Would this get late on T-Mobile?

No as that is the Chinese model of the OnePlus One, and not the International Model. You can tell because the International model does not come with a manual in the packaging.
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.

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.
If I were to buy the international variant from gearbest, what is the different from buying US model from the official OnePlus US website. I'm in the USA. Is it the same model actually? Less band support for TMobile? Just wondering bc there might be a better deal there
Thanks

No warranty.
It is the same model but not the same variant.
It has slightly different hardware.
Usually, you get a Chinese model flashed with OxygenOS. (Chinese come with HydrogenOS).
It will not be the GM1917 and some bands will be missing.
Not sure which ones, but if you had Verizon, it may or may not work.
Unless you're saving mega bucks (which I doubt) stick with the USA site for OnePlus for warranty issues should they arise. Also, as mentioned, this way you will be sure to get all the LTE bands you may need.
This may seem silly because OnePlus Nord is sold in UK as well so there is no need to buy it from India. But there is a bit of a price difference that makes it around £80 cheaper to buy in India and I can purchase it there when I visit soon (all precautions taken during travel of course, given the current situation). So with that said, will the Indian version work in UK? Will it be compatible with the networks here? Is there any downsides? I guess I can expect VoLTE to not work as per another thread. Is that it?
Otherwise, I shall avoid being such a cheapskate and buy it from UK!
India version has all bands needed to work in UK. Specifically band n78 for 5G that is currently used by UK operators. Volte , yes will depend but there should be ways to make it work. Flashing EU build may be one option.
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.
