I know that the international model is supported in India. (Airtel and Vodafone)
But I'm thinking of importing this phone from China. They have a different kind of network some TD-WCDMA which is not supported in India. Will the Chinese model work in Indian 3G? I've asked around the OPO forums and nobody seems to know. I've messaged their support team but they haven't replied. Any ideas about this?

Can someone tell me which bands the phone supports. There has been conflicting information and I want to know if there are different models to look out for.
According to Huawei the phone will support FDD LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28. However the China websites that are currently selling the phones only list band 1, 3 and 7. Is this a mistake or is this different model?
You ask Huawei?

THIS is why I'm waiting until someone figures this out. There's been a lot of discussion around this. Has anyone tried emailing Huawei and asking them?

band 1/3/7 is the only bands available in China, but when the phone is roaming(using on other carrier than CMCC, China Unicom or China Telecomm), all other bands are usable.
Not sure what you mean

Thanks, but what does that mean? You don't specify whether this will work on (as the question asked) on the AT&T US or the T-Mobile US networks for 4G and LTE capability.
If you can provide that information and backup as to where that can be found that this device is compatible and will work at 4G LTE speeds on the T-Mobile or AT&T US networks, I'd be a lot more sure about what i was getting.
Thank you though for responding.

Current version of phones NOT compatible with US 4G LTE networks, from Huawei

I made a post on the main level of this thread, please go look.
Huawei's current offering of phones is NOT compatible with US 4G LTE bands, they will be releasing one soon (don't know when) that WILL be compatible.
I asked them directly and they responded from the manufacturer directly.
My suggestion, wait until they put out a US-compatible phone.
i don't know WHY none of the press bothered to point this out, useless in total if you ask me. They screamed and oohed and aahed over the device and failed to mention that the one being shown AND being produced currently is NOT compatible with the US-market. Another model that Huawei says is, will be released (no ETA).
Hi guys,
I just wanted to share this with you as I've purchased
in the past from these guys and had a great experience!
Right now they have the U Ultra for a really good price:

P.S= I hope this is OK for me to post it here, if not please let me know so that I can remove it ASAP.

Hey there,
Not that I am 100% sure, but I've called this statement into question in another thread, I'll repost here.
In one of the threads here on XDA, another member suggested he ordered the intl. model and it didnt support the right bands for the USA. Leading me to think there were multiple models.
I'm starting to think there isn't, here is why.
1. Michael Fisher (I think he's in Canada) imported a TW market phone for his early review. It appears to have LTE in the film, and he doesnt mention anything about incompatibilities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIWbn8ecKwA
2. Jeff Springer (I think he's in the USA) imported a HK market phone, it also appears to have LTE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fclOYUyfxnE&t=522s
I believe the belief that the intl. model doesnt support USA bands (2/4, etc) comes from the practice (poor practice, admittedly) for HTC's Taiwanese website to only declare the bands that it perceives are relevant to Taiwanese users. The HK website suggests the same as taiwan = FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 TDD: B38/B39/B40/B41
The UK / India / USA / AU sites all state - FDD: Bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B20/B28TDD: Bands B38/B39/B40/B41
With USA & AU not stating support for dual sim, but HK, TW, India, UK do.
I believe there is only one model (with multiple software variations), and the information published being variable.
I now know there are at least 2 model numbers. U-1u (Taiwan and HK confirmed to use this model, dual sim), and U-1h (single sim, AU and UK confirmed). But given the info above (michael fisher and Jeff Springer both importing the U-1u, and seemingly can connect to north american lte, seems to suggest that the band support for U-1u is wider than the official website specs)
HTC U Ultra - got from imobilephonex
Hey there
I got from New HTC U Ultra form imobilephonex
Really good price & brilliant phone :good:
Here is the breakdown officially from HTC's website. The dual band international version is missing 2, 4, 12 and 17. 17 being the most important one.
So get this I wake up to a text from FedEx saying I have a package coming I didn't order anything else so it's out for delivery! I checked the HTC site and it still says it hasn't been shipped and no tracking number!
It's cheaper on eBay (649) and it's from a US based seller instead of having it shipped from Asia. What is holding me back from this phone is the horrific resale value of HTC and LG products. Once the S8 is announced/released this HTC U Ultra can be purchased for an insane amount less than full retail. Apple and Samsung phones hold their value well even used but unfortunately phones like this are not worth buying new for full retail IMO.

Having an LTE sign does not mean it supports the entire range of the network.
Hi All,
I need your help. I am unsure if this question was answered earlier. I tried to search before i post this question here.
I bought Honor 6x in India Model Number : BLN-L22.
When i started using this in US, when i turn on Internet, i am only receiving 2g / EDGE as internet. Not receiving 3G / 4G. When i contacted huawei customer support, they were quoting that i have to contact customer care in India. When i contacted customer care in India they said the phones bought in India will not work in US due to compatibility issues.
Can you please suggest is there any way that i can overcome this problem by making some changes? Please suggest?
Which sim are you using in US? Indian or local US carrier?
I was able to find a lost of supported VoLTE carries in the US, but I was unable to find a similar list for Europe.
What are you experiences with VoLTE in European countries with the Motorola Edge?What is the experience with your carrier? How did you get it working?
Hi Everyone,
I purchased a S22 Ultra while I was living in EU. It is the Exynos Variant. I moved back to India and I can no longer connect to any 5G providers. My SIM supports 5G and 5G works when the same SIM is inserted on any other phone. The model is SM-S908B/DS and is on the latest One UI 5.1. I have tried contacting Samsung support but none of them seem to have any answer for this.
Does anyone has the same problem or the Exynos Variant doesn't support 5G outside of Europe?
Apologies in advance if there's already a discussion thread for the same.
Regards
Yash

S908B Exynos is not sold in India so it probably doesn't contain 5G configs for Indian carriers. Good luck contacting Samsung India or Indian carriers, they highly won't provide support for S908B.
There's a thread about enabling all 4G/5G bands, but it's for Snapdragon only.
Best way is to trade in your device for an S23U S918B (sold everywhere except USA, Canada, China, HK, Taiwan and South Korea)

Did you try to reset all network settings only in settings? Or may be try to change region CSC.

I don't have S908B, but might worth a try.
Use Samfw tool to change to every possible CSC, see if it works.
Sorry bro, my fault.
