GSM Bands Supported on Kenzo - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Does the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version support the 850mHz gsm band? I have found contradictory information. Where I live in rural Costa Rica my phone does sometimes fall back to 2G and my provider uses 850mHz.
Thanks.

You should have no problems using Snapdragon version of Redmi Note 3 Pro.
It should work for 2G. 3G, and 4G LTE in your country for any phone carriers there except for Tuyo movil, 4G LTE bands/ frequencies isn't supported for that carrier, although rest is fine.

Noob question: Note 3 Pro and Koodo(Canada) bands

Hi, the Note 3 Pro is stating the following frequencies for LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz and according to Google, Koodo is 1700/2100 MHz (AWS). Only 1 of the frequency matches, does that mean that the signal reception will be bad or not working at all? Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you!
The Note 3 Pro works perfectly fine on Koodo. I didn't have to config anything with the APN and such, just popped my sim card in slot 1. Haven't had any issues.
IT may work as you say, your more than likely speaking of 3G. . . What about 4G LTE ?
I know that Fido/Rogers are not using the same frequencies so it's not exactly an answer to your question but with Fido I got strong LTE signal everywhere I went so far.

There are three versions, the one you found, there is one with band 4 (1700), and Kate special edition with band 4 and a bunch of others.
You need the one with band 4 or Kate or Lte will be really spotty and won't work indoors at all.
I have the the one with band 4 and LTE works really well with Bell. All big 3 carriers use band 4 (1700) Lte.

I have the Kenzo model from Geekbuying. I get LTE on Koodo.

Will the XT1526 work in france/germany?

Officially it doesn't have the bands but neither does it for Wind (in Canada) and it has worked fine for me!
I'm wondering if anyone has brought their sprint version to Europe and had it connect to 3g?

It does have the bands for WIND in Canada. HSPA Band 4.
The US models (like the XT1526) only have the 3G and LTE bands used in North America. In Europe, you'll only get 2G EDGE.

When I checked willmyphone work it says the sprint (xt1526) won't work here but it worked just fine on wind. Hoping the same thing will happen across the pond

willmyphone is notoriously wrong.
It worked on WIND because Canada uses pretty much the same bands as the US.
The XT1526 has quadband GSM, but only HSPA on 2/4/5, and LTE 2/4/5/12/17/25/26/41
Germany uses HSPA on Band 1, and LTE on 3/7/20.

Wind is the same band as only t-mobile. At&T etc phones usually won't work which is why it was a surprise

What is Le Max 2's LTE A category?

Anandtech mentions it is LTE-A Category 12 (600 Mbps)
Some sites mention it is Category 6 (300 Mbps)
So what is it exactly?
With the new Non-HLOS.bin shipped with 17 S, there ist no cat 6 LTE , only 150 Mbit cat 4. The + sign at 4G sign doesnt appear
So should I go back to Indian 16S ? I am aware Indian 17S or 18S is on the verge of getting officially released. I prefer the Chinese 17S because battery is absolutely brilliant after removing the bloat. Indian 16S has horrible battery and standby time.
How to check the LTE-A ? I'm on CN 16s, in Malaysia (CA Band_3_7).
Whenever my phone show 4G+, then phone signal will drop for total no signal, can't call or data (Searching mode)

CN 16s and older ROMS are worthless for LTE. Try with Indian 16S.

Cannot tell as my operator is going to start CA soon in my area. People are saying that Indian 16S supports CA while Chinese 17S and below do not support CA.

If you get a chance please post your modem version. Thanks.
Snapdragon 820 has X12 modem (category 12 LTE up to 600 Mbps). I have had 4G+ for ages (in Japan on OCN Mobile One, an MNVO on the docomo network). However, as it is an oversubscribed MNVO my speeds are never great and even when getting a CA (4G+) signal they don't really change. My current firmware baseband version is as per this screenshot:

Unfortunately even on the same base chipset some of the radio params are up to the OEM, depending on what band combinations LE have programmed CA may work with some networks and not with others (eg OCN might be using 20Mhz x2 in 800Mhz while ThreeUK might be using 1x 15Mhz on 1800Mhz and 1x 15Mhz in 800Mhz).

Yes, obviously availability of CA depends on carriers and on the LTE bands available to the device. Not all bands are turned on for our device so some people some places are going to be SOL. In the case of OCN the carrier aggregation is probably working with bands 1 & 3 I guess (the other bands OCN use are 19 & 21, which are not available on the LeMax 2).

Ok so far then:
272-05 Three Ireland B3, B20, B8 Not Working
272-01 Vodafone Ireland B3, B20, B8 Not Working
440-10 OCN Japan (NTT) B1, B3, B19, B21 Working
Probably should just google what bands CN Mobile use for CA, that'll be the only thing LeEco will bother to implement in the baseband.

CA is strange. My friend has a Moto Z Play he bought direct from Motorola Japan. He is using OCN, same as me. His Z Play has the same available OCN LTE bands as my LeMax 2 (B1 & B3) and Motorola say it is CA compatible, but while I get 4G+, he doesn't. And another friend has a Japanese version ASUS Zenfone 3 and he gets 4G+ on another MNVO using same docomo network with B1 & B3. So it seems to be a bit of a lottery depending on your device & your region & carrier.

Compatibility isnt straightforward as its also dependent on resource blocks or RBs. Some radios can handle CA 2x 2x20Mhz and some might only manage 2x 2x10Mhz. Thats why reading the RRC messages between tower and handset is useful as OEMs dont release the full config that their UEs broadcast.
Snapdragon 820 aggregates 3 frequencies (3CC). I never managed to force him to do it, but 2 can (2ca).

Does Redmi Note 4 SD work in US?

I would like to know if Redmi Note 4 can be used with US carriers? I am moving there and was planning to buy a phone
Redmi Note 4 Supported Bands:
2G bands GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 3(1800), 5(850), 40(2300)
US Supported Bands:
2G capabilities GSM 850, GSM 1900
3G capabilities UMTS 850, UMTS 1900, UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100
4G capabilities LTE 700, LTE 800, LTE 1700, LTE 1900, LTE 2100, LTE WCS 2300 (30), LTE 2500
Doesn't look like it but I wanted to know, since some users have claimed that they are able to use 3G despite the band being unsupported.
Get the ZTE Axon 7, Supports USA bands. I wish I did. To answer the original question. The note 4x works on at&t in the US, only one band. Band 5, sucks. So its not as fast as it could go but it at least works slow.
I have a Redmi Note 4X international edition and I'm running on the T-Mobile network. I'm in Utah. I couldn't give you the detailed channel info but you can always check the site http://willmyphonework.net/ it's a pretty good site to check phones against networks. That's what I did before I purchased my phone.

Don't know. I don't have a data plan.
I'm using the Redmi Note 4 global edition on T-Mobile and I get LTE on band 4.

Where did you buy it?
Is the LTE just as good as any other phone or is it ****tier in some way?
I don't understand why more people don't use them here if they work just as good, since it's clearly the best phone out there under 200 bucks, as far as I can tell.
I ordered a global version, but I still don't have any confidence that it's gonna work based on what little information I can find on the internet.
I'm on T-mobile US, using a Redmi Note 4 Global, and I've had no issues with it. Good LTE speeds, but I can't get VoLTE to work though.
Screenshot of my speeds here: http://imgur.com/h7So6Sj
yeah, I've been looking at apps like LTE Discovery the last couple days, and it looks like there's plenty of Band 4 in town where I'm at, so I guess that's good. Usually the places I go when I go out of town have no lte anyway so I doubt I'll be missing much.
I don't mind not having VoLTE since I use like 10 minutes of voice calls a month and I don't think my current phone uses it anyway.

T Mobile Bands?

Just wanted to clarify if Xaiomi devices support 4G LTE bands on t mobile? I don't think it does, but want to check, maybe Poco different

Network
2G: GSM B2/B3/B5/B8
3G: WCDMA B1/B2/B5/B8
4G: TD-LTE B38/B40/B41(120MHz)
FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20
Tmobile usa needs 2,4 and 12. So no.
I believe this version does have the needed bands?

my mix mix 2 supports them but i believe the mi mix 2 has more band support than the poco
