It seems that there is some confusion over the capabilities of the dual SIM slots. My understanding is that they will both handle 2G but only one will handle 3G and then only for one Chinese network. It seems to me that this is not a shortcoming of the MTK6589T chip but rather a decision made by Xaiomi. on what and how they will enable these ports.
Anyone have any better understanding or news on this?
I'm looking for a cheap nice chinese smartphone, but I want it can be rooted, because I love tweaking, flashing... Can this be rooted?
Eventually will be.. For sure

What bands does It support? Chinese phones often lack proper UTMS support. Need 850/900/2100mhz as a minimum..

There is the standard dual sim version of hongmi that supports GSM frequencies (900 / 1800 / 1900) and TD-SCDMA that AFAIK works in China only. They say there will be a white version too that is going to support W-CDMA frequencies :victory:

That's correct as far as I can tell.. no W-CDMA on the Red Rice. I ordered mine (I am happy with 2G only considering the other specs - I mostly use wi-fi) a month ago from www.ibuygou.com and am still waiting with no firm indication of when it will be despatched. Seems they are in very short supply.
For those wondering here is a direct link from the address above.
http://www.ibuygou.com/p-original_x...inch_ips_capacitive_touchscreen-5392-usd.html
I live in the US and use Tmobile, would love to see a WCDMA version in black. Had a friend from China visit and its a sweet little device especially for the price. Can't go wrong. I know I could buy the current model and only get 2G/Edge from it. But really hoping a wcdma model sees the light of day.

This phone should be the best relation price/quality/specs. A best seller for sure.

Can you ask your friend to buy it for me in China and then send it to me? The online shops are killing us with the price! -.-
i think a 2g and a 3g in dual sim is the hardware limitation on mtk device..
but u could find rom with 3g swap capabilities so u can choose which sim that have the g3 without changing the sim card position
new arrived

Have been searching the whole day, but is there any difference in supported LTE bands between the US and Europe model? I haven't found any differences... Seems there is only one unlocked model? (Differences aside from RAM).
Visiting New York in January, this looks like the ideal phone for my girlfriend… Hope to bring one home for her.
EU is HIA_AERO_UHL same as M9 ：）
The only international LTE bands that the unlocked US model supports are 3 and 7. Okay for occasional roaming in Europe but not enough in my opinion if you were going to use it there all the time.
That is because of soft or hardware? I bought US modell because of 3/32 GB, hoped there is no real difference....
working great for me in Germany
Hello all,
for me the unlocked 32GB version is working greate with LTE (tmobile network) in Germany.
MarcMarin
Where did you bought it?
What kind of cable / power supply did you get delivered with? (german or not)
Hi guys,
I just wanted to share this with you as I've purchased
in the past from these guys and had a great experience!
Right now they have the U Ultra for a really good price:

P.S= I hope this is OK for me to post it here, if not please let me know so that I can remove it ASAP.

Hey there,
Not that I am 100% sure, but I've called this statement into question in another thread, I'll repost here.
In one of the threads here on XDA, another member suggested he ordered the intl. model and it didnt support the right bands for the USA. Leading me to think there were multiple models.
I'm starting to think there isn't, here is why.
1. Michael Fisher (I think he's in Canada) imported a TW market phone for his early review. It appears to have LTE in the film, and he doesnt mention anything about incompatibilities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIWbn8ecKwA
2. Jeff Springer (I think he's in the USA) imported a HK market phone, it also appears to have LTE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fclOYUyfxnE&t=522s
I believe the belief that the intl. model doesnt support USA bands (2/4, etc) comes from the practice (poor practice, admittedly) for HTC's Taiwanese website to only declare the bands that it perceives are relevant to Taiwanese users. The HK website suggests the same as taiwan = FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 TDD: B38/B39/B40/B41
The UK / India / USA / AU sites all state - FDD: Bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B20/B28TDD: Bands B38/B39/B40/B41
With USA & AU not stating support for dual sim, but HK, TW, India, UK do.
I believe there is only one model (with multiple software variations), and the information published being variable.
I now know there are at least 2 model numbers. U-1u (Taiwan and HK confirmed to use this model, dual sim), and U-1h (single sim, AU and UK confirmed). But given the info above (michael fisher and Jeff Springer both importing the U-1u, and seemingly can connect to north american lte, seems to suggest that the band support for U-1u is wider than the official website specs)
HTC U Ultra - got from imobilephonex
Hey there
I got from New HTC U Ultra form imobilephonex
Really good price & brilliant phone :good:
Here is the breakdown officially from HTC's website. The dual band international version is missing 2, 4, 12 and 17. 17 being the most important one.
So get this I wake up to a text from FedEx saying I have a package coming I didn't order anything else so it's out for delivery! I checked the HTC site and it still says it hasn't been shipped and no tracking number!
It's cheaper on eBay (649) and it's from a US based seller instead of having it shipped from Asia. What is holding me back from this phone is the horrific resale value of HTC and LG products. Once the S8 is announced/released this HTC U Ultra can be purchased for an insane amount less than full retail. Apple and Samsung phones hold their value well even used but unfortunately phones like this are not worth buying new for full retail IMO.

Having an LTE sign does not mean it supports the entire range of the network.

That is why I'm asking.
So, in Europe, at least officially, the 64GB version will be the only one available. Right?
I'm almost decided in to buy the U11 but...
...I had the M7 and I have the M8 and I'm not very happy about how HTC handles the updates, it is too slow.
If you look in to One Plus forums, the 3T already have android 7.1.1.
How about the HTC M10? I think it only have android 7.0. If it is true, almost nothing have changed since HTC M8's time
Do you think guys the 128GB/6GB of ram will be push in global? Or only specific countries? Also will be there a problem about with the roms after that? I mean the roms for 4gb will work also the one with 6gb of ram right ?

And in the Middle East as well, which is technically Asia, but usually separate for marketing purposes )
Coming from Germany, does anyone know where I can order the 6GB/128GB version? Any shops that ship oversees?
I pre ordered mine on jarir.com. The 128gb/6gb ram will be released I think on the first or second week of June.
Hope this helps.
Hi all,
Will the 6/128 version likely have any issues working in the UK?

I'll be buying from Jarir too but will wait until it to release. I think the free earbuds that comes as a promotional offer is not worth it. Price will definitely go down after release.

I think the freebie if you pre-order is worth it. It costs 699 from JBL. I owned JBL products - JBL go speakers and JBL headphone. Both were excellent so I guess the earphones will also be good.
I will give you an update as soon as I tried the free earphones.

Does anyone know if the 128GB version will have the same radio frequencies as the North America models? (64GB)
I want the extra storage space but the radio frequencies for the new LTE 66 is more important.

Thanks mate. No official date in the Kingdom yet. But it's exciting.
Singapore has the 128GB / 6GB one for sale which is the international version.
The phones here are all unlocked according to law and can be used overseas.
If it is any help, the RRP for the phone is 722USD / 560GBP. Solar red will be unveiled in the same config first week July.
Cheers!
6G ram/128GB rom is factory unlocked, dual sim variant which will deliver to customer on 15th June 2017 in Vietnam, the stock price is ~$744.
Personally I think it shall be a little difference in hardware at least eMMC, blah blah, just waits for official hand-on
Hey guys
Long time since I've posted on here!
I've just upgraded from my trusty 8GB/512GB Note9 N960F/DS to a 12GB/512GB S22 Ultra S9080/DS (SD) on TGY (from techinthebasket).
The phone is currently on TGY CSC but I'm wondering if anyone knows whether BRI would be better for use in the UK, specifically on O2UK?
I can see 5G is enabled, and there is 5G in my area (my wife can get it on her iPhone 12 Pro on Sky, which is hosted by O2) but I can't seem to pick up 5G on my S22. I know the 9080 only has the N78 band for O2 so maybe that's the issue - if there's only the lower band 5G in my area...
Just wondering if anyone has any experience regarding TGY vs BRI in the UK?
Thanks

I live in Sweden and the net configuration in Sweden and the UK are all almost the same. The TGY or BRI are the same phone just different SW customization, but you will not notice any difference at all.
The 4G support is very good but not 5G, the 5G band support is limited.
If you want to buy a better model, look for "SM-S908E" model. You can find it from Etoren https://eu.etoren.com/products/sams...ual-sim-sm-s908e-256gb-phantom-white-12gb-ram
I don't recommend BRI (Taiwan) or TGY (Hong Kong) if you want to take advantage of 5G. Also the SM-S908E has e-Sim in addition.

Unfortunately the only option for 5G in the UK is with a Exynos variant. Even though your device reflects 5G is enabled and it has the corresponding 5G Band, it's not going to connect. Snapdragon is a much better choice even though you'll sacrifice 5G and Carrier Aggregation and of the 3 SM-9080 variants Hong Kong TGY is your best option.

Thanks for your replies guys, I really appreciate it!
Can I ask, Carrier Aggregation, that's 4G+ isn't it? If so, it's getting 4G+ OK - did a few speed tests earlier and was getting 117Mbs download speeds... Does that should about right for CA? (It's faster than I saw with the Note9 on 4G+ on the same network anyway)

No, Carrier Aggregation is different than 4G+ but if you're getting 117 MBs that's enough for most situations, right? Carrier aggregation is used in LTE-Advanced in order to increase the bandwidth, and thereby increase the bitrate. I can't see rolling the dice on a Exynos variant just to have 5G. And it is a roll of the dice. Samsung's Quality Control is asleep at the wheel.
Something many don't realize, wafer yeild in Samsung's Foundries for the Exynos SoC was a dreadful 30% but it's Snapdragon yeild wasn't much better at 35%. If I were to consider an S22 Ultra it would be after Qualcomm moved it's production to TSMC's Taiwan Foundry in June or July. That will mark Qualcomm's next gen chipset. But even then problems could still nag the device since the marriage between Android 12 and OneUI 4.1 has to date been a messy affair.
I imported a Samsung Galaxy Note²⁰ Ultra from Hong Kong to use on the UK Network.
It was a TGY variant and worked flawlessly.

I think I read a post from you on the same subject on the Samsung forums before I picked up this phone! That's actually the reason I thought I'd go ahead and get a TGY one!
Hi.
Yes I've discussed this on the Samsung Eu forums too.
Just an update in case anyone is interested - I did a speed test (OOKLA Speedtest) comparison via the browser on both my S9080 TGY (12GB/512GB) showing 4G+ on O2UK and my wife's iPhone 12 Pro showing 5G on Sky (runs on the O2UK network) from the same location last night.
My phone got a maximum of 145.7mbs download on 4G+, her iPhone hit a maximum of 53mbs on 5G in the same location. Of course, they could have been connected to different cell towers etc.
The Hong Kong TGY variant is the closest you'll find to a pure android experience on a Samsung device. Less bloatware, best overall network connectivity with one exception. Samsung should modify it's 5G capabilities so it will work on as many networks as possible. Another improvement would allow system apps to be removed or at least disabled, which will likely never happen. Those two modifications would be a huge step forward.

Samsung do this on purpose to cripple devices and stop people from different regions buying the same product. Similarly with their warranties, its only valid and recognized for the country that the device was intended for. A pure anti consumer move by Samsung. Opposite of the evil Apple, whereby their iPhones don't have bands or CA crippled nor do they deny warranty for customers of other regions.
Just a quick update on this, I've just 'upgraded' my O2UK SIM only tariff to the same 150GB deal but told them my device is 5G enabled this time (I was on a Note9 previously). Anyway, tariff change is completed and I now have 5G (Can also see that HD Voice over 4G is active too)
