I'm a new user so I can't yet post links, but you can easily find the link on the GearBest website if you search for "Mi Mix 3".
In the product "Tips" description it claims that the phone is unlocked for worldwide use. Not particularly sure what they mean by that because I was under the assumption that the international version was not yet available. I'm wondering if this version on Gearbest is any different from the ones currently sold on AliExpress by the Mi Global Store.
I've never bought a Xiaomi phone before so I'm a little confused about the difference between the Mi Mix 3 versions currently available and this international version that is yet to come.
It most likely just means the phone works on all networks, its not carrier locked or missing important bands.
I don't think there is a difference between the other sellers and gear best, most likely the international version will have exactly the same bands if not very slightly different.

Ahh I see. Yeah I believe you're right. I noticed someone asked a question on the GearBest page about the phone having google services and the seller responded saying it didn't, so it's probably the normal Chinese ROM it seems.
This is for the 256gb 8 and 10gb ram

what's the difference between various letters after n915? i read about brand versions, so, I assume:
n915a - at&t version
n915s - sprint version
n915t - t-mobile version
but n915g, n915, n915f? is there also a verizon version or any other brand/no-brand shoud i become aware?
i come from an european no brand s4 gt-i9505, i'd like to buy a compatible (if possible no brand too) note edge.
and, another question, is there knox technology in this phone too? and if it is, can i root/flash/mod it without lost warranty?
thanks in advance
...well i guess i was right don't buying it.

many thanks, useful and friendly users!
You definitely don't want the Verizon version n915v.
T mobile and AT&T have gsm phones, but you'll have to look at which can be unlocked.
I would ask on the note 4 forums since it is similar and you'll get more views there.

Right now the only GSM version that has root (if you are buying a US carrier branded device), is the T-Mobile version.

That is the W8 model they reviewed. (Canada only model)
Would that have something to do with it? I don't keep up on all the bands/frequencies that all the carriers all over use.
I really was hoping the S6 would move away from all these region specific models since they are managing the radios on their soc with Broadcom now.
You almost have to buy an iPhone if you travel internationally a lot. I don't know of any other phone that has everything covered by the radio.

The Sony Z3 sold in Taiwan has most world bands on it of LTE.
Samsung and HTC suck at this. They should at least release an international model on their own website for those who do not mind forking out full price to get an unlocked model with most LTE Bands for those travel often.
Still just GSM though right?
I thought the iPhone covered much more than that. Maybe I'm wrong..

Some more clues. It's safe to assume that some model in the list above is the variant with Snapdragon 855 and 5G. Being in the forefront of 5G devices is probably a good idea for the brand... personally I dont want 5G yet, if you buy a 5G phone you will be a beta tester until 2020
https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/12/...55-driven-prototype-displayed-at-media-event/
Seems one of the upcoming devices will be with Snapdragon 710 variant of Dual Display.
Just like Nex A the little brother of Nex S.

Yes, the title sums up what I'm curious about.
Turns out I got an Xperia M2 Aqua with a broken display as a hand-me-down from a friend. I fixed it and it's working great! (check the pics if you'd like).
Spoiler: Pictures of the process

It's alive!
It works and looks great!
... except for the lack of proper LTE bands for my carrier, specifically bands 4 and 17. So yeah, it's currently stuck on 3G/HSPA, which is fine for chatting and checking email, but can be a bother for more intensive tasks.
I know there's another model of the M2 aqua which properly supports such bands: the D2406. Would cross-flashing the modem/baseband from that model do anything?
I actually thought about doing a motherboard swap but I would have to dumpster-dive the local phone repair market to get a motherboard from that specific model (or buy one online), and I can no longer justify the cost, time and effort haha.
I remember reading some LTE band unlocking tutorials for qcomm phones which used the USB diagnostics mode and QXDM or QPST for altering raw values. It seems very risky, that's why I'd rather ask if someone here has had a positive experience in this area, and if so, I'd ask for guidance or advice on the matter.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I found these in the stock rom of the SM-T280 and SM-T285 tablets.
inside /system/media there are 4 files, I have attached a zip from the SM-T280.
I also made some videos of the animations:
SM-T280:
SM-T285:
These sounds sound like something out of a knock off phone... Why are they on these tablets???
Remnants?
One said that these were from China Mobile... but how did they leave them in 2 TABLETS?
IMO you should ask China Mobile and/or Samsung this question.

How can I ask China Mobile or Samsung a question about a long discontinued product
Another possibility is to ask Google Bard your question.
Looks like there was supposed to be CMCC 3G and LTE variants of this tab at one point...?
And yes, CMCC's branding is cringe. That particular LTE logo got widely copied by knockoff Androids later, hence your impression.
