Does the Note 9 Exynos have all the LTE bands of Snapdragon variant?

I am wondering does the Note 9 Exynos have the LTE bands of Snapdragon variant?
I am thinking of purchasing a Note 9 Exynos, but there is no concrete info if the Exynos variant supports LTE bands that is used by US variant Snapdragon.
I am thinking of using it on T-Mobile and there is no info if the Exynos has LTE Band 71 (600)

from the looks of it, i dont see it on the list of Band 71. but the irony of it is, the snapdragon version isn't on the list either??
The US SnapDragon Note 9 DOES have band 71 but the Exynos version does not.
Yes, The snapdragon has Band 71, but my comment is it is not on that list from that site... this is a more indepth list from phonearena that shows the list for each variant.

If you are referring to the N9600 variant. The Exynos variant has the majority of the bands that the N9600N has, but is missing LTE band 2300.

Tencent version vs global version

Thinking of grabbing the 12gb ram version. Any reason to get global over china version?
Global not out until late Sept but im waiting re band differences. great site https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/AU/asus-rog-phone-2
Some folks have said that bands 66 and 71 will be supported in the Intl version. I hope that’s correct.

Same here. If I cant use volte, that's a no go for me
It seem the 12gb ram Chinese Asus rog 2 have more bands than the 8gb ram one. Can anyone verify? Has the 12gb ram been release in China yet?

Here's the information for the two Chinese version. IMO the 5999 version is same as intl version except Chinese firmware.
GSM/GPRS/EDGE; WCDMA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+;TD-SCDMA; CDMA 2000;FDD-LTE; TD-LTE Same
LTE Cat13 UL up to 150Mbps / Cat16 DL up to 1.0Gbps vs LTE Cat18 UL up to 211Mbps / Cat18 DL up to 1.2Gbps
DC-HSPA+: UL 5.76Mbps / DL 42Mbps same
LTE DL 5CA same
Unknown vs Support 4x4 MIMO and CA w/ 4x4 MIMO
FDD-LTE band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 adding band 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 29, 32, 66
TD-LTE band 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 adding band 46
WCDMA band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 adding band 6, 19
TD-SCDMA band 34, 39 same
CDMA band BC0 same
EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz same
And the information on ASUS taiwan website shows that taiwan version have no TD-SCDMA nor CDMA 2000. Other are same with the Chinese 5999 vision.
Thanks. So band 66 but not 71. Ugh, that’s a shame with T-Mobile, especially with the Razer Phone covering band 66 and 71.
Edit: /facepalm. This phone can actually go on any carrier, so just have to see if any make sense.
So then is the 512gb tencent no good for Verizon? I tried Razer 2 but they said even if it has the bands to work on Verizon, they may have deleted support to get ready for 5g. Had to send the Razer back and I really want the rog 2 but I'm tired of losing signal with att where I live so I'd really like to get the correct model, if any that support verizon
I'm on T-Mobile as well, so I definitely need to know if this device supports volte in the states
I contacted Asus North America to ask if the version we get will include bands 66 and 71. I mentioned how it would be a huge selling factor for those of us on T-mobile. They responded that that would forward it to the product team.

They'd be stupid not to. Unless they like losing money. I know if it doesn't support those bands, it's not even a question anymore, I won't be getting it

Same. Where I'm at, 66 and 71 are crucial for me.

Question Flash Korean snapdragon firmware to G998U1 to change available 5G bands

Hello,
can I flash the Korean snapdragon firmware to an American model (G998U1)?
If yes, will this change the available 5G bands to the ones in Korea? Thanks.
Korean model is Exynos this year.
Also, from reading the specs on Samsung Korea's Web site, it only supports N78 & N77 Sub6 bands
https://www.samsung.com/sec/smartphones/galaxy-s21-ultra-5g/specs/
Yesterday I tried flashing my U1 with a Taiwanese firmware and it did not succeed. I'm having the same issues with bands. Where I am they are using bands B3 + B20 for carrier aggregation. So right now I am only able to get LTE and not LTE-Advanced. I guess I'm missing some sort of profile? Because the phone does support these bands.

Unlikely, since dark11b said he tried Taiwan and it didn't work.
I think Taiwan & Hong can be cross flashed, but not with American models, for some reason.

Question Can SM-G9980 (HK dual sim) be hacked to get 5G in US?

Does anyone know? It's a physical dual sim, but it is a snapdragon, exactly the same as the US versions. The US bands in 5G are not enabled on this particular model. Can it be hacked to have US 5G enabled? I have read about switching on dormant bands on the US models to get 5G in Europe. Is it possible to do the same, but the other way around, for this non US model to get 5G in the US?
It's not the sane device in hardware or firmware although there are similarities. According to a few users 5G works in some regions, Australia and Europe but I haven't heard this from any US users. Can someone root the device to enable 5G on US Service Provider's? Maybe but I would think it's a challenging endeavor for anyone but the most hardcore tech gurus.

Only 5G sub6 bands are available in HK variant - 1, 3, 28, 41, 78 and 79. Is your network using any of these?
