Dear all,
good afternoon.
I'm here to know if someone knows if it's possible to use my smartphone with band 7 LTE (2600) FDD. As far as I know this version only supports band 3 LTE (1800) but the European version has support for it. Right?
Do you know if putting the European ROM can solve this? Or there is a hardware limitation of the Chinese version?
Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
Take care,
Rui
2600MHz is supported by EU Honor7. It is conditioned by structure therefore you can't just replace the system of Chinese model with EU and have it.
I got the dual sim chinese Honor 7 and it supports FDD 1800-2100 .
I don't know why i can use 4g since my carrier uses 800-2600...

Which carrier? Available information shows that almost all providers cover 2600MHz LTE. Exception is Nextel, which runs on 1800MHz, which is supported by Chinese H7. And there is absolutely no information on LTE 800MHz in Brasil.

Then this is a totally new information. If you have the Chinese Honor 7 and LTE on SFR, it should indeed support either 800 or 2600MHz.
It's not recognizable from any known specifications though. And having been in Austria I can definitely confirm that my phone doesn't work on LTE 2600.

Mine doesn't work at 2600 FDD LTE either. Unfortunately I'm using Oi's carrier in Brazil without 1800 FDD LTE support. Yet....
Hi all,
I'm considering getting a Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon version/Pro). I'm a little confused about the bands that it supports. When I check wellmyphonework.net it says that the Global model will work on LTE Band 4, but the China/Unicom one will not. Looking in the forums I see Global and China Roms, but nothing definitive about separate physical models.
Is the hardware all the same(ignoring RAM/Storage variations)? Do the supported bands depend solely on which ROM is installed? If there are distinct hardware versions is there any way to tell which one I would get from ebay or AliExpress?
Thanks in advance.

The lte band support is hardware dependant, software doesn't matter.
I've bought mine with China global and lte is working fine in Europe.

That's simply not true. The SD650 supports Band 4 which is what he's asking about. Europe doesn't use Band 4 and all the versions support European lte bands. On another thread here a user with AT&T was getting lte on the vendor rom and changed to the Global rom and now only gets H+. I too would like to know which version of the phone I have.
Hello all,
I just saw the review of this phone @gsmarena.com (SD version) and it called my attention because of the supported frequencies (850,1900 2G/3G and B2/B4 LTE). This is the only Xiaomi phone with support for the carriers in my country. I have looked online but all the stores only have the phone with unsupported frequencies, similar to those of the MTK version.
Does anyone know where to but this phone with global band support? Thanks.

But i think you will not be able to flash all that custom Roms Herr...cuz this is the Kate Version not kenzo...thats why ill order the standard Version i think..
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Is this site trustworthy?
How do you identify what variant of the phone are they selling? Anyways, the one there is the only one with LTE support for my county.
My other option is the ZUK Z2, but have read very mixed reviews, thus I'm leaning towards RN3.

Hello,
I'm a bit confused about frequency support, as information across sites is not consistent.
From what I' ve read in the forums, there are 2 models:
- Kate, LTE B20 support
- Kenzo, no LTE B20 support.
Most sites sell a version that has no B2, B4 and B20 support, and that would be Kenzo, right?
Some other site lists one with B2, B4 and B20 support, that would be Kate.
But then there's another one that has B2 and B4 support but no B20. Which one is this? Are there different different versions of Kenzo? Is the site spcs incorrect?
Here are the sites and variants:
* B2, B4 AND B20 Support, Kate

Goldway has update his item description, now it claims to support B20.

I think that Prime ver means for all of them 3GbRam/32Rom.
Right now what I check is weight, 167 gr mean kate aka Special Edition
Regardss.
Pd. Careful since maybe cases are bit "tightly" (2extra millimeters)
Another supplier. Ships form an EU Warehouse. Support said, if all goes well, they will have stock next week

My suggestion where get it
I bought from HotMID(dot)com for Xiaomi devices and verified them physically and on mi(dot)com/verify.
Well, I finally made a decision and boght the one from geekbuying.com, which would be Kate.
From whats I've read in the forums, is supported by CM, which is what I would use. I've never used MIUI before, I'll give that a try frist.
My phone should arrive in about a month...

I ordered Mine too from geekbuying but kenzo, I don't need Band 20 but I like flashing and development. I already got the MiPad2 and used it with AOSP for a while(Stock Android) but then they released MIUI 8...And yea I still use MIUI and I love it, I recommend to install the Rom from xiaomi.eu it's globalized and has some other nice optimazions ull love it! Let us know when urs arrived.?
Naily
I received my Kate yesterday evening. So far I like it, MIUI is strage, needs some getting used to. Seems like the ROM is the factory one and has not been tampered with by the seller. I got a notification about OTA Update and it installed without a problem. I'll install the developer ROM today if I got the time and apply for bootloader unlock.

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

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
Mi A3 Global version supports different LTE bands than the India version as shown in the information here
https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/xiaomi-mi-a3
Is there a way to enable Global LTE bands as shown to be supported in the Mi A3 bought in India ? I am in the US and able to connect only to 2G network on T Mobile
I'm in the same boat. I'm in the US and have the EU version and I'm only getting H+ which I guess is like 3.5g instead of LTE. I wonder if flashing the international ROM will do anything. I'm going on a trip soon though so I don't want to be messing with this phone in case I brick it or something.

I might be a little late, but both the Global and EU ROMS/variants support same bands. I have global version flashed to EU ROM, and there is no connectivity difference. I use T-Mobile and get LTE most of the time (bands 2 and 4). I do wonder if it's possible to unlock/access other LTE bands (like 12,66,71)?
