So I have been purchasing Clones from DHGate and so far i can only seem to find them with 3G capabilities.
Well as some of you in the UK may know now giffgaff will be getting 4G capabilities on their network. I was wondering if anybody on here knew of any good clones that have the ability to use 4G?
Thanks for any answers given in advance
Anybody?
Hello Q&A,
I've recently been looking at the multitude of inexpensive Chinese phones available on the market, I'm attracted to them because of the price and some of the sexy designs they have.
Of course, they all say 2G 850/900/1800/1900mhz and 3G WCDMA.
I was planning to use MetroPCS (which has a 4G LTE network, I would post link but it isn't letting me.) and I don't know if the 2G phone will work with their 4G plan.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't understand this aspect of phones at all.
Obviously I wouldn't get 4G speeds, but could I get 2G speeds on a 4G LTE network?
Thanks for any help, it's very appreciated.
Hate to bump
Hate to bump my own posts, I'll only do it once. Sorry if this question is inappropriate for this board.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy J7, SM-J700H dual sim International version. This phone doesn't have 4G LTE rather it has HSPA. Nowadays 4G LTE is taking over in the US especially. Now I am with AT&T but I am looking for the best service provider which has the largest and fastest HSPA+ in the US because I don't know. I'm not particularly happy that I can't have the fastest network as in 4G LTE but I like the phone for what it is. So can someone please advice me as to which top service providers are the best option in the USA which have the largest and fastest HSPA network (i'm obviously not asking as far as data plans and things like that). I never had a phone without 4G LTE so I am not familiar with this nework. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your replies.

Hello,
Sorry we don't reside in your area so we really can't comment on best network right there. You need to figure it out yourself with the help of friends or family.

Hello I am a new poster but have been visiting this site for a while...I have searched for months trying to find the perfect fit for me and can't seem to find it...I need your help please...

Thank You.
bump for any info please...thank you!
wow nobody can shed some light? any help is appreciated
Download MIUI hidden settings activity launcher, and look for radio band mode. It lists all the bands. I did not try the toggles or anything as this is my work phone, but figured I'd share for some that need better service.
Thank you for sharing this. Is there anyone on here that is willing to test this? I was in doubt between the 12s Ultra and the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra. Went for the Axon, but as you can read elsewhere in this forum, that didn't end well.
One of the things that was holding me back on the 12s Ultra, was the lack of Band 20. So if that can be fixed that would help me a lot.
Any Dutch in here that can say something about the effect on service in the Netherlands without the Band 20?
Any info is appreciated, thnx!
Tried it, but to my knowledge it didn't have any effect. At least on Vodafone it didn't. The band support, it's processor related and not software related.
3G support is turned off in NL. So the areas where you don't have 4G (or 5G), you would be getting edge. It's extreme slow to the point that you'll be clawing out your eyes. The districts where I regularly visit are Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel. So the other ones I don't have any knowledge. What I do is search for a free wifi or connect to the KPN or Ziggo hotspots. Overall not a very big problem or annoyance, but something to remember and consider if you live in the Netherlands.

Hi Taghdir6,
Thank you for trying and the extra info. Very useful for me.
If you would determine the percentage of the time you have network issues, what would be your estimation? Do you have indoor issues?
So if I understand correctly, if there isn't 4g coverage on a different band, it switches to band 20 which most of the time is the only band available in the more rural parts? Since the 12s Ultra doesn't support this, only edge is available outside de Randstad? 3g isn't available as well?
Sorry for being such a noob on this matter and thank you! Any reply is appreciated.

I didn't experience any network issues related to reception, but only internet speed. If I'm not mistaken t-mobile is the only provider that hasn't turned 3G support off yet. They will eventually. The other providers don't support 3G anymore. So you're right if you're in an area where there is no support for the frequency, then you will be on edge. In my experience it's not very often. In my case I still have B1, 3 and 7 for 4G support. I still get 4g most of the time, but I did experience a couple of times.that I needed to search something on the internet and I was on edge. So the speed was very very slow. The other times I had 4g so the speed was great.
No indoor issues by the way. Downstairs it's edge most of the times and upstairs it's 4G. Very strange but it's true.
Thnx for the info, again; really appreciate it! One sim will be T-Mobile, one will be KPN. So I think I will be fine most of the time. I think I will go for it. You helped a lot
