[Q] Mate 7 from OPPOMART

I just has a quick question.
Which version of the mate 7 (gold version) is being sold on Oppomart.com.
On Oppomart it says their phone supports network:GSM: GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz , WCDMA: Bands: 900/2100MHz, LTE FDD: Bands 1 / Band 3 .
But this isn't the mt7-tl10.
The mt7-tl10 (aka international version) supports:
The both SIM supports the same LTE and WCDMA frequecies:LTE FDD:B1/B3/B7 TD-LTE:B38/B39/B40/B41;WCDMA:850/900/1900/2100MHz.
The GSM frequecies of the two sim are different:
GSM frequecies of SIM1:850/900/1800/1900MHz,GSM frequecies of SIM2:900/1800/1900MHz.
Could someone who bought the gold version from OPPOMART check his device?

I can only tell you what they told me in October. They said they had the MT7-TL10 version and send me a pic of the box to verify that. But again, that was in October when they were first getting their stock, so they may have expanded their offerings since then. I didn't buy it because I needed the L09 version.

LTE networks, bands and modes for various countries

Just thought i should post this since i noticed a lot of people complain about LTE not working for them on their Mate 7 even though their network operator has LTE. Well the truth is that unlike 3G, LTE has two different modes. One called TDD/TD(Time Division Duplex) and another FDD (Frequency division duplex). What this means is that if your LTE network is on say the FDD mode, and your mate 7 supports TDD, even if your frequency is supported it wont work for you due to the fact that your mode isn't supported on the device. This happened to me and i did a research and found the reason. Though there are some devices that support dual mode LTE (meaning they support both the TDD and FDD) but unfortunately the AM7 doesn't. Especially not the one that shipped to Nigeria. Mine supports TDD but unfortunately the only 4G network available for use on mobile in my country (Smile network) is on the FDD.
Also check this blog for your network operator to see the band, mode and frequency it uses. Hope am allowed to post links but if not moderators should feel free to remove it. Thanks

Your information are a bit off. The Mate 7 distributed in Nigeria supports both the FDD and TDD LTE. It just does not support the band that Smile is using which is FDD 800MHz or Band 20. It supports the TDD 2300MHz (Band 40) supported by both Spectranet and Swift Networks in Lagos. iPhone 6 supports both bands 20 and 40 in Nigeria. I think the people in Huawei in Nigeria miscalculated since only Swift and Spectranet are available in Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria.
These are the bands supported by the Mate 7 sold in Nigeria. FDD-LTE 1800 / 2100 / 2600 and TDD-LTE 1900 / 2300 / 2500 / 2600 (Bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41).

HUAWEI Honor X2 GEM-702L 4G - (newb)

I'm in the UK,
Will a Phone SIM from Three UK network work in the HUAWEI Honor X2 GEM-702L 4G ?
the reason I ask here rather than Three support is because those guys previously steered me wrong,
any advice appreciated before I order this phone from China, thanks guys.

In the UK the bands used are bands 1,3,7,8 and 20. The Gem-702L has bands 1,3,7 and 8 but not band 20. I'm pretty sure band 20 is the lower mhz (800 MHz) band for in building coverage (similar to T-Mobile's band 12 here in the US) You should get LTE just fine but in buildings where LTE coverage isn't the greatest you may only get 3G as the X2 doesn't utilize band 20 in the UK. From what I see for Three is that they use 2100mhz for 3G and 800mhz and 1800mhz for 4G. The X2 doesn't have 800mhz but has 1800 mhz so 4G should work.

Sorry. Posted on the wrong thread.

I am on Three in Austria here use "3" LTE 2600 and 1800 MHz perfect for Mediapad X2 703L and 702L,since the two have no Band20
But Three in UK use LTE Bands 1800 and 800MHz,only Mediapad X2 701L supports 800MHz (Band 20)
But LTE 800 is used only in rural areas and in the city the 1800MHz

Hiya, I'm on the 3 network in the uk, GEM 702L and I have no problem with 4g or any other network issues.
Bought the phone from 'Oxford Street' on amazon, not directly from china.

many thanks guys,
it turns out the phone I have ordered is the GEM 703L version, according to the Huawei web site it uses the following 4G bands
1800MHz (Band 3)
2100MHz (Band 1)
2600MHz (Band 7)
UK Three network uses 4G on
1800MHz (Band 3)
800MHz (Band 20)
and 3G on
2100MHz (Band 1)
it should be OK.

Honor 8 FRD-L04 Network Compatibility / Frequencies

Hey guys,
Does anyone know the actual Network Frequencies the Honor 8 (FRD-L04) supports? I'm finding varying results across the web and can't find one answer.
I'm going to be in the U.K. for an extended time and want to make sure the FRD-L04 supports 3G and 4G while there... Through my research, I'm quite certain that this phone supports LTE bands 3 (1800MHz), 7 (2600MHz), and 20 (800MHz) which means LTE won't be a problem in the UK...
My question is this: What 3G / UMTS frequencies does this phone support? On Best Buy it lists "1700, 1900, 2100, 850, 900" which is good because that supports UK's networks, but I can't find the same frequencies anywhere else, and Huawei hasn't been much help. As long as it supports #G frequencies 2100MHz and 900MHz, I should be good.
I attached Best Buy's specs below.
Can anyone confirm that these frequencies/bands are in fact supported by the Honor 8 FRD-L04 model?

Perfect. Thanks.
Doesn't WCDMA only work in the US though or should it work in England too?
This type of stuff confuses me haha.

3G in United Kingdom = 2100 MHz and 900 MHz

Depending on what UK Cell Provider you are with. You might be able to get LTE/4G coverage in the UK, I'd suggest researching UK Cell Providers first.

Hi all,
I have a similar predicament. I am wanting to buy the FRD-L04, but I split my time between the USA and Australia. However, I'm confused as there seems to be multiple different sites listing different things for the LTE band capabilities of this model.
In the US, I use T-Mobile. Which looks as though it is fully covered.
In Australia, I use Telstra, which uses LTE bands 1, 3 and 28. It looks as though 1 and 3 should be fine, but no 28 (not a big deal).
Frequencycheck seems to disagree, however BestBuy and Honor's own site seem to agree. Can anyone confirm that the specs on Honor's site are accurate?
Thanks.

Specs in the Honor site is the accurate one. Frequency check website shows wrong info. It is happening for many devices.
You should trust the manufacturer website.

Honor 6x BLN-24 Band 20 LTE and Band 8 WCDMA Support

I puchased the Honor 6X BLN-24 to for my mother for the sole reason that it was stated on Amazon and other sites that it had Band 20 (800MHz European Digital Dividend) support. The hihonor.com store also states it has Band 20 https://store.hihonor.com/us/honor-6x/specification
However it turns out it only has the following support for the American bands. I noticed this while on vacation and saw only 4G on her phone, not LTE. It turns out she was on WCDMA 2100MHz Band 1
Primary SIM card:
FDD-LTE: B2/B4/B5/B12 (mFBI B17)
WCDMA: B1/B2/B4/B5
GSM: B2/B3/B5/B8
Secondary SIM card:
GSM: B2/B3/B5/B8
Is there any way to root and "change" the phone software and radio to the European Huawei Mate 9 Lite? Or somehow add at least Band 20 LTE (and hopefully Band 8 WCDMA)
Thank you
M

Bumping. Anyone have any idea of you can rebrand/change radio?
M

same issue here. were you able to fix it?

That's a hardware thing, unfortunately no
