Is the phone a USA version?
If its indeed the USA version, You will have similar service on both ATT and TMobile but you will be missing band 14 on ATT which might effect your service. Also, you are unlikely to have much 5G coverage if that matters to you as this phone only has 3 of 5 ATT 5G bands and 2 of 4 TMobile 5G bands. The missing 5G bands are of the mmWave veriety so the only 5G you can get is 5G Nationwide which might actually be slower than 4G/LTE depending on the area.

I think the main difference between Chinese V10 and European/US View 10 is the LTE bands. Do you know if it's possible to unlock band 20 on the Chinese version?
Can the CMDA be used on verizon?
No. No Verizon or Sprint.
Must have t-mobile or at&t correct?
Yes, and any smaller carrier that depends on their bands.

Before buying an unlocked phone to use on a US GSM network, you need to research the 4G FDD radio bands used by the carrier and make sure the phone you want supports those FDD radio bands. (Verizon users, even when Verizon abandons CDMA in 2019, you won't be able to go out and buy any phone with the correct FDD bands and that supports VoLTE to use on their network. Verizon has made it clear that it will only provision phones that it has tested and certified.) Here's a link with US and Canadian carrier bands. https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/what-are-the-cellular-frequencies-of-cell-phone-carriers-in-usa-canada

Best I can do is recommend you search this page by the carrier in India that you use, it will tell you if you'll get 2G, 3G and LTE with the Honor View 10, TD-LTE BLN-AL10. https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/QePYuJz/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-td-lte-bln-al10/india

That one is incorrect
Says the l09 don't support lte in America
It does
As far as India
Look at these bands
hi all,
I need new phone that work in US on TMO LTE
does it support all TMO current bands and it works?
for example Poco does on paper, but can't register to TMO LTE, so no usage.
thanks
Works perfectly on tmobile.
Yes
which bands?
how much speed do you see?
thanks
Best phone you can get for TMo.
I have tried it with speedtest side by side with the TMo flagship display phones in the TMo store (e.g. SGS9) and the 6 slaughters them all.
It uses all bands from T-Mobile for LTE 4, 12 and 71 which is the newest 600mhz spectrum they bought last year.
what is tmobile going to do with all the people who own the Sprint LG V50 (LM-V450PM)?
do we get a free upgrade to a tmobile 5g phone since the sprint v50 5g is not compatible?
I called and they offered a Samsung S20 free lease. You would think a deal from a LG V50 for a LG V60 but I guess that wouldn't make sense.
can you explain how you were able to do that or who you spoke with because i called and asked and they did not offer such and told me they never heard of that or offer such a promotion.
tmobile put a sim card in to test the 5g and it works (at least the korean version 450 lg v50 but all of them should). the rep told me initially, the 5g may not have had the necessary coverage in bandwidth but tmobile is starting to open up more bandwidths as 5g becomes more available and more common. i am in a heavy 5g area covered by tmobile.
I have the Sprint V50 and I can confirm 5g is working on T-mobile.

No, it does not There is a difference between showing 5G in the notification bar and actually working 5G.
This https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/i8qjyk/why_is_my_lg_v50_showing_5g_thought_sprint_shut/ explains technical details.
5G radio on the Sprint variant of this phone is not compatible with T-mobile's 5G network.

I used the LTE discovery app, and it just shows EARFCN (LTE band unknown.)
What is a little confusing is that the specs here https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_v50_thinq_5g-9607.php
Shows the phone supports 260 and 261. which from what I understand T-mobile uses.
I can confirm when I first got the device, all I got was LTE. Not too long ago all of a sudden I did get the little 5g logo on my device.
That is a bit confusing.
I bought international Note 20 ultra with Exynos chip. I am using it here in USA on AT& T network, but it seems like the 5G bands are not compatible with European 5G's networks because I am getting horrible speeds. Even on 4G. I went to AT&T store to see if they can do something, and they upgraded my plan to 5G plan, changed the sim card but that did nothing. Anybody knows if the bands are same for international models and US models? I am ready to sell the device in Europe and buy unlocked US version. What speed are you guys getting? I am lucky to pull 30mbps, in some areas not even that. I live in greater Los Angeles area, so there should be good coverage, right?
I do not believe they are the same

I'm curious to know why you imported / purchased the N20 Ultra with Exynos when we in the Uk and other regions are clamouring for the Snapdragon version ?
I was tempted to import a N20 Ultra from Hong Kong but was advised against it due to possible issues with signal and connectivity.
5G bands are totally different. You won't get 5G on ATT

I have spend more than 6 months in Europe last year, so I was thinking it's no big deal to buy in Europe. I also root my phones regularly, which lately is not that necessary, I have to admit.
Hi, I'll be visiting the US in about 2 weeks and will be getting a prepaid sim for about 6 weeks during my stay there. In the past 5G in the US was not supported as the international variant of the galaxy series was an exynos modem. However this year with the snapdragon modem will there be a difference?
Has anyone tried to bring a global snapdragon version of the s22 ultra, specifically the S908E/DS to the US and gotten 5G to work? I am thinking of either using AT&T or Google Fi. If you have a better recommendation, I'd love to hear it. Or if it won't work in the US, if someone could clarify why, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the help!

I see, thanks. So I see some of the bands are supported for 5G with Verizon/Tmobile/AT&T/ etc. Does that mean 5G will partially work, or for that provider to work all of the bands the provider uses must be available?

you can narrow that search down to provider, but you would be best researching the area you will be visiting and which network provider has the best coverage, different carriers use a variety of different bands

Yeah I narrowed it by provider, and as I mentioned the phone has most of the networks, but no mmwave and missing 1 or 2 5G bands, but still has 3-6 bands depending on the provider.

its not the phone missing the band, as such, its just bands are split between devices so as to keep the networks from being overloaded on a single band

Gotcha. In the past I've looked at the 5G coverage map, and pinpointed my location. It says that the area is covered for 5G. At&T's map does not say what bands are covering that area though, it just says 5G. Is there somewhere else you mean I should go?
If it's just there, as I mentioned the s21 ultra that I had last year on the exynos modem didn't work. According to the site you shared, the s22 snapdragon international version has the same bands. So you think it's likely that it won't be supported either, or should I be looking somewhere else?

it doesnt sound like it, but its possible that your carrier maybe or have upgraded its 5g roll out its best to compare current/latest checks from your carrier and manufacturer as the dates for other sites, like the link i shared may not be current
