Buy nexus 5 from us and use it in Europe?

Hi
I'm thinking of buying the nexus 5, tho it has not arrived to my country yet and my resellers will put on a 100-200$ extra as they did with the nexus 4, so if I order one from Google play store (the unlocked one)(will order it through a post forwarding company) will it work in EU?
I have my doubts because I read a review that said " Network compatibility
Google has made two versions of the handset, one specifically for North America/Asia, and another for other regions like Europe."
Thanks in advance

I am also interested in this. Hope there is just one version that is compatible worldwide.
Thank you in anticipation to whoever can clarify this.

You can actually use the US model in Europe without problem, but you can't use LTE because the LTE bands supported in this US(& Canada) model are mostly not compatible in Europe & Asia.
The specs in the N5 page has clearly stated the different lte bands support.
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
You can check the supported bands in your country here:

It's available in these play stores starting today, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Korea. Only in different prices. UK is selling as high as £339 for 32GB.

Buy from Play Store in Malta
Malta is not yet a supported country for the Play Store. Can anyone suggest a way to get the new Nexus 5?
Through the US play store it is way cheaper.

I've used the N4 US model in EU without an issue, so the N5 should be no different.

It is different... You are not able to use the LTE (4G) networks with a US device in Europe.

Download tunnelbear and use it to buy the nexus on the play store.
Register with borderlinx and have the nexus ship there.
From borderlinx, send to you personal address.
Really like borderlinx since i paid only usd 9 for shipping my nexus 4 and that too with dhl and tracking.

Borderlinx will calculate the import taxes in your country. when paying Borderlinx for the shipping, you will also be paying the taxes to them. tey will pay the taxes to your customs. Therefore DHL will directly deliver to you without delay at the customs.

Out here in UAE the LTE baseband is 1800Mhz sadly from what I am seeing both the phones have no support for that spectrum. Screwed :/

Thanks for this post. I was considering getting an N5 at a Best Buy in 2 week in L.A. and checked my operator (H3g) LTE bands:
1800 - Band 3
2600 - Band 7
not present in US radio version...
Need to decide if LTE support is worth the + € 100 difference!

No, Carriers in UAE are utilizing band 3 & 7, the model sold outside of US & Canada supports both of these bands. Double check the specs in the N5 page.

Exactly the dilemma I'm having right now.

3G and 3,5G is quite fast in Europe. I'm getting 4-6 megs on 3,5G which is enough for me.
Heavy data usage costs more so I use WiFi for it anyway. In my case I'd buy one from US.
Considering LTE as a still early dev. technology in my part of the world I'm even more convinced.

I just bought a US version for use in Europe

I just bought a US version of Nexus 5 for use in Europe. I don't have a problem with the network speeds on my Nexus 4, and I have 100Mbit fiber at the house. I can report here in three weeks how things panned out for me.

does anyone know whether buying the n5 from a country you don't reside in will affect warranty? I'm assuming warranty is only covered by the country that the device is issued for...

If LG policy is still the same then you will have to send it to the country where you bought it. The question is: will they ship it back directly to your country...

[Q] Compatability with UK networks

Hi guys,
Do you know if this phone will be compatible with Three UK in 4G? I read that three offers the 4G network @ 800MHz and 1800MHz. I had a look at the phone's spec sheet and it says that they support 1800MHz @ 4G. Does that mean that I should be able to run the three network @ 4G speeds with this phone?
Thanks!

The M7-TL10 is not Band 20 (800Mhz) compatibel! Thats a wrong Info of most of the dealer and Huawei self. I buy the International TL10 and it has no band 20. Only the M7-TL09 has it.

Why u want 800? Every OP finishes with that freq.
L10 uses 1800 ,2100 and 2600 ..
I use 1800 on 3!
And it isn't TL09 but L09

What is that for a question?? Because my provider has only 800Mhz and in some Big Citys 2600. Most of the german provider, D1,Vodafone and O² use the Band 20
And it is TL10 not L10....

[Q] Where to buy for the UK

Yeah I know but I'm looking for the 3gb ram version. Was hoping for some help with trusted sites.

I bought mine here http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141607761034&alt=web
All good and 24h delivery.

3GB version does not support band 20, so if you want 4G on a network which uses band 20, I would recommend you buy the 2GB model

Depends of the network man.
The link I posted above is for eu version of Gold Mate 7 which I have. Im with three and I get very fast 4G without problems.

I suggest to buy from Amazon.it as I made. Is cheaper and it is official from Huawei Italy.

That is why I'm asking.
So, in Europe, at least officially, the 64GB version will be the only one available. Right?
I'm almost decided in to buy the U11 but...
...I had the M7 and I have the M8 and I'm not very happy about how HTC handles the updates, it is too slow.
If you look in to One Plus forums, the 3T already have android 7.1.1.
How about the HTC M10? I think it only have android 7.0. If it is true, almost nothing have changed since HTC M8's time

Do you think guys the 128GB/6GB of ram will be push in global? Or only specific countries? Also will be there a problem about with the roms after that? I mean the roms for 4gb will work also the one with 6gb of ram right ?

And in the Middle East as well, which is technically Asia, but usually separate for marketing purposes )

Coming from Germany, does anyone know where I can order the 6GB/128GB version? Any shops that ship oversees?

I pre ordered mine on jarir.com. The 128gb/6gb ram will be released I think on the first or second week of June.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
Will the 6/128 version likely have any issues working in the UK?

I think the freebie if you pre-order is worth it. It costs 699 from JBL. I owned JBL products - JBL go speakers and JBL headphone. Both were excellent so I guess the earphones will also be good.
I will give you an update as soon as I tried the free earphones.

Does anyone know if the 128GB version will have the same radio frequencies as the North America models? (64GB)
I want the extra storage space but the radio frequencies for the new LTE 66 is more important.

Singapore has the 128GB / 6GB one for sale which is the international version.
The phones here are all unlocked according to law and can be used overseas.
If it is any help, the RRP for the phone is 722USD / 560GBP. Solar red will be unveiled in the same config first week July.
Cheers!

6G ram/128GB rom is factory unlocked, dual sim variant which will deliver to customer on 15th June 2017 in Vietnam, the stock price is ~$744.
Personally I think it shall be a little difference in hardware at least eMMC, blah blah, just waits for official hand-on

Band 30 LTE (AT&T) and Band 71 LTE (T-Mobile) missing.

Oneplus 7 Pro's LTE bands are "B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66".
Is it just a small problem?

T-Mobile : 2/4/5/12/46/48/66/71
Verizon Wireless : 2/4/5/13/46/48/66
Band 71 is present, but just contradicts with their other info where band 71 isn't present.
FDD LTE: B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66
TDD-LTE: B34,38,39,40,41
TDS: B34,39
UMTS: B1,2,4,5,8,9,19
CDMA: BC0,BC1
GSM: B2,3,5,8
I checked https://www.cellmapper.net/ to check on the bands, but seems like it shouldnt be that big of an impact for me since it's not that many in my area. Or am I wrong ? I think it'll impact rural areas more with less towers.

T-Mobile will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage for $0 down and $29.17 per month for 24 months on an Equipment Installment Plan. T-Mobile will also offer the OnePlus 7 Pro through JUMP! On Demand, with JOD pricing set at $0 down and $31 per month for an 18-month lease. T-Mo will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro in Nebula Blue and Mirror Grey.
As you’d expect from a brand new flagship phone on T-Mobile, the OnePlus 7 Pro supports all of T-Mo’s LTE network features. That includes 600MHz (LTE band 71) as well as 4×4 MIMO, 256 QAM, License Assisted Access (LAA), and carrier aggregation.

I don't want the T-Mo version, the unlocked one on their site has all of the bands including 66, and 71.
My main question I need answered before buying this phone is whether RCS will work on the unlocked one. Otherwise I'll wait and pay more for the Note 10

My Telco uses band 3 and 40. I purchased my op 7p from the US site, as per the site, the American op store version has band 3 but not 40. Do u guys know if this can be changed via software or is it the hardware?
The version in India has both band 3 and 40.
