My main concern is the lack of data frequencies for u.s. i will be using the phone for t-mobile. Anybody here that uses this phone for t-mobile how is data connection holding up for you?
wasn't that only about the LTE bands? 3G should work fine then I guess?

I'm in California and so far lte is fine for me, it's similar to the g3 when it comes to getting lte or not so far I get it everywhere
There's a thread on the oneplus forum that goes through this. Seems all major metro areas get LTE. Which, I'm fine with too. Mine is on order so cannot verify. We shall see.

You will still get LTE speeds as long as you are in an area where bands 2 and 4 are available. My previous phone didn't have band 12, but I still have LTE coverage in my area, so I knew I would be okay with the OPX.
Band 12 is new. Most phones that came out last year didn't even have it. I think just the newest set of flagships did. I get LTE everywhere. I've only seen H+ maybe a hand full of times while on a phone call or in a building.
I get 100mbps in a lot of places. Even indoors.

The iPhone 6, at $749.00 retail, does not include band 12.
I've been reading these reviews and the things that get mentioned is just beyond me. The camera does have me concerned though.

I also have oneplus x with tmobile, and so far it seems like i get lte almost everywhere here in jacksonville fl. Also when i traveled across states over the christmas break. so you should be fine with getting lte coverage on tmoble.
I use the OnePlus X with Ting (T-Mobile)
Hi, I bought the OnePlus X without realizing that it wouldn't work on what was then my current network: Sprint. But I had already decided that I wanted to switch over to Ting. Ting uses other networks to power their service and charges you directly per use; it is very clear on exactly what you are paying for.
Anyway, it allowed me to connect my OnePlus X and set me up with the T-Mobile service (it shows up on the top-left notification bar on my phone).
I always get LTE coverage in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) and I've never had a problem with the bands missing.
So yes, the OnePlus X works with T-Mobile. However, I have been trying to see how much they would charge me to switch over from Ting to T-Mobile and it seems that I can't? So for now, I'm sticking with Ting
I had a nexus 5 before (no band 12) and the oneplus X had the same bands avail actually it sounds like most unlocked phones don't have band 12 anyways but signal is actually better with my oneplus x over my old nexus 5 in a lot of places which makes me really happy!
Anyone see this news? I hope they use it as an opportunity to improve the camera. But at $500 its starting to enter s7 territory...
It points to the ZTE USA site that doesn't actually list the device.

That's the Chinese version
It is available for purchase DIRECTLY from ZTE's website:

I was going to post it here but I already posted it on the ZTE community page, no need to spam for me hehehehe
According to the website it has support for all American LTE bands

The regular Axon 7 works on Verizon, and since the A7E is basically the same hardware, it should have the bands for Verizon as well.
It's only available in gold and it took them this long to bring it out ugh.
Are the capacitive keys on the front confirmed?
This is disappointing.
I wonder if there will be any reception issues with this one. I'm tempted, though.
I grabbed it as well. I'm torn between this and the OP3T. Love the Axon but HATE MiFavor... Ughh.. Thoughts about this versus the OnePlus 3T? There's a lot of love our there for the new OnePlus bump.
One plus doesn't work on VZW is one main reason vs axon. The new one plus T is the better phone otherwise.

THIS is the phone they should have released to the U.S. To begin with!
Just add Qi wireless charging and this phone would be perfect! Oh, and stock Android...
I do maybe get a S7 Black 32Gb and a Tab A 7 Lite from Samsung. Would love to sell it for a Axon 7 with 6Gigs and Force Touch... Any idea how I can get my Fingers on it in Germany? I really want to Start my next Project on that awesome Baby...

I was just going to ask about VZW...
I'm curious about the 6GB RAM. There was another phone, recently, that carried 6GB wasn't there? I remember an article about the 6GB being constrained to 4GB unless one ran a command to make it all available. Does that sound familiar? I think constraining the RAM had something to do with battery savings...
EDIT: Ah-ha! Found it. The OP3 had this dilemma:

Hey everyone!
Currently a user of an RR rooted oneplus 3. Love the phone but I keep hearing good things about Xiaomi.
I must admit I'm curious, especially with the Mi Mix 2 coming out. How are Xiaomi phones on US cell networks? I would mainly be using AT & T. I have no problem putting custom roms etc on my phones so that's not an issue.
I just wouldnt want to be stuck with a phone that had bad 4G/LTE support.
Pros and cons of going with a Xiaomi phone vs say the one plus 5, or a true US supported phone like the LG V30 or upcoming pixel XL2 or even the asus zenphone 4 pro?
Curious to see what everyone has to say .

I'm using Redmi note 4 global Version in USA on T-Mobile. You just need to do a little research on what frequency at&t uses. Or what bands they use. For me I'm only getting 1 LTE band supported which is band 4. I get lte everywhere and it's fast. This is what at&t supports 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently. You can use this http://www.china-prices.com/phone/bands/7131/xiaomi-redmi-note-4-64gb to check compatibility with Chinese phones it's pretty accurate. So I just looked it up the global Version of Redmi note 4 you would get 2 LTE bands. Better than what I get. You can research other xiaomi phones as well.

Also switch service to mint sim for $25 a month with unlimited talk text and 10gb of data. Redmi note 4 global Version 3gb around $150 and the 4gb version around $200.
There are some xiaomi phones that support more bands but they do cost more. A unlocked phone in the USA you should be getting at least 3 LTE frequencies support. Like on T-Mobile there are 3 main bands. 2 4 and 12. 12 is for when your inside and it penetrates through buildings. At&t might have the same type of thing with 850mhz. Lower the frequency the farther it can travel.
Feel free to direct message me if you have more questions I've basically researched all available xiaomi phones. I can help you with compatibility
You don't have to worry about bands support, if it doesn't support bands on USA, You can unlock all bands on Mido, 1-41 bands can be unlocked

So basically as long as the soc's modem supports it then there are ways to unlock it. I am unfamiliar with Mido. What is that? I am going to be targeting a Snapdragon 835 phone here in the next month or two. Hopefully we will see on the 11th the mi mix 2 getting that Soc.

I'm not sure about the first line, but here on RN4 it can be unlocked with other version of RN4 who had All bands unlocked
Mido is code name for Redmi Note 4, every devices on Xiaomi have their own code name
I think yes it will be getting 835
I think it will be support for Mi Mix 2 on USA, i know someone who had mi6 basically had same soc, and he can used it in USA
Unlocking bands is not easy at all.. it's possible in theory, but it's extremely complicated and dangerous you can completely brick your phone.
Dont even consider this, i dont know what this guy above is talking about. Maybe he will present us unlocked all bands if this is so easy?

It's easy and it will not brick your phone, only signal loss and you can restore your backup if anything happened (signal loss)
I have the redmi note 4x international with snapdragon soc on cricket (att prepay service). I cant say about the mi max 2 but my device works great with att network. The phone came with the global rom installed and all I had to do was put a sim in it. Network was found, data worked, sms and mms both worked. Have had no issues with the phone on cricket/att.
Just like to follow up with my post. Did some digging and apparently mi mix 2 will be fully capable in the US as the mi mix 2 will ship with a global version that has Google play support. Very cool stuff if this article is to be believed. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...ix-2-was-built-with-the-u-s-audience-in-mind/

Make sure your sim is in Sim slot 1 which is the one that goes farthest inside phone that's the only one that works for LTE.
Looks like your carrier runs off the t mobile network. You have lte band 2 4 and 12. There are also multiple versions of redmi note 4. If you have redmi note 4 global version which runs the snapdragon processor you should be ok and getting LTE on band 4.
Also depending on what area you are in and the cell towers in your area you could be to far from LTE cell towers. Good luck
Go into sim apn settings there should be one already setup called fast t mobile. Because I'm pretty sure your on t mobile network you can select that and get LTE.

A good app from the play store is called LTE discovery it will tell you what band or frequency you are on I posted a couple screen shots on a different phone though running MIUI 8 but should be about the same. Also what plan are you on maybe you have used all your data? Also check with your carrier you might have to supply the IMEI number for them to activate it. Are you able to make calls?
Are you able to use the Sim in a different phone and LTE is fine?
Are you sure your not on redmi note 4x?

Does LTE actually continue to work for you after you make a voice call or when it otherwise switches to something other than LTE?
Because I'm on cricket as well and mine never goes back to LTE once it switches to H+. I've gotta go into preferred network and switch to to Prefer 3G and back to Prefer LTE to make it work again.
I've tried it with an AT&T prepaid sim as well. I've also done a factory reset, tried the nano sim in slot 2 and also in a micro sim adapter in slot 1. All with the same result. I've got good LTE signal on band 4 all over the place which works perfectly when it's connected. But if I make a phone call or walk into the center of home depot where the signal drops for even a second, it will go to H+ and literally never switch back.

oh OK. Im on 8.5.4.0. I should probably try 9, or Lineage soon.
I did actually witness this thing switch from H+ to LTE today, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was out in the middle of nowhere, and the LTE signal showed 1 bar, so apparently the H+ must have been even worse.
Guys H+ is fast too, I think it's like up to like 168mbps. Personally I have no problems with LTE but I prefer to use H+ because it's enough of speed for everything you could think of, obviously the signal is better then 4g and it's easier on battery.
Edit:
Actually it seems like H+ can be even faster then LTE.

I'm traveling to the US soon, and i find out most companies like t-mobile verizo and at&t don't list the phone as compatible with their networks, and more over, when putting the IMEI on those websites, it just says not compatible.. any of you has any experience in the US with this specific phone? Global model ofc
I have it here in the US and I use t-mobile. I do not get good service and do not have VOLTE or VOWIFI. I did get missed calls time to time but it still worked.
The Realme GT2 PRO has compatibility issues with T-Mobile. I'm currently using mint mobile which is an mvno of T-Mobile and the service is pretty bad. In fact mint mobile says that the Realme GT2 pro is not compatible although it does work... barely. Unfortunately I had to buy Pixel 7 for use at work which is fine because it takes so long to charge that phone I end up using the GT2 pro at night for media and gaming. It's not a band issue as much as US carriers simply don't want to status the software.
Hopefully this will change soon. I haven't tried an att mvno but that's definitely on my to do list as the 5G and 4G band compatibility is better than T-Mobile.
Got sent this phone from the US so its snapdragon one. The 4G speed is so terrible rarely exceeds 10mbps and the connection is not stable it loses connection every few seconds. my old phone used to get about 60mbps and a more stable conection (i live in a not so well developed country, this is the standard speed) also on my s22+ on the mobile data it always says "LTE" meanwhile my old poco f2 pro used to have "4G+" 90% of the time. Are all snapdragon samsung phones like this outside the US? And if theres anyway to fix please recommend.

See what channels European countries use and choose the operator of the country you are in and then compare that with the supported channels on your SM-S906U1.
it is supported yes. im not from europe im from ethiopia, but i checked my friends phone band and it says band 3 whilst on my phone it says band 7 while we are both on the same network
