Does anyone have experience with the Korean version and using it in the USA with GSM carriers like AT&T, tmobile, mint etc.?
Does the Korean version have bloatware ?

The more I search for other smart phones, the more I Hate T-mobile!
Supposedly there is only one hardware version of the OnePlus One.
But I know that the Chinese version of the One has trouble on some networks in the US, like no LTE support and very limited T-Mobile support.
My question is, is it possible to flash the baseband of the international version to the Chinese version and pick up those bands? (Specifically the 1700 band is what I'm looking for.)
I know there is a hacked WCDMA band that was posted on the chinese forum, but I don't really care about that one. I'm just wondering if the international baseband has been posted anywhere, and if it will work on the Chinese version.:fingers-crossed:
Bump.
I've heard this as well. I would be more than willing to pay the $389 from oppomart and flash it myself.
You can get 4G LTE on T-Mobile, its listed as 4G and not LTE but you do get LTE.
Edit: nevermind you're talking about the Chinese version.
I have the Chinese OPO on T-Mobile here in the US and I get no 4g just hspa+ but its not bad at all. It would be nice to get an international modem though

Does Chinese OPO + International Modem get 4G?
I have an aunt who is visiting me in America for a month. She will be going back in few weeks and she is interested in purchasing a note 3 in America since it's cheaper. Question is.. is it possible to use US based phones work in korea? Which carrier Note 3 would work the best?

In theory, the phone should "work", as long as you can get it unlocked from the carrier. They should all have quad-band GSM, so you should be able to get data too. LTE is a different matter though. South Korea providers use bands 1, 3, 5, and 8. Both the AT&T and T-Mobile Note 3s support band 5, but that's the only one, and the Sprint and Verizon ones don't support any of those bands. SK Telecom and LG U+ use band 5, but SK Telecom also uses band 3 and LG U+ uses band 1, so your aunt might not get full LTE coverage if they use those other bands to fill gaps or something - but I really can't guess.

How much does a Note 3 cost in South Korea (USD equivalent)? Because you can get a "international" Note 3 32GB (N9005) from eBay or Amazon for $550-560. It supports LTE on bands 1, 3, 5, 8, and 20. So while she's in the US, she could pick up a pre-paid SIM from T-Mobile or AT&T (not Sprint or Verizon) or one of their MVNOs and use it in her new phone. She won't get LTE, but she will get 3G. If you're in a city, I'd recommend going with a T-Mobile MVNO (MetroPCS, for example), since they have a very strong 3G/HSPA+ network. But more importantly, it'll work on all the bands in South Korea, regardless of carrier.
Hello guys. I am traveling to USA this week and I wanted to buy a second hand Galaxy S7, from Craigslist.
I live in Brazil, and I was wondering which US carriers I can buy that would work here. (All Brazilian carriers are GSM)
Sprint? Cricket? Verizon? AT&T? T Mobile?
Thanks!
AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM carriers. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. Also, the S7 model SM-G930U is unbranded, unlocked and supports both CDMA and GSM. Be cautious about purchases from Craigslist. Don't want to scare you too much, but you might want to read this for some pointers about staying safe and not getting ripped off.

Thanks. I ended up buying the international version on amazon for 520 dollars. Thank you
i'm waiting for a good deal on black friday in US to use it in India.
Which version to purchase?? kindly clarify
Has anyone heard about whether the Korean version of the Fold 2 would work in the US? I am thinking about picking one up in Korea but wondering if I will have issues in the US, especially with bands.
lte bands shouldn't be an issue to unlock, 5g bands though are at this point a no go in us.
This is based on my f9160 and YMMV but should be able to be tweaked the same.
