As the title says, will the international One X+ include LTE?
I haven't been able to find this information anywhere.
It will, however it wouldn't be compatible with the LTE network being set up in the UK.
Is there not a UK specific one because i was hoping to get LTE on it :/ One of the main things about a new phone

As much as I'd love LTE here in Europe HTC haven't confirmed EU LTE support and the UK are still behind in LTE radios so it wouldn't really make a difference.
it will no be able to be used in the uk so will be just the 3g am afraid
I am not yet convinced that the international version will have LTE. The page expansys has up for pre-order is likely the international version and it doesn't list LTE.

From what I can see, it seems that there will be two versions of HTC One X+, both the same, just one of them is going to support 4G
My spider senses tells me that the first one coming out will be the one without LTE and an LTE version will be due on a later date.
What do you guys think? Even though it seems like the specs has been published, do you think the international LTE version will be a reality.
And on another note, I live in Denmark, not UK, but I guess we use the same 4G standard.

Yeah I agree with you here, LTE will come later, HTC seem to be in bed directly with individual carriers, and creating LTE devices as required for these people directly. Which is fine, but if they are going to create an international model, it would be good to be international.
HTC's model is very annoying and frustrating. Why don't they just make an international model that works internationally with all carriers and technologies like ALL other great phone manufacturers, then removes all the double guessing from everyone. To make it even more annoying, the spec just state that it has LTE, doesn't list bands or anything, and almost every phone website has conflicting specs for this phone, including here. I am in need of a new phone and am holding off because I am completely confused and unclear of the specs, here it states LTE, but which models? just AT&T???
If there was development for the j butterfly I would be buying one of these from Japan, the first truely international HTC device.

I'm in New Zealand and i use telecom XT network (umts 850mhz) so obviously the at&t version will work fine. I also perhaps have the opportunity of buying the umts quadband version (850,900,1900,2100) which would probably not have the same restrictions as the at&t 4G.
However, from lurking here i can see that there seems to be more dev happening on the 4G, is this correct or would i be better off with the vanilla quadband 3g version? (im not 100% sure where the local stores source these vanilla phones from)
One day i might change to another provider in which case i would need 900 umts but if there is more chance of getting more bang for my buck with the 4g i will go that way.
Yeah it would be easier just to buy a galaxy 2 but its big and cheap feeling and i just dont trust samsung build quality or gps as much as the Moto.
thanks in advance.
the 4G is a marketing term from AT&T. its just 14mb HSPDA+
Whether a local version vs AT&T version is worth it, that is up to you

Yep i understand that the 4g is just a marketing buzzword. What i'm asking is to me it looks like the vanilla phone appears to be identical hardware just with an extra 3g band? Also which model is likely to have the better dev support and moto support if they do decide to unlock the bootloader for certain ops?
Is the atrix 4g only sold on AT&T or are other operators also selling htis elsewhere in the world?
I'm just wanting to make sure i buy the model with the best support moving forward as it has to be a keeper for a while. I've flashed the absolute hell out of my milestone and sadly realise that due to the ram its never going to amount to much more.
Hi, I am living close to Europe and am trying to find the Galaxy S II LTE. I have heard its not planned to be released in the US anytime soon but that it is (has?) planned to be sold in Eur. I know that Rogers (carrier in Canada) will be supporting this phone but i get the impression that it will be locked phones only for Rogers customer. Does anyone know of online places that do/will carry unlocked versions of this phone? (in Eu, US, or Canada)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
-Gaiko
you're going to have to end up waiting until it's released in your region. it doesn't look like any region (americas/europe/asia) are going to be sharing LTE bands.

What about non LTE? That is, using the rest of the phone in various areas. I ask because I travel most of the year so using the phone just in one place isn't an option for me (so the LTE aspect is less important to me).
I'll wait for Galaxy S3, it will have the NFC chip (beside the usual hardware upgrades).
I really don't care about download speed on a phone, but I'm very pissed that Bell will relaunch the S2 LTE with an NFC chip. The only think that makes it up is the screen size, 4.3" is the max I can use and the new LTE phone will have a 4.5" screen. I still cannot believe Samsung pulled a fast one like that on all of us and removed the NFC chip last minute.
I am currently on vacation in the United Arab Emirates, and I would like to purchase the One X+ here. I live in the US and have service with AT&T. All the stores that I talk to here say that the version of the phone they carry has built-in LTE. According to wiki, however, it seems like only the at&t model has an LTE radio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_One_X).
Do these stores know what they're talking about? They have working phone display models, but there isn't an LTE network in place here yet for me to verify whether the phone has it or not. Any other ways that I can check?
AW: [Q] Is there an international version of One X+ with LTE?
no LTE for International HOX+
The SOC one x have gpu at 520 mhz seem one x+ ???
Telus one?
no
Nope, there isn't. I live in the UK and the only LTE version of anything remotely similar to a One X+ LTE version is the One XL, it's the International version of the One X in America. There is no One X+ XL or anything. Besides, LTE is really not all that. HSDPA+ is good enough for me.

Lol, sounds like they want to just sell u a phone. If you're going to be gone for awhile then wait til u get home and maybe the new HTC M7 device will be out and maybe with tegra 4. No, USA and Telus version phones are only with LTE built in.
I've been looking around for some good deals on a off contract HTC One. I'm currently on AT&T but I've noticed T-Mobile and Sprint HTC One's seem to be selling cheaper. I've read that all HTC One's have the same hardware including radios, but what about the LTE bands? Is there any difference between the carriers? And would I first have to unlock another carriers branded phone in order to get it to work on AT&T?

I'm pretty sure the T-Mobile One will work with AT&T's LTE network. Not sure if you need to unlock the AT&T or T-Mobile Ones to use on each other's networks. You can't use Sprint on anything but Sprint's network. Sprint uses CDMA and AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM networks.
You should get a T-Mobile version of the One, that is the best version to get. It will support both AT&T and T-Mobile LTE bands, plus regular AWS 4G on T-Mobile. You will need to have it SIM unlocked to use it with AT&T, eBay is where you can do it.
From where I am, socal, on CL everywhere, the AT&T version is always cheaper. T-Mobile version is harder to find and usually costs more.

Thanks for the answers. Good to know a T-Mobile phone will work should I purchase one.

Curious as well, can someone give solid proof of all bands? I wouldn't want to just fall back on word of mouth when purchasing a phone based on this info.
Thanks!

No only t mobile not sprint or version bit you could get int version
I saw a couple of tech points in the other threads. I myself have purchased the Att variant and planning to set it up with T Mobile but as I said, someone pointed out that they have different cellular banding or something to that effect. This person went on to say even if we were to get the ATT Gear S version on T Mobile that speeds would probably only be 2G.
From the articles that I've read on the Gear S specs I haven't come across anything saying that Samsung has designed specific versions for each U.S. carrier.
I do not have the answer at this time whether or not full cross compatibility is built into the device or not. Purely going by what has been announced, again I do not think it has been modified to keep us from doing carrier jumps.
I will update when Tmobile gets their networks up and running for the Gear S. If anyone can clear this up with for sure information, please do so. Feel free to speculate but if you're not certain please say so. Thanks.
If I can't get full functionality on the TMobile network with my ATT purchased and unlocked Gear S, I guess I'll have to return it and pony up the extra $50 that TMobile charges and fully join that club. Guys it may not be worth the hassle. I'll have an update soon on how all this works out, however I'd like to welcome feedback on the issue.

Im doing the same thing tomorrow.
You can go to Samsung.com to check out the official spec. There are 5 different carrier variants but only three listed so far: AT&T (SM-R750A), Verizon (SM-R750V) and Sprint (SM-R750P). The missing two are T-Mobile (SM-R750T) and US Cellular.
Each listed different supported network (CMDA vs GSM) and bands.
It has the Snapdragon 400 which supports a HUGE number of bands and supports a global mode for both CDMA and GSM.
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/400
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/wearables/samsung-gear-s
Someone will figure out a way to get the device to work with them back and forth ... it may be through a rom or a command line. But if you aren't a tinkerer you'll probably want to go with the version of the watch for your preferred carrier.
Update: I did a search through the FCC and didn't see one with T-Mobile specific bands (1700/2100). Bad news though is that there definitely are two variants for CDMA AND GSM. Argh. I stand brutally corrected!
