Strix version modem and bands - ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers

Looking at the band listing in the XDA review, why would the strix version be missing so many (t-mobile)bands compared to its big brothers? Is it missing the x-55 modem chip or could the strix be Europe only?

[Q] No Band 12 for AT&T & TMO

Question here. I was doing some digging. I should receive my Z3 compact phone today. I read that both it and the Z3 phones do not offer band 12. I currently use Straight Talk running off the AT&T bands. Apparently, in 2013 AT&T announced that they picked up band 12. Here is the breakdown of bands used between AT&T and TMO;
AT&T:
4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, and 29
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
T-Mobile:
Quad Band GSM; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850); LTE: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17
Is the lack of band 12 causing any issues with Z3/Z3C users using AT&T?
No issues.

Will the Mi5 come with unlockable LTE bands ?

As I've come to believe from various sources the official supported bands are as follows:
4G FDD-LTE bands 1 / 3 / 7
4G TDD-LTE bands 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
3G TD-SCDMA bands 34 / 39
3G WCDMA bands 1 / 2 / 5 / 8
3G CDMA 2000 bands BC0 / BC1
2G GSM bands 2 / 3 / 5 / 8
2G CDMA 1X BC0 / BC1
Now since I live in europe .. my ISP's most used 4g (LTE) band is 20 (800mhz) and so it is not supported..
Will it be possible to unlock this band via QPST - QXDM modification, or has the band been disabled on the hardware side of the chip itself ?
I know it's very early on, but I have been anticipating the arrival of MI5 for months now, only to find a lack of european LTE support ...
thanks in advance for any info !!!
I also wonder this! Would be great for the 4G coverage here in Europe!
I'm also curious about this. If LTE band 20 is unlockable I'll buy one right away
It would be nice to know if it would be possible. I am also very interested in this phone
Here is answer from official support:

Well, that does only mean that the device does not officially support others bands. The question however was, if other bands can be unlocked.

TD-LTE (band 38, 39, 40, 41)
TD-SCDMA 1900/ 2000
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100mhz)
WCDMA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100)

We'll all just probably have to wait until someone has one in hand and can test some different SIM Card to see what it actually will support... Needless to say though is if someone at least tests with either a TMO SIM or ATT SIM and they work.... one can assume that all 18 bands do... now it's a waiting game

I'm pretty sure it will not have all of those bands. Out of luck if you want to use this and are on Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile.
They just updated the supported bands and they have some of my country.. But I don't understand quite well the difference in the 800hz to 1800 to even 2600.. if for example my device catches the 1800 band but not the others, will the signal be good, or to be perfect in need to pick them all?
Also, higher frequency means better signal?

Yes is it confirmed ! But if many people say it Xiaomi can't make Lte Global because Samsung and Apple don't want this...
But I'm sure it's not hardware but software and it possible to unlock this ?
And Xiaomi wont to shop in international but in late 2017 and this MI5 there are Lte Global in late 2017 Sorry for people want it me to
The question has not actually been answered: is anyone aware of any possibilities to unlock, via a kernel perhaps, the bands which should be supported by the hardware?
There's a good chance if you can unlock bootloader, Hugo Barra said in an interview that the India version will have those unlocked and not the model sold in China.

Is it possible to enable LTE band 20?

I currently get bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40 and 41.
I suppose 38 - 41 are for China.
Band 20, the 800 MHz digital dividend band is absent.
Is it possible to enable this band, or does the hardware not provide for it?
Thanks
I think it's hardware problem

Question LTE band support when running .eu firmware

So I am in the USA and I need to get the Chinese hardware variant for best band support, the global is missing a band or two. I just wanted to confirm with users here that if I unlock the phone and change over to the MIUI.eu firmware that it won't change the modem firmware and I keep all the Chinese firmware LTE bands?
I know the Chinese one allows English language just fine and I could use it if I have to, I've done it before on an older Xiaomi phone, but I'd rather run .eu and not have all the junk Chinese apps I don't want on the phone.
Thanks
It is the opposite, the Chinese model misses bands, not the global

With 5G it is the opposite, International/global is the way to go and has much more band coverage. But I don't have 5G where I am yet so it doesn't matter to me. By the time it does in a couple years Ill be getting a new phone at the time anyway.
Global also doesn't pass Safetynet so I don't want it.
Yes I was talking about 5g

Question OnePlus 10 Pro compatible with Spectrum Mobile?

I recently switched to Spectrum Mobile from Tmobile. I've been considering buying the OnePlus 10 Pro, but Spectrum claims the phone is not compatible with their network. I'm skeptical of their claim. They are an MVNO of Verizon, which sells the OnePlus 10 Pro, and I've read that the phone is compatible with Verizon. I also showed Spectrum the GSM frequency bands that the phone has without telling them it was a 10 Pro, and they said they use GSM. It was only when I mentioned the name of the phone that they said it's not compatible. Would anyone here be able to verify their claim?
From OnePlus:
Please note these BANDS
GSM:B2, 3, 5, 8
WCDMA:B1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 19
LTE-FDD:B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 66, 71
LTE-TDD:B38, 39, 41, 46, 48
5G NSA:n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n25, n28, n30, n38, n41, n66, n71, n77
5G SA:n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n25, n28, n30, n38, n41, n66, n71, n77
MIMO:B1,2,3,4,7,25,38,40,41,48,66, n1, n2, n3, n7, n25, n38, n41, n66, n77
you should find out what bands spectrum uses.
Im on spectrum mobile with the oneplus 10t and works just fine 5Guw
