Whatever bands it has are already unlocked. It doesn't have LTE bands for the US though.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I live in France. I need the band 20 (800mhz) so I'll wait GEM701L model is released ... If a developer could make the modem P8 (the same hardware) for MediaPad that would be great for all. a world phone to all networks ...

As it is not snapdragon, can it even be modeled to make additional bands?

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).
Hello friends,
I have an FDD-LTE MI4 and I live in Brazil.
I realized that the MI4 only works in the bands 1 and 3 of LTE, whereas in Brazil using the band 7, is there any way to unlock the other bands in MI4? I saw that this procedure is possible in other cells, but found nothing about the MI4.
I await response, and now thanks.

Pity no one has idea about this one. More xiaomi are vailable now throw sellers but it seems the LTE bands will not satisfy much countries.
I am in France and as you, if I buy I will not benefit from LTE...
I heard non-mtk models do support other bands but are locked because of licenses, don't know if true
I think the main difference between Chinese V10 and European/US View 10 is the LTE bands. Do you know if it's possible to unlock band 20 on the Chinese version?
Can the CMDA be used on verizon?
No. No Verizon or Sprint.
Must have t-mobile or at&t correct?
Yes, and any smaller carrier that depends on their bands.

Before buying an unlocked phone to use on a US GSM network, you need to research the 4G FDD radio bands used by the carrier and make sure the phone you want supports those FDD radio bands. (Verizon users, even when Verizon abandons CDMA in 2019, you won't be able to go out and buy any phone with the correct FDD bands and that supports VoLTE to use on their network. Verizon has made it clear that it will only provision phones that it has tested and certified.) Here's a link with US and Canadian carrier bands. https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/what-are-the-cellular-frequencies-of-cell-phone-carriers-in-usa-canada

Best I can do is recommend you search this page by the carrier in India that you use, it will tell you if you'll get 2G, 3G and LTE with the Honor View 10, TD-LTE BLN-AL10. https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/QePYuJz/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-td-lte-bln-al10/india

Hi Guys is there any Indian guy who bought this device could you please confirm if this device support carrier aggregation in India? Specifically on Reliance Jio network. If yes it is 2CA or 3CA?
Thank you.

There is an option to enable carrier aggregation & is enabled by default.

Kirin 970 processor present in the Honor View 10 is the Worlds first mobile SoC that supports Cat 18 LTE. It can attain maximum data speeds of 1.2Gbps. In contrast, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, supports Category 16 downlink LTE, and can achieve maximum download speeds of 1Gbps.Tthe Kirin 970 is capable of aggregating up to 5 LTE (5CA) downlink carriers & phones equipped with this chipset will likely achieve even higher data speeds once carriers start supporting this technology. So basically it future proof. Even the OnePlus 5T supports only upto 3CA.
CA related question
Is there any tool, app, code to see between which 4G bands the device is "making" the CA?

The carrier aggregation option is missing from my phone, lol - B140 C432 (Europe). My OnePlus 5 had LTE-A all the time (the 4G support on my mobile provider is on 1800 and 2100 bands). Since I got the View 10, I have not seen the LTE-A sign not even once, always stuck on 4G only. A friend of mine has Mate 10 Pro and he gets LTE-A. Same mobile provider, same chipset.

I'm in America..
And it says 4g on mine all the time
But when I check the signal I get lte band 5.. And others depending on what towers I use it the area I'm in
I think maybe the indicator is inaccurate but still received lte.
Down load lte Discovery app from play.
It will tell you all the info you need.
Also depending on what theme I use the indicator will work and show lte.
Just eye candy.. It works.
I purchased a Honor View 10 from Alibaba a couple months back with the international build (BKL-L09 8.0.0.131 C636) installed on it. I however live in Canada and the LTE bands installed in this version don't work in Canada. I just saw they finally released the View 10 a couple of days ago in the US and the band's will on the US version will have the LTE bands that will also work in Canada. My question is what is the US model of the View 10 and is it possible to unlock the other LTE bands?

I think you need rebrand your device to a US variant
I emailed Funky Huawei and they said rebranding will not change LTE bands. Unless of course they are wrong...
really? It's bad news for me. I have Chinese version view 10 already.

Rebranding will not change LTE bands!
A phone's bands are physical. Just take a look at one of jerryrigeverything's phone teardown videos and try to spot a long wire(s) going around the inside of the device.

Actually the LTE bands can be unlocked but not via rebranding but changing (or updating) the kernel. The bands are only locked to a specific region via software which is related to the kernel of the device. Rebranding only helps with receiving updates for a certain region but you gotta change the kernel.

I wonder if you can flash a l04 kernel in a l09.

I really don't know if it would be just something in kernel, but until EU version isn't on 8.1 we cant test or propperly compare kernel source.
We know Kirin 970 is capable for all frequency, because P20 is out only as one version for all markets,or at least for EU/US
Maybe with this way it is possible to rebrand from US to EU and get LTE bands

Did you solve the problem? I am in the same situation but with a P20 Lite
Actually.. You don't need the kernel
It's in the modem.. That's what dictates what bands your radio received.
It's that easy on Samsung.. It's that way here.
Wee used to flash different modems from different regions on the same model.
Trying to figure out a way for a universal flashing technique in these phones as most of them are the same with only the region lock and recovery check.
Since most of these phones contain the same modem, that's what needs to be done.
Trying to see if I can switch identifier in modems.. If I can fool the checks into thinking one modem is the same region for another
I have an Honor View 10 (global) that isn't working on the LTE bands in the US either. Is it possible to use the North American firmware and flash the global phone? Would that gain access to the LTE bands? Thanks.

I have a US Verson of V10 and not working LTE with some carries in Brazil... Works only on band 3, but here, the carries use 3, 7 and 28. Can you want to change your phone with me ? Rs [email protected]
So, did we figure out how to change bands on View 10 ?
I'm in Canada and using Rogers network. My device is bought from India BKL-L09
I have set the region to Canada
The LTE is working and showing
My problem is that the download speed is horrible (will never exceed 8 mbps).
I've switched my SIM in other devices and I'm getting up to 100mbps.
Any advice?
