Hi everyone,
I'm planning on buying the new S7 but I'm just interested in the Snapdragon version. Here in Europe we only get the chance to buy the Exynos one I will be visiting the US in the following months, and I would like to know if there is any US version for the S7 that has the following bands:
2G/GSM: 900, 1800 MHz.
3G/WCDMA: 900, 2100 MHz.
4G/LTE: 800, 1800 and 2600Mhz. - 1500 MHz will be deployed in a near future in Spain, so it's not so important -
I have been checking on the internet about several variants, but I didn't find any trustworthy source with that information. Thank you for your time guys!
Hey
I'd like to know the same.
I don't want the exynos one.
The snapdragon 820 model will get Cyanogenmod and other roms..

Thank you Blade22222 for the information. I still don't have really clear if there is an US version that matches the bands I described on the post. I'm afraid it won't be possible. I'm trying to get some more inforation but I don't find anything

You will be fine if you buy a US version and get it unlocked to work on any carrier globally.
You can compare the above bands from the last post with this list of frequencies to confirm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands
EDIT: You can also look at T-Mobile's bands here, they are almost identical the Verizon one: https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/android/samsung_galaxy_s_7#id_1299991

Yes. I believe the difference is that the US version has the 1700AWS band for T-Mobile. Global has the 2100 band that works better overseas.
Ok thanks I don't have TMobile or one of their subsidiaries anyway and tend to travel over seas in the summer so looks like I made the right choice anyway

i own the uk 8gb version screen capture of preferred list bellow
Thanks for the help guys
I'm thinking of getting the G. I will use it in Germany for 3 wks next year, and use it once (2-3 wks) in Taiwan when I visit my friends and family. I will mostly use it in the US trying out different prepaid plans. I think I'd better get a US version, but is there any chance to get 3G in Europe or Taiwan with a US version?
Thanks.

No with the US version you will NOT get 3G in Europe or Taiwan. You will get 2G however. If you want 3G overseas you need to the global version but you lose T-mobiles AWS band support.
thanks. Is there a phone (moto x, nexus 5, or anything) that support 3G band of all carriers in all regions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
A thing that I've noticed in the reviews is that the US versions of the phone, the cases (at least the black one) has a "metallic" look on that M on the back while the Global / European version that M it's only glossy.
Just got my US 16gb model yesterday via Amazon. Back cover has a glossy black "M" logo, nothing metallic about it.
Bummer to hear this phone won't do 3G in Europe, I went with the USA model since I just moved over to T-mobile, and a lot of the 3G signal in my area is still on 1700 mhz. My AT&T phone was getting 3G in a lot of areas, but just enough EDGE data to annoy me and make me buy the G.
Hello everyone,
I bought a Moto G III 2015 xt1541 model but doesnt work in my country :/
I need to change to a xt1540 bands
XT1541: GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 - UMTS/HSPA+: 900, 2100 - LTE: B1 (2100), B3 (1800), B7 (2600), B8 (900), B20 (800)
XT1540: GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 - UMTS/HSPA+: 850, 1700/AWS, 1900, 2100 - LTE: B2 (1900), B4 (1700), B5 (850), B7 (2600), B17 (700)
How i can convert or change base bands of xt1541 to xt1540...?
thanks for all
Damn it, I have xt1540 that doesn't work in my country? As I've read so far, that's hardware specs and can't be changed :/ Where are you from?

I´m from Argentina.
And... where you from?
My cell phone is new in box... i bought it one month ago in spain, so couldn´t use it for the damn world bands.
Is your cell phone new? we can trade them...
Found a way but can't complete the process
Hi! I'm from Argentina and I have exactly the same problem: bought a phone in Spain and now it doesn't work here.
I think I found a way to unlock the frequency bands but I cannot complete the process, as I get stuck in step 6 of this guide.
If you look at the replies you see "success stories", and that someone managed to do it in Moto G XT1032 (my old phone), but I do not understand his steps (this guy over here)
If you find a way to explain it easier we would really appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I think I have the reverse problem that you explain. In my case, a friend bought the mobile phone in America, if I'm not wrong, in US. What I could have checked is that model is XT1541. Then, she came to Spain and the phone is not getting network data with her mobile phone operator. I'm thinking the problem is the same as you, the phone is compatible with some bands that are not used in Spain...
I can't seem to find the list of CA bands. I saw it before but can't seem to find it again.
FRD-L04 supports the following bands
GSM
850
900 (E-GSM)
1800 (DCS)
1900 (PCS)
UMTS
B1 (2100)
B2 (1900 PCS)

B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1)
B5 (850)
B7 (2600)
B12 (700 ac)
B17 (700 bc)
and since its an LTE-A device, Carrier aggregation is possible.

Where did you get this information from? There's a site called FrequencyCheck claiming this, but it contradicts the information from Huawei/Honor - and Honor's live chat confirms it is incorrect. I'm not going to have my Honor 8 for a few weeks, but I sincerely hope this information is incorrect.
The official information (from https://store.hihonor.com/us/honor-8/specification ) is:
LTE FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B20, WCDMA: B1/B2/B4/B5/B8, GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
Interband CA: B2-B17,B5-B4,B5-B2,B2-B12,B2-B4 Intraband Continuous CA: B2
Given I plan to use this phone in the UK, I'm obviously seriously hoping that this is the correct set of info...

Oh. Got that info from that FrequencyCheck website only.
According to the Official website it has B8 and B20 in addition to the bands I mentioned in my post.
If confusion over sources is the problem, why not take a look at the FCC's tests? https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...id=RVnBofSaGkQDhYOqmiLX/A==&fcc_id=QISFRD-L04
The RFExposure document says that only the downlink of Release 10 CA is supported, with a max of two carriers. It does not have R10 uplink CA, ESC-FDMA or Uplink MIMO, or any other R10 features. Uplink comms are R8 specs. (Sect 1.3.3)
(7.1.17 has some more info on CA.)
In that same document, there's a power reduction specsheet showing the distribution of each band over various antennas. From there, it looks like these are the supported bands:
GSM:
- 850
- 1900
UMTS:
- II
- IV
- V
LTE:
- 2
- 4
- 5
- 7
- 12
- 17
(Sect 1.3.2)
Section 1.3 has a really clear listing, since it's the EUT (Equipment Under Test) Description. It lines up with the above information.
So @AllieKitty, the FCC doesn't mention anything about LTE/UMTS B1, B3, B8 or B20, not does it say GSM900 and GSM1800 are supported. It's possible they just didn't test those bands, since they aren't really used here, but I think they'd still be listed in the Device Configuration.

Is there a reason to not get the FRD-L09 (VAT or something)? It supports LTE 3, 7, 20.

The FRD-L09 doesn't support bands 2, 4, and 12 though. Also, it costs a LOT more - got my L04 (in my friend's possession in the US right now) for $259.99 on Amazon.
As for the FCC... that means nothing... the L14 has the same FCC tests. ONLY bands used in the US get tested by the FCC. Which makes the band 7 tests odd, as band 7 isn't used in the US yet - but it is used in Canada. My understanding is that band 7 is a possibility for future use in the US, which is probably why this needed testing.
PS thanks for the FCC link, I found the correct list under the description of equipment in the RF test report:
FRD-L04 is subscriber equipment in the GSM/WCDMA/LTE system. The GSM frequency band includes GSM850 and
GSM900 and DCS1800 and PCS1900. The UMTS frequency band is B1 and B2 and B4 and B5 and B8. The LTE
frequency band is B1 and B2 and B3 and B4 and B5 and B7 and B8 and B12 and B17 and B20. But only GSM850 and
GSM1900MHz，UMTS frequency B2 and B4 and B5，LTE frequency B2 and B4 and B5 and B7 and B12 and B17
bands test data included in this report. The Mobile Phone implements such functions as RF signal receiving
/transmitting, LTE/HSPA/UMTS and GSM/GPRS/EDGE protocol processing, voice, video MMS service, GPS, AGPS,
NFC and WIFI etc. Externally it provides one micro SD card interface (it can also used as SIM card interface),
earphone port (to provide voice service) and one SIM card interface. FRD-L04 is single SIM smart phone. It also
provides Bluetooth module to synchronize data between a PC and the phone, or to use the built-in modem of the phone
to access the Internet with a PC, or to exchange data with other Bluetooth devices.

Me too! The band 7 testing is odd. Those frequencies are used in the US for TD-LTE (as band 41). Band 7 is a theoretical possibility from my understanding but unlikely. Sprint would be in the best position to try to get their spectrum paired to use as band 7, but why? TD-LTE offers benefits FDD-LTE doesn't in efficiency. Canada uses B7 tho, so that may explain it.
Anyway, to reiterate for OP's sake in case it got lost in the crowd:
Interband CA: B2-B17,B5-B4,B5-B2,B2-B12,B2-B4 Intraband Continuous CA: B2
I have confirmed EU-version (FRD-L09) CA Combos: https://cacombos.com/device?model=FRD-L09 - only Contiguous CA seems support.
I saw that you can pre-order the Ultra 3 on Amazon.fr and Amazon.de. This must be the EU model. Releasedate on Amazon.de is 28 december.
EU modelnumber:
White: 90AK0012-M00420
Gray: 90AK0011-M00400
Pink: 90AK0013-M00410
really interested to see if this model will have different LTE bands than the Asian counter part.

yes, this might be great news, or a great disappointment. let's hope for good news!
GSMArena doesn't seem to list the bands: http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_ultra_zu680kl-8130.php
An online shop (which I don't fully trust, so I won't give a link to eglobal) suggests 4G on
700MHZ 700MHZ
(B20) 800MHZ (B20) 800MHZ
850MHZ 850MHZ
900MHZ 900MHZ
1800MHZ 1800MHZ
2100MHZ 2100MHZ
2300MHZ 2300MHZ
2600MHZ 2600MHZ
which in theory covers some UK carriers (officially 800 and 2600, but some are using 1800)... but as I say, I don't trust them.
the 3G bands listed are these
800MHZ 800MHZ
850MHZ 850MHZ
900MHZ 900MHZ
1900MHZ 1900MHZ
2100MHZ 2100MHZ
which omits 1800, which is odd. I'd have thought that these phones would be multimode and be able to run 4g or 3g on a common set of bands.
---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------
I can't find the phone on amazon.de any more. I wonder if they pulled the listing after mistakenly posting it? It's still on .fr, is eur650, which US$680 or GB£555.
That makes it quite a premium. I've seen it as little as £410 elsewhere, but that would be an import.
doesn't appear to be on amazon.es either.
I just noticed that WondaMobile now list this phone, and I trust them a little more to get the tech specs right

Does the XT1541 model supports the following network frequency range?
LTE (4G)
FDD band 3 (1700~1800 MHz)
FDD band 8 (900~960 MHz)
I have checked gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_(3rd_gen)-7247.php though I prefer to be 110 % sure.

The XT1541 supports LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20, according to multiple sources... all we are going to do is Google it just like you, but when all sources agree I don't think there is much chance it is wrong.
FrequencyCheck, GSM Arena, and Wikipedia all agree... If you are still in doubt, use https://willmyphonework.net/ and check your specific situation.
