Note 2 International with LTE?

Seems to be the million dollar question. No question Negri Electronics calls out LTE on the international they are offering up for pre sale. Other websites show LTE included in specs also. Yet, others don't show LTE on international specs. Does anyone really know? The obvious reason is if LTE included then the international version is basically the same as the U.S. version, if LTE works on quad core that is. If same, those who don't want to wait can get international, and if LTE not inc., and if LTE is a deal breaker, will have to wait for U.S. version, and who knows when available with AT&T.
I want to pre order international version. LTE or no LTE, that is the question........anyone really know?
Will LTE work?
I can't find any definitive info on the LTE band supported by the different models.
Yes LTE wil work here on AT&T.
Turns out it's the same model xt1058
So basically, the Rogers moto x, IS an AT&T model, but with an unlockable bootloader
They dont have a 32GB version in Canada though which sucks or else I would of called my connect to send me one.
Wondering how the C6903 works on Rogers and if any owners are connecting with the 2600mHz LTE band or of LTE works in general?

I think canada is getting the C6906 officially, which is suppose to work with every carrier. And C6903 and C6906 are the same beside the H 265 playback according to Sony white paper. So I would say yes.
I received my C6903 today and it works on Rogers just fine with 4G but you have to manually set the APN info.

Or ask your network to send a configuration SMS... You just click it and don't have to do anything!
Canada is (most likely) receiving the C6906 model, which has the LTE band that will for for any carrier really. After some research, Rogers, Telus and Bell all require 700 MHz band frequencies in their phones to get LTE. Wikipedia in this sense is not a viable source of information. I'm a bit lazy but here's Bell's website claiming that their phones must have 700 MHz frequencies: http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/4G_LTE_SIM_card
I spoke to a Bell representative and she very explicitly told me that the version of the Z1 they are getting will have the 700 MHz frequency built in, whether or not it is the C6906 model is something the representative could not answer. As such, it is very safe to assume that Canada is indeed getting the C6906 model.
I'm excited. I'll be getting a friend to purchase the phone outright for me and just ship it over to my ass in NYC. Sure would be nice if I didn't have to wait another 9 days! Would be even nicer if I could purchase the phone myself instead of having a friend do it for me.
I see that the Sony mobile US site has the z3c listed as coming soon. Is it best to just wait for that to come out or will the European version fully support all of the AT&T bands? I'd hate to import a phone and not get the best reception/internet.
I know it was suggested in another thread that it would work with AT&T but then there was some confusion in another thread about the phone possibly missing 1 or 2 bands. Any help from an expert would be greatly appreciated.

I know Sony's white papers have been wrong in the past (Z1 Compact with glass back, grrrr ) but the one for the Z3 Compact D5803 has 4G bands Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20.
I've had a hunt around for AT&T's 4G bands but this seems a but trickier as it seems dependent on region, going by wikipedia it looks like the main bands are 2, 4 and 17 which are all supported by the European version per the above. It probably doesn't help that I'm not from the US and I don't have enough posts to add the URLs, sorry.
I feel like I remember reading back in the day that some companies used bands of the same frequency that weren't cross compatible. It's always made me nervous about buying non US phones. However my info could be wrong.
When I was in the states, I got a AT&T sim card. My phone definitely says that it has the lte bands. Still, it only displayed h+ while I was there. I did not bother to go back to the store and check because the speed was very good anyway. So maybe it's because the bands are different or it was working on 4g but just not displaying it, I don't know.

AT&T must provision your sim for LTE otherwise you'll only receive 3G even if the phone is capable of 4G. Usually they do this based on the IMEI of your device and if it's a non AT&T phone then it won't appear in their database as LTE capable. There are ways for them to manually configure the sim for LTE by contacting support.
The UK model D5803 definitely supports AT&Ts LTE on bands 2, 4, and 17.
Does AT&T have more bands than 2,4,17?
I found when googling AT&T LTE bands that they apparently have also started to use band 5 (850mhz) but that's still supported by the Z3 compact. This was both on AT&T's forums and howardforums but I'm not sure if AT&T need to do something else to enable LTE support on that particular device. I think my own network (3 UK) has to do this as it took a few months for my unlocked Moto X to pick up their 4G network.
From AT&T: https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/byop.html
Refer to the manufacturer's website to verify your unlocked device works with a SIM card on an AT&T GSM network frequency:
• 3G UMTS network 850/1900MHz bands
• 4G LTE network AWS / 700 / 850 / 1900MHz bands

AWS (1700/2100MHz) is band 4 (Blocks A, B, C, D, E)
700MHz is band 17 (blocks B, C)
850MHz is band 5
1900MHz is band 2
The overwhelming majority of AT&T LTE is on band 17. Bands 2 and 4 are used for additional capacity in some markets and/or some rural/smaller market coverage. I'm not sure they've rolled anything out on band 5 yet, but even so the Z3c has that covered.
OK,
thank you very much for the additional research. It seemed like that was the case but I don't trust my own opinion since I haven't done any real looking into this type of stuff in like 4 years.

To answer your original question, as far as we know there is no US model of the Z3c, only the EU D5803 and Asia D5833. If Sony sells it unlocked in the US it will probably be the D5803.
In preparation, hopefully I'll have it in a week.
Programming non-AT&T devices with the correct APN and MMS data settings
Subscribing since I'm very interested in this phone and my service provider is AT&T
Works great. I live in both NY and San Francisco, and I get LTE everywhere on AT&T.
I imported the D5803 (EU) model through Expansys.
Yes. Just make sure to get the d5803 model.
I have a Nexus 6 (XT1103) International unlocked running LMY48M rooted.
Soon i'll go to USA in vacation.
If I install a T-Mobile chip it works on my phone? I'll can make calls and access the 4G network?
Thank you!
XT1103 is the Americas model. The International version is XT1100. And yes, a T-Mobile SIM will give you LTE (if available in your area).
