Looking to switch to the Tmo Canadian variant to achieve root and use on US T-mo. What is the model number (G920XX?) Where is the best place to buy it out-right?

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:

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.

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.
If I were to buy the international variant from gearbest, what is the different from buying US model from the official OnePlus US website. I'm in the USA. Is it the same model actually? Less band support for TMobile? Just wondering bc there might be a better deal there
Thanks

No warranty.
It is the same model but not the same variant.
It has slightly different hardware.
Usually, you get a Chinese model flashed with OxygenOS. (Chinese come with HydrogenOS).
It will not be the GM1917 and some bands will be missing.
Not sure which ones, but if you had Verizon, it may or may not work.
Unless you're saving mega bucks (which I doubt) stick with the USA site for OnePlus for warranty issues should they arise. Also, as mentioned, this way you will be sure to get all the LTE bands you may need.
The asus rog phone 5 and 5s have have different network standard version. I was intend to buy the 5s from UK website, the said is selling hong kong version. no VAT when buy from UK ship to USA. the USA version dont have official price yet. USA SKU use B version. the hong kong version have same 5G bands.
Does SKU make difference? will HK version work in USA? if check IMEI on BYOD in USA carriers will make difference?
Does anyone know where i can buy a s22 ultra snapdragon ? i live in the east coast usa
Any US carrier branded S22 has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen1. Also, an unlocked device purchased directly from Samsung for the US market will have the Snapdragon chipset.
You can buy it from Amazon.

Edited my reply to include unlocked device, direct from Samsung purchase.
Just want to add the US version can't be bootloader unlocked or rooted, even the unlocked version from Samsung (model s908u/u1)
I bought a s908e through Amazon and I'm also eastern US, rooting was easy.. thanks to the awesome devs here
