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.

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 all,
Anyone have a list of countries / regions / variants for the S6?
Sm-g9200, sm-g9208, sm-g9208/ss, sm-g9209, sm-g920a, sm-g920f, sm-g920fd, sm-g920i, sm-g920p, sm-g920s, sm-g920t, sm-g920v, sm-g920x, sm-g920w8
Jesus, Note 4 fiasco all over again. The only thing I actually like about iPhone, not one for every letter in the alphabet.

LOL I agree with you there... They should change their model naming convention too as with the Note 4 you need to know the CPU from the variant list its not in the model name/number.
Also same about the iPhone 6 ... look at all the LTE bands it supports! Most Samsung phones only include the bands for the region in which the variant is destined.
Ditto on the multiple variants fiasco. I believe the Iphone 6 has only a handfull of models those with CDMA and FD/TD LTE.
my 2 cents
@$%! Since I could not discern via either GSMArena or Phonescoop, I was hoping I'd find out here whether the AT&T phones would be drastically different from the T-Mo ones. I dream of the day when phones are 100% portable from one GSM carrier to the next.

When i get a chance I will look at the f_c_c documents and it tells you which bands are tested. There is a difference, but I'll have to double check to see exactly.
I am especially curious to know more about the S6 Active as I have a mind to buy it (from AT&T, as I understand it) and then put it on my T-Mobile account. The other details I'd like to see are the 700 MHz bands; I have my fingers crossed that T-Mobile goes after populating their 700Mhz band quickly as I believe that'll rectify some coverage/saturation issues they experience.

NIce! Thanks for finding that!
"As reported by Fierce Wireless, until 2013, AT&T had maintained that it would not support Band 17 alongside Band 12 because it “would be too expensive and would cause interference.” But since then, the company has changed its stance.
“Specifically, the company said it will develop, implement and deploy throughout its network multi-frequency band indicator (MFBI) capabilities that will let its network operate simultaneously in both Band 12 and Band 17 and support devices in both band classes.”
What this means for T-Mobile customers is that, potentially, they can roam on AT&T’s 700MHz network in areas where the carrier doesn’t have its own LTE. And – after the move to alter terms by the FCC – AT&T won’t be able to charge whatever it likes for the privilege. It also means that a number of AT&T’s devices on sale will – if unlocked – be compatible with T-Mobile’s spectrum."

Strange, there is no mention that i can find in the FCC docs of Band 29.
I haven't confirmed cases in which the FCC doesnt list or test certain radio functionality of a device, but I suppose it is possible.
Do you have a source?

That would show that the FCC isn't testing those bands. In this case, the FCC Docs are not fully indicative of the full LTE band support of a device.
Interesting, as this is something I suspected but a bit unsure about.
Found an article on Talk Android published pre-release of the S6. Unfortunately I can't post the link as I have <10 posts on XDA.
They list the variants for the S6 as shown below:
SM-G9200 – China
SM-G9208 – China
SM-G9209 – China
SM-G920A – AT&T
SM-G920D – NTT DOCOMO

I know it's a little old but may still be relevant.
Jock
so is it just me or is the international black version different looking than the US black version.
To me it looks like the international black version has a black metal bezel and the US is silver metal.
The SM-G9200 is also Dual-Sim. I have read that it's CAT4 LTE rather than CAT6. I would have thought all the S6 variants would be CAT6. Is it possible that it's CAT4?
now is the hardware the same for each version? I am thinking of getting a S6 but one thing I like about the HTC One is that HTC only makes 1 phone which is the same around the world. I feel this makes things easier for Devs.
Can anyone Confirm the NETWORK Frequencies on :
SM-G920W8/SM-G925W8 ? (On samsung ca web-site non info shown about it) LINK
SM-G920S
SM-G920K – KT
SM-G920L – LG Telecom
SM-G920M – Brazil
Can anyone found samsung web-site for those Models?
There is a chance that G20 and G25 from the same area Model could not supoort the same Frequencies?
I don't trsut other web-site I found there errors before.

Just want to start off by saying I've read a lot of posts on this forum and love the people and the phoneis awesome and so I really want one, but I don't know which model to get? I live out in the Midwest using T-Mobiles network. Which model will work best with T-Mobiles network and is their a model that supports 4G LTE that works in the US? If anyone can provide a link to the right model to buy for my situation or any information will be greatly appreciated!

You need to get model MT7-L09 with 16GB ROM and 2GB RAM. It is available for purchase on Amazon and ebay. The MT7-L09 is compatible with both the AT&T and T-Mobile GSM networks. LTE speeds should be available everywhere on T-Mobile with the MT7-L09, but it seems to only be available on AT&T in certain locations. I installed the LTE Discovery app from the Play Store on my Mate 7, and I verified that I am able to get an LTE connection on AT&T in certain places.
So I've found an MT7-L09 model on newegg but according to the info on it, it doesn't support 4G on T-Mobile. So does it truly support 4G or not?

I've had my MT7-L09 for 6 months now with service through MetroPCS, which runs on T-Mobile's network and I have 4G coverage. I get absolutely great speeds with my phone. I purchased mine through BHPhoto.

T-Mobile uses the following frequency bands for 4G/LTE:
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
Lower 700 MHz band 12 (in development) / in service in selected areas
The MT7-L09 supports bands 2 and 4, so it will get LTE data rates on the T-Mobile network pretty much anywhere. The phone will show "4G" when you are on LTE.
On the other hand, AT&T primarily uses 700 MHz band 17 for LTE. Since the MT7-L09 doesn't support band 17, you can't get LTE data rates on the AT&T network in most places. However, AT&T does use bands 2 and 4 in certain areas. Therefore, some people are able to get LTE data rates on AT&T with the MT7-L09, depending on where they are located.
I have AT&T, and my data rate alternates between LTE and HSPA+, depending on what part of the city I am in. Honestly, I don't even notice the difference between the two during normal use. I also own an iPhone with LTE, and the MT7-L09 seems faster even when it is on HSPA+.
Looking to get a Mate 8 but need LTE on T-Mobile; Which model gets T-Mobile LTE? Which model do you have and what speeds are you getting?

Get the AL10. Don't think about it, just get it. You will not be disappointed.
I have had my Mate 8 for a week and a half now and I have to say, it is the best phone I have ever had. I live in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area and I am using it with T-Mobile as the primary in sim1 and AT&T secondary in sim2. It has had the best reception, connection speed and connection quality of any phone I have ever used. I have used them all. The battery life is off the charts. I am coming from the Note 5 DUOS but before that I have been using the Note 5(T-Mobile), Note 5(AT&T), iPhone 6S Plus(AT&T), Lumia 950XL, LG G4(T-Mobile), iPhone 6 Plus(T-Mobile) and many more. This phone blows them all away in the overall speed dept, battery life, network connection quality, speed and strength, and the overall phone experience.

Another LTE question on top of this T-Mobile one.. Will this work with Verizon? I'm sure it wouldn't work 100% but looking at the specs it appears to have everything necessary to run on Verizon's LTE network (similar to the HTC A9). Just wondering if that is indeed the case.
Does it support Wi-Fi calling from T-Mobile???
guys, seriously: check the supported 2G/3G/4G bands, and make sure your provider supports the functions that u need. thats it! if it has the bands, it will work. if not, then it wont. as easy as that

My wife has a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 which does not have band 12 but the call quality is great and sounds "HD" which means I'm skeptical that the Mate 8 is using the Band 12 T-Mobile VoLTE because Huawei could be getting that call quality through other means. Remember, this company has their hands in a lot of the back haul technologies too. My concern is the same reason why T-Mobile asked all 3rd party manufacturers to discontinue use of Band 12 Because there would be a potential to not be able to call E911 in an emergency.

An unlocked AL-10 should work on Verizon no problem but no one has tried it yet. My CL-00 sees Verizon's network (and only Verizon's network because it is CDMA / LTE only being a Telecom phone), I may try and get a friends sim card to see if it actually works though. Any of the other models don't have CDMA radios listed.
https://translate.google.com/transl...r.huawei.com/cn/mobile-phones/mate8/conf.html
Also to answer OP any of the models should work on T-Mobile with 4G LTE expect the CL00 model, in theory the CL00 model should even work but I've yet to see someone get it working, with that being said only 3 people on here have received them me being one, hopefully someone finds a solution.

I gave my Nexus 6 to the wife and VOLTE is definitely working on my Mate 8 because it sounds much clearer when I talk to her than most other people who don't have VOLTE. You can always tell when you're actually on it as it sounds like the other persons voice has a lot more high tone to it.
It will work fine. I am with Bell Mobility and the Beast Mate 8 works wonderfully well. Even better than devices I bought through my provider in the past.
Anyone figure out how to get wifi calling on tmobile?

Hi all, I ordered a 32 GB Pearl White (presumably FRD-L04) on Amazon's Black Friday sale, I live in the UK, had it shipped to a friend in the US. According to hihonor, the phone should support all the US and UK bands. According to FrequencyCheck, only the 64GB (FRD-L14) US model supports the European bands 3 and 20. Which is correct? If the phone I ordered won't support 3 and 20, I may as well return it now.
Thanks!
I also bought Honor 8. Only difference is that US version is single sim and much more LTE bands. According to official site it should support that bands.

Yes, I believe FrequencyCheck is wrong, but it claims the European bands 3 and 20 are only supported in FRD-L14 (the 64 GB version) and not in FRD-L04. Hopefully this is untrue.

Hey guys, can you update on this?
I'm studying abroad in England for 5 months and I have this exact model of the Honor 8, and wanted to know if I can get a reliable 4G LTE connection while I'm in England... I'm going to get a plan with Vodafone, EE, or O2 when I get there. If you could let me know, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

That's why I'm asking the 2 people who commented in this thread, they live in the UK and can tell me for sure.
Here you go here is a list for radio bands compatibility list for Honor FDR04 /14 /01 AND 14 for use in UK with most of the providers..
www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/K0BOsOx/huawei-honor-8-dual-sim-lte-a-frd-l04/united-kingdom
You can select any country by the way.. If I were you op for Virgin mobile or Plusnet both run off EE but have better signal and deals to the overs..
I bought the FRD-L09 model while I was overseas and I live in the USA, the salesperson assured me it would work on 4G here but it definitely doesn't... If you still have the FRD-L04 model would you be willing to trade? Mine is the blue 32G model and it is basically new, I bought it about a month ago. I love the phone but only having 3G is killing me...

Thanks for this, but as someone stated above, I think Frequency Check is wrong here. According to Huawei Customer Care team on Amazon, the supports bands 3, 7, and 20 which are used for LTE in the UK, while Frequency Check doesn't have those.
I have posted a picture of both Huawei's listed network frequencies compared to Frequency Check's.
I never even knew that Honor released a single SIM variant of the Honor 8. I thought all Honor 8's were dual SIMs.
I can confirm Frequency check is wrong. I'm not back in the UK yet but I'm getting LTE on SoftBank in Japan. A warning - this model follows the American practice of calling 3G "4G". Only "4G LTE" actually means 4G.

Awesome. Thanks, this is very relieving for me! Loving the phone so far... Had to put Nova Launcher on it but that's OK. I'm quite confident it will work in the UK now.

Did you have any luck? I will be traveling with this and am trying to figure out the discrepancy between Honors specs and Frequency Check (and also the FCC testing report).

I think it's because not every country use every bands so Honor indicates only bands used for specific country.
I make an example: Band 20 could be used in USA but not in UK so indicates on UK version it have Band 20 is useless for UK's people
