Hello everyone,
Does anyone what the differences are between all the different models of Huawei's G6?
And in particular how do these differences apply to any software that's available. Will the kitkat 4.4 for u10 work on a u251?
That's just a hypothetical example, the bigger question is what is the difference between these models and how do these differences affect what software I can install on a given model.?
the big difference is LTE model and 3G model. I thing all Uxx models are 3g and all Lxx are LTE, but I am not sure. Apart from this the difference is from my understanding only difference in the final market so it can be in gsm modul/kernel (different spectrum frequencies. But I don't have idea if this difference is hardware or software.

I know the verizon and sprint m8s has CDMA functionality and other versions are GSM only.
Is this an actual hardware difference? Or is it available in all versions but locked away behind firmware similar to how the different carriers lock away different LTE bands?
Thanks,

Hi i like to buy flex 2.i know that eu h955 model is 16gb with 2gb ram and us h950 is 32gb with 3gb ram.I am from europe and i was wondering if anyone has experience using us model in europe...witll it work???
my carrier bands are:
Name Interface
900 (E-GSM) GSM
1800 (DCS) GSM
UMTS
Name Interface
B1 (2100) UMTS
B2 (1900 PCS) UMTS
LTE
Name Interface
B3 (1800 +) LTE
B20 (800 DD) LTE
I would really arppreciate your help..thank you
The H950 will certainly work to some extent in Europe. When the Mrs was over from New York and we went to Valencia, she was getting Data, (at least on 3G.)
Just bear these things in mind when thinking about the H950:-
- The firmware updates are distributed by AT&T and not LG. You need to have an AT&T sim card and be in the USA to get them.
- The phone comes with only 5.0.1 which is awful. You will need the 5.1.1 11z update for reasonable performance. :crying:
- Even though the battery is 3000mah, the battery life is poor, (not a patch on my G2 in the same conditions.)
- If you are in a sunny part of Europe, the OLED screen is poor in sunlight.
- The low light performance of the camera is poor, (not a patch on my G2 in the same conditions.)
If I was you, I'd buy the G4. No issues with updates, 3GB ram, better camera and a screen which is good in sunlight. :highfive:
To update the H950 firmware OTA, you need to use an AT&T SIM and plan. Many people use the GoPhone plan, but that plan works only in the US, or with roaming in Canada and Mexico. You can always update your phone manually.
I agree that the G4 may be a better phone, but at the current price point of the Flex 2 (~$199), there are no comparable devices.
Ok thank you for your help guys...I must add i am phone freak and i had many phones in the past from iphone,lg,samsung,huawei,oneplus..many more and so far updating wasnt my problem...i managed to flash official or custom roms on any of them so i think that i can handle lg g flex 2 too.My main concern was will US version work in EU and can i use 3g and 4g???Cause that phone is hard to find here especially US version...and i like to go for 3gb ram versionAnd agree there that g4 is better option but the price on flex 2 is temptingEvery other meaning will be apreciated...thx
I am on Tmobile in the US, and am debating between the Nokia 8 and the Essential. So far the 8 is winning by a landslide... but then I found the supported bands on GSMArena (attached).
I am very aware that there are folks out there adding band capability to their devices, since I think the hardware has the capability, and most times it's locked in software. So - does this mean that I have some options on the Nokia 8 based on the chipset they used?
TIA!
Dear all:
As you know, many phones has different sub-type that designed to support different LTE band of varioius geographical regions. As an example, the phone I use has three different variant of dual-SIM phone that differ only in different LTE band supported (Moto X Pure): Chinese variant, Latin America variant, Southeast Asian variant. Aside from different LTE band supported, everything else (hardware wise) is identical.
Can I simply burn Latin American variant ROM (which is also a dual-SIM) to a Chinese phone, assuming that despite differences in LTE band supported, the radio hardware is the same thus the radio*ROM is interchangable.
I hope my question make sense. thanks in advance.

So after searching around the internet and forums and discovering the 5G model is basically not receiving the same attention as the 4G I was wondering if any developers could answer me this, is it possible to convert the phone somehow? Of course I aren't expecting to use 5G if it is possible ( it's the only model EE offer) so had no choice but after reading that updates are none existent and there is no custom ROM support nor are we eligible for android beta programs ??*
In short: No.
I've seen it smart 5g but modem is the question best to ask a Dev who builds kernel 5g has a ways to go by next OnePlus release trade up is best way
Not really, no. AFAIK (I've done zero research on this so I can very possibly be wrong), the SOC in the 4G version is different from the 5G version because the SOC of the 4G version (System on Chip/Card, basically the CPU etc) does not support a 5G modem and antenna.
As I understand it, the difference between the 4G and 5G variants is similar to the difference between a Snapdragon and Exynos Galaxy S8,9, etc.
Again, I could be wrong about this and it's just how it was explained to me prior to the phone being released when I asked if it's possible that the 4G version could have the hardware for 5G and just not be enabled until 5G is available in your area, because there was a time when OnePlus was making a blanket statement that the OP7 Pro would be 5G, and said nothing about a 4G variant even being a possibility.
