an CDMA support, but would it run LTE only on Verizon? Will it do VoLTE on Verizon?
Are there any Exynos Note 8 that have the CDMA bands to be able to run on Verizon?
Also the reason I want the Exynos is so I can run ASOP on it or as close as I can anyway. Are there ASOP ROMs that maintain the unique features of the Note 8, IE all the S pen stuff.

Note 8 really isn't the phone for you if you're looking for an AOSP ROM that retains all the S-Pen features.
Firstly, AOSP is far from d aily driver material on the S8/S8+, so I wouldn't expect a decent Note 8 build in the near future. It'll take a while.
Secondly, Verizon will work as LTE only on the Exynos Note 8 since it doesn't support any of the CDMA bands, VoLTE probably won't work due to the lack of a Verizon flashable CSC.

Kinda what I've gathered, flashing ASOP, even if it were stable, would cost me the main reason I would want the phone for.
So let's throw rooting out the window. Is there a dual SIM Snapdragon version that will work on Verizon? I have a work phone that runs on ATT and it would be nice to only have one phone to carry.

There is a Dual SIM version with the SD835 chip, but it's the Chinese variant.
Won't work with Verizon and probably won't work with AT&T either.

Well, technically they shouldn't have the required bands for th US, only for HK/China.
AT&T may work, with some tinkering, although I can't guarantee anything and Verizon is probably hopeless, the HK variant does support CDMA for China, not sure if it does for VZW.
Sent from my SM-N950F
If the specs are to be believed they should have one CDMA band that verizon uses, whether or not it's the one they use for calls I don't know. Yeah sounds like a big risk on a thousand dollar phone.
This issue is my dilemma. I actually got a Hong Kong Note 8 primarily because for the same price of the item in US without taxes, I get Deep Sea Blue, 128gb and Dual Sim
On to the technical part - Verizon uses bands 2/4/13 for LTE. If you would look at Samsung Hong Kong Note 8 technical spec page, it lists
4G FDD LTE
B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B13(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B20(800), B25(1900), B26(850), B28(700)
This is quite conflicting with a website's information (techwalls[dot]com/ samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences ) on Hong Kong/China units which states -
4G FDD LTE: LTE Cat16 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 28, 29, 30)
4G TDD LTE: B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
At any rate, I can always shift to T-Mobile if ever my phone won't work on Verizon. '^-^

Essentially, if it indeed supports the required bands of your desired provider, it should work fine. If you end up deciding to root it I'm sure you can flash a Verizon CSC as well which may give you any missing features such as VoLTE, though I have absolutely no knowledge or experience with Verizon.

Tencent version vs global version

Thinking of grabbing the 12gb ram version. Any reason to get global over china version?
Global not out until late Sept but im waiting re band differences. great site https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/AU/asus-rog-phone-2
Some folks have said that bands 66 and 71 will be supported in the Intl version. I hope that’s correct.

Same here. If I cant use volte, that's a no go for me
It seem the 12gb ram Chinese Asus rog 2 have more bands than the 8gb ram one. Can anyone verify? Has the 12gb ram been release in China yet?

Here's the information for the two Chinese version. IMO the 5999 version is same as intl version except Chinese firmware.
GSM/GPRS/EDGE; WCDMA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+;TD-SCDMA; CDMA 2000;FDD-LTE; TD-LTE Same
LTE Cat13 UL up to 150Mbps / Cat16 DL up to 1.0Gbps vs LTE Cat18 UL up to 211Mbps / Cat18 DL up to 1.2Gbps
DC-HSPA+: UL 5.76Mbps / DL 42Mbps same
LTE DL 5CA same
Unknown vs Support 4x4 MIMO and CA w/ 4x4 MIMO
FDD-LTE band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 adding band 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 29, 32, 66
TD-LTE band 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 adding band 46
WCDMA band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 adding band 6, 19
TD-SCDMA band 34, 39 same
CDMA band BC0 same
EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz same
And the information on ASUS taiwan website shows that taiwan version have no TD-SCDMA nor CDMA 2000. Other are same with the Chinese 5999 vision.
Thanks. So band 66 but not 71. Ugh, that’s a shame with T-Mobile, especially with the Razer Phone covering band 66 and 71.
Edit: /facepalm. This phone can actually go on any carrier, so just have to see if any make sense.
So then is the 512gb tencent no good for Verizon? I tried Razer 2 but they said even if it has the bands to work on Verizon, they may have deleted support to get ready for 5g. Had to send the Razer back and I really want the rog 2 but I'm tired of losing signal with att where I live so I'd really like to get the correct model, if any that support verizon
I'm on T-Mobile as well, so I definitely need to know if this device supports volte in the states
I contacted Asus North America to ask if the version we get will include bands 66 and 71. I mentioned how it would be a huge selling factor for those of us on T-mobile. They responded that that would forward it to the product team.

They'd be stupid not to. Unless they like losing money. I know if it doesn't support those bands, it's not even a question anymore, I won't be getting it

Same. Where I'm at, 66 and 71 are crucial for me.
Tencent chinese version does not include EU/US bands..
