I'm receiving a 5x this weekend, its the international version. Does anyone have experience with this version in the US on T-mobile? I know it doesnt have band 12, so thats my only concern.
Please share your experience, so I know if I should buy the US model instead
(got the 32gb for $250 during an ebay sale).
I got the international one on ebay for the same price. I'm on Cricket (AT&T network) in the US and it works great. I have had no issues at all.

Got the same deal at the same time. I'm on AT&T and it's perfect.
awesome! glad to hear this. Im excited, i feel i should have bought 2 though lol
Looking into this for a friend, does LTE work in general on the international version in the US? Tmo bands 2 and 4 should be supported according to the spec however I've seen a couple of comments indicating no luck with LTE the US.
did your 5x end up working ok for you on t-mobile? i'm making the same consideration of using the international version for US.
I'm using the international version in Florida on MetroPCS (Tmobile) and have had zero issues, despite the radio not supporting band 12. I had the same concern as well and decided to take a gamble with it. Glad I did!
Thanks for the feedback on this. The international version can be had for $100 less. I bought one for my kid and will be using it on US Mobile (T mobile). LTE would be nice but he gets a limited data plan of 250MB so it doesn't matter. $12/mo.
No more locked bootloader phones for us, ever; now that MM requires it for root. My US G4 will be stuck on LP...

I can stand Telstra and as they are only available in Australia via Telstra, i want to purchase one outright. I want to know if anyone knows if this phone will work well on the 3 network.
The unlocked HTC desire will work on any network in Australia (not as good on telstra). I'm getting mine from clove on the 7th . Plussss, it's ALOT cheaper getting it imported from the UK, all up it comes to like $550 if i can remember right. It will be around $800 outright from Telstra.
P.S i forgot to mention that you can't get it from t-mobile, you'll have to wait for the unlocked version.

I'm pretty sure all of the T-Mobile ones are unlocked . Check with others on the forums. T-mobile is probably not an option anyway unless you have a UK address- I dont think they sell them outright??
Will definitely work on 3mobile Australia. I'm also getting one from clove. I'm checking about every hour to see if they have brought the shipping date forward
T-Mobile ones are LOCKED.
Both versions will work on Three, but the International version will not work on Telstra

by International I mean the sim-free/unlocked ones from Handtec/Clove etc

Ive asked for clarification of that from wiki mod. I don't see why you couldn't use NextG. Unless the APac model is different from the AU model, they all support the same bands.
Do you know any reason why NextG differs from other 850 networks? Not that I care - Id rather cut my arm off with a rusty saw than go on a telstra plan. Just curious, thats all.
I really want to throw my money at someone to get the Galaxy Nexus, and since I'm on AT&T, I don't think I'll be seeing it officially supported anytime soon, and I'd have to buy it off contract anyways.
Is there a difference between getting the European and Canadian versions (in terms of software)? Would one receive updates faster than another? (The European Xoom is always slower to update than the U.S. version). Also, would a Canadian version be carrier-branded?

There's no difference between the two. And so far the only carrier branded nexus is the Verizon flavor. (Not really a nexus anymore if you ask me)
I would wait, because the Canadian Nexus will be cheaper and hopefully fix the volume bug before it ships. Also, warranty replacements will be much easier if you get a North American unit.
As far as updates, they should be the same for both units, only the LTE models will have a different update schedule.

Just like with the 6T and 7, we were able to use the One Plus tool to turn tmobile rom to the international rom. I can buy the 7T today from tmobile and was wondering if someone is working on that tool for the 7T yet? you all are wondering why I don't just buy directly from One Plus? I pay for all big purchases in cash and that means buying through tmobile.
I had to buy the T-Mobile variant as well because I'm a T-Mobile employee and get a $300 rebate for doing so, so I'm looking forward to this as well! I remember being surprised at how quickly it came out for the 7 Pro.
Just bought my TMobile 7t and was wondering the same thing pretty sure the international version is already on version 10.0.4

Also T-Mobile's version numbers seem to have no correlation to the international versions. I remember with the 7 Pro T-Mobile was on a number that was like two higher than the international but it was like four versions behind.

I just checked my current build and its 10.0.3 on my t-mobile OP 7T
I currently have the OP 7Pro Sim unlocked running the international software. I’ve been running the developer preview of Android 10 since day 1. I was able to update using Oxygen Update when OnePlus released the OTA. The One Plus phones are as close as I can get to a Nexus. I miss the Nexus line. I remember the pure Google experience for a fraction of the cost
I’m not turning in my OP 7 Pro until I can flash to international. If I decide to switch to the 7T below are the gains and the loss:
First I’ll lose 128 GB of storage but I’ll gain face unlock, finger print sensor. I don’t like to use the face unlock with the 7 Pro because the camera has to pop up.
Oh yeah one other thing the last time I checked, the 7T has a brighter display then the 7 PRO. I have issues with view the display in sun light. Ugh!? Hats off to Samsung their displays are super bright ?
I had the International phone but I drop it had to get insurance replacement and it was a t-mobile branded phone
trying to get the back to International

I would reach out and have them correct that. Having a T-Mobile branded phone when you paid for an international isn't right. This link will help you convert that device into an International one.

I have a friend who's travelling to the UK in a couple of weeks and she's looking to pick up a new phone.
Used phones here seem to be substantially cheaper then they are Stateside and an A52s can be got here as cheap as £200 ($270) if you're patient and shop around.
However, her service plan is on Verizon and she wants to stay with them, I know Verizon use CDMA but the move to 5G seems to be changing the compatibility matrix somewhat.
She lives in NJ so has anyone used a European A52s in the US and is coverage/compatibility an issue?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, I am looking to purchase a Samsung S20 5G for use in the UK. I know that the G981B version with the Exynos chip in it is the one that is normally used in the UK. I've been having a hard time finding any of them for sale. The ones I have found are either in very poor condition, or won't ship to the US, or to a parcel forwarding service, or whatever. I do own a factory unlocked G981U1, which is the Snapdragon chip, and is built for the US. I've heard that it can be "used" abroad, but how well, I don't know. Would it work for an extended stay of 18 months using a SIM from one of the local carriers? Would it have issues with not supporting all the bands it should? Just curious because several years ago I purchased an S7 Duos, an international version, and used it in the US. It never seemed to work as well as the ones built specifically for the US. I am just wondering if it would be the same thing using a US phone in the UK?
