Will a Pixel 7 Pro purchased in USA be same bands etc. as Europe and work ok?
I don't know if this will help you or not. The Pixel 6 Pro had three hardware models. For the Pixel 7 Pro, Google's site only lists two: Regarding P7P 5G model numbers and capabilities
GSM Arena lays out the phone specs, including cellular bands wonderfully. Here is a link to the 7 and 7 Pro:
Compare Google Pixel 7 Pro vs. Google Pixel 7 - GSMArena.com
www.gsmarena.com
What's interesting is that the base model 7 appears to have slightly more 4G and 5G bands than the 7 PRO ( space restrictions inside the 7 PRO with that big battery?).
I could be entirely wrong here but I do not think more or less band support has anything to do with internal size constraints. I think it has more to do with licensing. Maybe there are fewer bands on the 7 Pro because Google expects to sell more of them in countries where those extra bands are not needed.

Looking at the Google Store listings for both, it appears the 7 includes band 42 of LTE (and 7 Pro doesn't, as you note). I doubt if space restrictions have anything to do with it, though. They both use the same modem, and what's enabled or disabled in each phone should be just via software.
Pixel 7 Pro (both [5G mmWave + Sub 6GHz] GE2AE and [5G Sub 6GHz] GP4BC):
LTE: Bands B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/32/38/39/40/41/46/48/66/71
Pixel 7 [5G Sub 6GHz] Model GVU6C:
LTE: Bands B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/32/38/39/40/41/42/46/48/66/71
Meanwhile, the Pixel 7 [5G mmWave + Sub 6GHz] GQML3 has less LTE bands than either:
LTE: Bands B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/38/40/41/42/46/48/66/71
(The GQML3 Pixel 7, while still including band 42, is missing bands 32 and 39.)

The German Google Store still only lists two hardware models: GE2AE and GP4BC - the same two that are in the United States Google Store.

I need some help from the developers on this forum. I live in Botswana and both carriers here are GSM 900, which is the most 'popular' European carriers frequency. Few days ago I ordered the LTE version Shield Tablet from USA. In the specifications that I found the North American version radio has support for other frequencies than European -
North America LTE: Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 17 (1900, 1700, 850, 2600, 700)
HSPA+: Bands 1, 2, 4, 5 (2100, 1900, 1700, 850)
Outside-North America LTE: Bands 1*, 3, 7, 20 (2100/1800/2600/800)
HSPA+: Bands 1, 2, 5, 8 (2100/1900/850/900)
My question is if there is any chance for me to flash the European firmware to change the supported GSM carriers or this will be impossible?

Nope. No chance at all.
Just thought i should post this since i noticed a lot of people complain about LTE not working for them on their Mate 7 even though their network operator has LTE. Well the truth is that unlike 3G, LTE has two different modes. One called TDD/TD(Time Division Duplex) and another FDD (Frequency division duplex). What this means is that if your LTE network is on say the FDD mode, and your mate 7 supports TDD, even if your frequency is supported it wont work for you due to the fact that your mode isn't supported on the device. This happened to me and i did a research and found the reason. Though there are some devices that support dual mode LTE (meaning they support both the TDD and FDD) but unfortunately the AM7 doesn't. Especially not the one that shipped to Nigeria. Mine supports TDD but unfortunately the only 4G network available for use on mobile in my country (Smile network) is on the FDD.
Also check this blog for your network operator to see the band, mode and frequency it uses. Hope am allowed to post links but if not moderators should feel free to remove it. Thanks
http://www.huaweimobileshop.com/blog/4g-lte-frequencies/
Your information are a bit off. The Mate 7 distributed in Nigeria supports both the FDD and TDD LTE. It just does not support the band that Smile is using which is FDD 800MHz or Band 20. It supports the TDD 2300MHz (Band 40) supported by both Spectranet and Swift Networks in Lagos. iPhone 6 supports both bands 20 and 40 in Nigeria. I think the people in Huawei in Nigeria miscalculated since only Swift and Spectranet are available in Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria.
These are the bands supported by the Mate 7 sold in Nigeria. FDD-LTE 1800 / 2100 / 2600 and TDD-LTE 1900 / 2300 / 2500 / 2600 (Bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41).
Hi everyone,
I'm planning on buying the new S7 but I'm just interested in the Snapdragon version. Here in Europe we only get the chance to buy the Exynos one I will be visiting the US in the following months, and I would like to know if there is any US version for the S7 that has the following bands:
2G/GSM: 900, 1800 MHz.
3G/WCDMA: 900, 2100 MHz.
4G/LTE: 800, 1800 and 2600Mhz. - 1500 MHz will be deployed in a near future in Spain, so it's not so important -
I have been checking on the internet about several variants, but I didn't find any trustworthy source with that information. Thank you for your time guys!
Hey
I'd like to know the same.
I don't want the exynos one.
The snapdragon 820 model will get Cyanogenmod and other roms..

Thank you Blade22222 for the information. I still don't have really clear if there is an US version that matches the bands I described on the post. I'm afraid it won't be possible. I'm trying to get some more inforation but I don't find anything

You will be fine if you buy a US version and get it unlocked to work on any carrier globally.
You can compare the above bands from the last post with this list of frequencies to confirm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands
EDIT: You can also look at T-Mobile's bands here, they are almost identical the Verizon one: https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/android/samsung_galaxy_s_7#id_1299991
Does the XT1541 model supports the following network frequency range?
LTE (4G)
FDD band 3 (1700~1800 MHz)
FDD band 8 (900~960 MHz)
I have checked gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_(3rd_gen)-7247.php though I prefer to be 110 % sure.

The XT1541 supports LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20, according to multiple sources... all we are going to do is Google it just like you, but when all sources agree I don't think there is much chance it is wrong.
FrequencyCheck, GSM Arena, and Wikipedia all agree... If you are still in doubt, use https://willmyphonework.net/ and check your specific situation.
Someone made a comparison for Pixel 3 between US Google Store and SG (Singapore) google store, the spec difference between these two sites for Pixel 3 will be the US version of Pixel 3 will not have:
UMTS/HSPA+/HSDPA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
Will this affects the user as malaysia (like i am) operator still using HSPA+ frequency?
