Hi,
im thinking of buying the 12gb/256gb version of the 8t for EU/Germany, but in silver (dont like that green at all).
So there is no 12gb version for germany in silver.
the chinese version can be convertert to a global/eu with flashing the proper rom, but does it also open the 4G bands for EU (especially band 28, with would be more used in germany), or does the eu and chinese variants NOT have the same hardware (the modem)?
i dont find a sliver+12gb variant anywhere to buy outside of germany but in the eu...
thanks in advance for some hints.

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.

Where did you bought it?
What kind of cable / power supply did you get delivered with? (german or not)
hey guys, i'm looking to buy one of this. I know there is international verison (64gb) and chinese version (32gb and 128gb). Which version support LTE network in canada? thanks
International support more bands so should be better.
I have the Chinese Mate 9 in Canada, and works fine on Wind / Freedom Mobile. Haven't tried the other carriers.
You could always look up the compatibility of the Mate 8 to Canada's networks from last year, I highly doubt they've taken away compatibility in the new version. Willmyphonework.net didn't have an entry for the Mate 9 in their database yet, last time I checked. :/

There are 2 Chinese variants (TL00, AL00) which won't support Canadian LTE bands. L09, L29 (dual sim) is ok. Check this out: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=device&s=compare&ids=10928.10923.10918.10917
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.
I bought a Samsung A42 5G from Rakuten. It is a 8Gb RAM version, model SM-A4260.
I live in France, and I use Prixtel MVO with the Orange network (3500Mhz antenna for 5G already open where I live).
5G is not working, even if the model I use has the good 5G bands:
Network: 5G: n1/n3/n5/n7/n8/n28/n40/n41/n78/n79 / (France is using n3, n28 and n78 right now).
Is it possible that it does not work because it is not the SM-A426B european model ? Software volontary limitation ?
4G LTE bands work perfectly...
Any idea to solve my problem ?

Do you think it is possible to flash the official international ROM of the SM-A426B on this Asian SM-A4260 version ?
The hardware seems the same...
Hello,
I bought this wonderful phone (Oneplus 8T) in Europe but it doesn't work in the USA.
According to this page https://www.kimovil.com/it/frequency-checker/US/oneplus-8t my "Global" version can't receive Band 71 (660 MHz) but the "Nord America" version can do it.
Is there a way to flash the USA firmware so to have all the needed Bands or it will be an HW problem?
Thanks in advance.

I bought the European version and mine works well in America. I'm on T-Mobile. Who is your carrier?
So, you bought the EU variant or the global variant?
My carrier is T-Mobile too. And the phone works very well in some places, but not where I need.
I am waiting for a confirmation but in the house where my daughter lives the only one band is Band 71.
Murphy's law, I think.
You can convert between the different oos versions without much problem but the band support can't be changed it is configured in hw, which we can't modify.
