Hi,
does anybody know if this phone supports UMTS on 850 Mhz? According to the specification on the HTC Europe homepage it does not. Here in Latin America according to some salesman the version for America supports it. But since this model is not yet on the HTC Latin America homepage i'm not sure if it was already launched or if even exist a vesion for America.
thanks,
no version for US avail yet. The US version, assuming its a GSM phone (not CDMA), would support 850. But no announcement offically about that yet. ALL CURRENTLY AVAILABLE DIAMONDS as of July 2, 2008 DO NOT SUPPORT 850 UMTS, and to date, no one has found a way to make it support 850 UMTS (i.e. it is a hardware issue, not a software or ROM issue).

If we (I) am lucky,,,this will happen.

It has been announced here in Australia that our biggest carrier, Telstra will market the Diamond exclusively for 3 months from the end of July with a 850/2100 UMTS version. Other carriers here use 900/2100 UMTS.
So where we normally get these devices early with Asia and Europe, this Telstra deal will push us back with the U.S. I don't think we will see a 900 UMTS version here till end October, unless we buy online from HK or elsewhere with compromised warranty.
Bummer.
Telstra in Australia has announced that the "NextG" i.e 850MHz UTMS/HSDPA diamond will be released in August
The Diamond will go on sale in Australia on July 28th at the T-Life stores in Sydney and Melbourne.
All other Telstra stores will stock it from August 4th.
According to the T-Mobile site there are only offering the international version, This is on the USA site.
International
Quad Band GSM; LTE: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850), Band VIII (900)

Am I missing something here. I will correct this if I am wrong but this must be a joke giving me a phone thats the international version when I live in the US.. Not to mention half the bands and other things are missing... I have contacted T-Mobile and I am making sure this gets escalated .
I'm pretty sure by "international" T-Mobile is just listing the bands to give those who travel outside the States a reference. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the international "version". If you look carefully, the bands listed on the T-Mobile website match exactly with the NA ver bands on the Nexus website.
All is well. No need to stress about it.
They might actually sell in international one. After all it doesn't need CDMA bands to run on t-mobile. But this would definitely mean the t-mobile ones won't work on Verizon.
Unless I am overlooking, I see that half the bands are still not there or the lacking info on the North America Stuff. Haa trying not to stress about this
Yeah I really don't know what bands t-mobile uses. I can say that I would be really surprised if they sold you a phone that wouldn't work on their network.
That's not true.

I'll correct my post,, but tell me what I am missing. I am just stating what I see on the site.
T-Mobile is selling the North American variant. It is listing the bands under the "International" heading for those who travel internationally, you will know what bands your phone will work with.
Relax and don't get everyone riled up.

Just @askdes on Twitter. He'll tell you.
All the T-Mo bands are there. Most importantly the LTE bands (4 and soon 12) they use are there.
Hello,
I am an American going to study abroad in Prague over the next year. I currently have the North American model and was wondering if I needed to buy a new phone for the correct LTE bands, since I plan on traveling around Europe. I have used the site WillMyPhoneWork and found that 2 of the major 3 telecom providers, T-Mobile and Vodafone, support bands 1 (2100MHz) and 7 (2600MHz). However, I am missing band 20.
If anyone could help with the 2 questions I have, it would greatly help.
1) Should I expect reliable coverage, in the Czech Republic and other EU countries?
2) Am I able to lock my phone to a specific LTE/4G band, and would this solve my problem (or have downsides)?
Thanks for any responses.
As you have said, it depends on the country.
As long as other LTE bands are available you should be fine and also you can always use 3G.
As far as I know, you can't lock to a.specific band, but you can select to lock only on 3G bands, if that will be convenient for you.

You can also enable band 3 on the US model, I get 80% LTE with it here in EU.
My Red Magic 3 arrived yesterday, must say very speedy delivery, 3 days only DHL express to Australia which was excellent.
I'm having trouble identifying the different models though, I've seen reference to a Chinese (CN), Global, EU but also 'NA' versions?
Not sure if some are the same thing? I'm concerned as from what I can tell, the EU version doesn't have LTE Band 28 (which I want) but the NA version does and I'm not sure what version I have other than it was branded NX629J.

Can anyone assist please?

Yes but the LTE bands can make a big difference! Two of the major Australian mobile carriers use Band 28 so I'm trying to work out which version of the Red Magic 3 I have and if it has that band.

Try this link
https://global.redmagic.gg/blogs/news/red-magic-3-global-rom-flash-instructions
There is two version of global rom
Us is version 1.11
Europe version is 2.07
Well I have NA version but running EU Rom v2.09....when I run the CN Rom I don't get LTE just 4g. So if you not getting LTE then install your region global Rom.
LTE bands are a hardware limitation, not software, so it won't matter what rom I'm running.
I'm just trying to find out if my model has band 28 or not!
https://www.frequencycheck.com/mode...emium-edition-dual-sim-td-lte-cn-128gb-nx629j
In theory software and hardware, I will tell you In US on CN Rom no LTE just 4g....but on either Global I Get LTE.
Anybody with Global Version 128/8Gb can confirm band 20 (800Mhz)
One of colegue on forum have 128Gb from Asus UK and seems like without band 20.
So confused.
Thanks for help.

Only elite and ultimate version have B20. Strix, tencent and global 128GB not.
I'm sat next to my mate, he is on Samsung S9 - band 20 4g Vodafone UK, my direct from asus 128gb uk phone isnt. Even though I'm pretty sure the website says it has b20
Annoying as bought UK vesrion for full coverage and it doesn't do it! EE signal isn't good where I work, guess I'll have to try O2 and see what 4g band they have near by
Here's what ASUS' customer service said:
The ROG Phone II Strix edition does unfortunately not support LTE Band 20. Only the Ultimate and Elite edition does support FDD-LTE band 20, you can check this here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/Tech-Specs/ under Network Standard.

So unfortunately no B20 for the 128GB version
From asus, but this info is different to their site, it's split into models! But cheeky:!
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/Tech-Specs/
Why sell a phone in the UK that doesn't work!? I should have just bought the cheaper tencent version. Dont like this phone any more, grrrrrr.
Here we go again, asus selling faulty products. What a joke.
I wonder what Kind of bull**** they will create for rog phone 3.
It's my one and only Asus!
Thought I'd take a punt, regret it now
I've put an official complaint in, as the UK site implies it has band 20.
Doubt anything will come of it though.....
Can You share link to Asus website where is this info. I will sent complain as well.

Well ASUS are and absolute joke. Their website has changed, so they know the info was wrong. Link I posted above no longer works.
They said I should have checked the sellers site for the info, not their site, as it's only general information. WTF, you make the phone ASUS, if anyone should have the right info, it's you!
Secondly, I did buy it from Asus site, just a third party fullfiled the order. And they have said they didn't have that information anyway.
So no-one has the correct information apparently!
Who I bought it from said it's too late to send back and if I do, I'll have to pay a restocking fee, no idea what that is, but I asked them anyway.
Just a joke, I bought this on false information that has been taken away now and Asus have said nothing helpful, just they are sorry for any inconvenience.....
I'm so furious.
Can't believe. That can say some seller from Aliexpress. Sorry I'm put wrong info on offer.
But how official ASUS website can be wrong. IT'S JOKE.

According to ASUS, AliExpress would be more accurate!
Yup, complete joke.
Shame I'll have to keep the phone for a few years now to warranty the cost.....actually, the phone is great, the connectivity is terrible.
Such a shame....
Wait wait wait hol' up. If my carrier supports LTE (4G): 800/1800/2600MHz does that mean I won't be able to use 4G LTE or what???? I was just about ready to buy the global version of this phone.
The phone supposedly supports 1800Mhz (apparently that's gotta be a B3 band) . My question - do certain bands provide more or less coverage or is it all the same? I'm not sure whether I need to have both 800Mhz and 1800Mhz or just one of those bands and I don't want to lose 4G all the time because 800Mhz is more covered than 1800Mhz.
The bands the ROG Phone 2 supports:
GSM: B2, B3, B5, B8
WCDMA: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8
FDD-LTE: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B28
TDD-LTE: B34, B38, B39, B40, B41
Clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
You'll have to check what bands all the providers use and perhaps a map of where towers are and the band they have there.
Most UK networks are band 20, which is why I'm on 3G 99% of the time
