SM-N920C vs SM-N920I

Although I've read through more than a 100 posts, I still wonder if there is any major or significant difference between the two models...
Specifically, I'm debating if the N920I can work smoothly in a network where the official sold device is the N920C ? Is there any foreseen performance degradation or incompatibility issues ?
Many Thanks.

Hello
I believe there is no differences.
I'm using 920i in Brazil, where the C model seems to be the official one. The phone is working great and smoothly.

N920I LTE bands:
B1 (2100MHz), B2 (1900MHz), B3 (1800MHz), B4 (AWS), B5 (850MHz), B7 (2600MHz), B8 (900MHz), B12 (700MHz), B17 (700MHz), B18 (800 MHz), B19 (800 MHz), B26 (800 MHz), B28 (700MHz)
N920C LTE bands:
B1 (2100MHz), B2 (1900MHz), B3 (1800MHz), B4 (AWS) B5 (850MHz), B7 (2600MHz), B8 (900MHz), B12 (700MHz), B17 (700MHz), B18 (800MHz) B19 (800MHz), B20 (800MHz), B26 (800MHz)

OTA support
Sir are you getting OTA updates in Brazil?

Will this phone work in the UK?

I'm getting this phone and since it's not released in the UK, I'm buying it online and was wandering if it works on the UK networks, specifically Three.
2G Network
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network
WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network
LTE B1 / B2 / B3 / B4(AWS) / B5 / B7 / B8 / B12 / B17 / B18 / B19 / B25 / B26 / B28 / B38 / B39 / B40 / B41
If not, which variant does work in the UK?

I use with 3... 4G is awesome! Getting upto 70mbps.
Will work on all networks, some wont have 4G IE Voda and O2. Which Model will you be getting?

There are two threads which deal with people buying to use in the UK. Read those - all the answers are there with loads of helpful advice.
In short make sure you buy a 920C. That is the best model for the UK.

Correct frequency bands support in X526 (indian Le 2)

Hi,
As Lemall india is already dead, I don't find any reliable source to confirm what are the frequency bands supported by my Le 2.
As per flipkart:
GSM - 850, 900, 1800, 1900 (2/3/5/8);
WCDMA - 850, 900, 1900, 2100 (1/2/4??/5/8);
4G LTE (FDD) - 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20,
LTE (TDD) - 38/40/41
Now, lets check on frequencycheck.com
GSM : 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS: B1 (2100), B2 (1900), B5 (850), B8 (900), B34 (2000), B39 (1900)
LTE:
B1 (2100)
B3 (1800 +)
B7 (2600)
B38 (TD 2600)
B39 (TD 1900 +)
B40 (TD 2300)
B41 (TD 2500)
The data on different sites varies a lot..
I am planning to go US and wanted to check what bands are supported by Le 2?
Help will be appreciated.
Regards

I have x520 .

Thanks. I will check my box. Hope the information on it is correct.

The box for my phone suggests flipkart is right

Lte ca 4.5g

Hello, is there any way of enabling carrier aggregation on mi8? I can't get 4.5g working, on my mix 2 it was working by default

I'm having the same problem here with my Mi8, can't see the 4.5g

What is 4.5G?It is LTE+?

It's basically fast internet speeds as on wifi. Carrier aggregation is combining bands to achieve this

Sorry, here in Brazil we have a lot of denominations. and yes it is the LTE+ or 4G+, usually i say LTE+, i don't know why i write 4.5G.

Im living in Austria and on some places i saw the 4G+ signal on my Mi8. So, i can tell you, thats its working.

Brazil uses B28 band to 4G+ and B28 is not supported by MI8.

Yes here vodafone greece B3 B7 and B20 for LTE

LOL Don't say this kind of things LOL
4G+ is 2 bands at the same time, not one.... LOL
We have 2 bands in some citys, like manaus, B3 and B7
And others the B28 is getting to work now, like SP with 3 bands B3 , B7 and B28, they are ALL 4G CELLS
When you put together 2 bands like B3+B7 you get the 4G+....Doesn't matter if you have 28...

please go here and rate for this important feature (carrier aggregation for band 3 with 7), thank you all

General Samsung Galaxy S23 -- different models (SM-S911x) (B/U/W/N/0/E)

When new phones are released, I always find this confusing, and have difficulty tracking down accurate information. Perhaps writing it down here, and getting feedback from the community, can help some other people:
GSMArena reports the following models:
SM-S911B
SM-S911B/DS
SM-S911U
SM-S911U1
SM-S911W
SM-S911N
SM-S9110
SM-S911E
SM-S911E/DS
source: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s23-12082.php
Typically there are lists suggesting which model corresponds to which geographic market. I'll work to track that info down, and add it here.

Looking through the firmware listings on sammobile (and Kimovi for S911E) here are approximate geographic regions for models:
SM-S911B -- Europe / Africa / Middle East / Oceania
SM-S911B/DS -- (assumed same as above, Dual SIM)
SM-S911U -- USA
SM-S911U1 -- USA ( factory unlocked )
SM-S911W -- Canada
SM-S911N -- Korea
SM-S9110 -- China / Taiwan / Hong Kong
SM-S911E -- Latin America
SM-S911E/DS -- (assumed same as above, Dual SIM)
sources:
[1] https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s23/firmware
[2] https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-samsung-galaxy-s23-sm-s911e

additional updates

Another thing I've tried to track down in the past is radio bands / frequencies.
Kimovil seems to have dedicated pages for five various models (which means it covers 8 of the 9 models from the OP list), so I'm posting them here.

Wow. I just realized that S23 has no Exynos models anymore. Has the Samsung gods answered our prayers to finally bring bootloader unlocking to Snapdragons or will it stay locked?

@webhook Right?!?! If I'm understanding correctly, this XDA article says:
... the bootloader of the US and Canadian Snapdragon models can't be unlocked, a design which essentially forced most of the modding jobs centered around the Exynos-powered editions. This changes with the Galaxy S23 series, as all regional variants are now powered by a modified Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

Sounds like our prayers have indeed been answered!
And I think this post by @afaneh92 shows that's right :-D In fact, they have several examples of custom recoveries running on S23 models.
The reason I'd started this tread was becausefor the S22 I had all kinds of hassles trying to weigh which variant was the right choice; the US models couldn't be unlocked, but the international ones didn't have quite all the right radio bands/frequencies. I never ended up buying the S22 because of it.
Seems like that's all a thing of the past.

On another thread, someone else has indicated it's possible we may be celebrating too early. Apparently it is possible that, Sammy used a uniform chipset, and still went out of their way to create extra bootloader locks for specific region variants.
I pm'd afaneh92 to try to clear this up.
If my excitement has led us astray, I deeply apologize.

You are correct.

I can't find firmware for S911E，So I guess there was no S91xE
