Support for 4G band 4? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

The Redmi Note 5 Pro is available for preorder on gearbest, they say it has support for Band 4... Do you think this could be actually accurate?

They also call it "Redmi Note 5", though they state it has a Snapdragon 660 which is the chipset in the pro version.

I want to know that too...i found it in geekbuying tho (global version 3) but it doesnt sound too real. i dont know what to do

Just released Mi mix 2s LTE bands??

Hello, I heard a rumour to use the new mi mix 2s in the USA you need to buy the 8gb ram/256 model?
Anyone know if that is true. I would prefer to use the lower versions of the mi mix 2s on T-Mobile in the USA but worried it won't work.

I doubt that's true. The bands are the same and the Mix2 works on both gsm and cdma (Verizon) lte. Since the new T-Mobile bands (band 60?) aren't widely deployed, I don't think you'll have a problem.

You should be fine...like the post above stated, the main T-Mobile frequencies are present. However, you will be missing band 66 and 71, the latter of which is becoming more and more important (the state of Wyoming, for instance, is almost exclusively band 71 on T-Mobile). Unfortunately it may take a while for Xiaomi or similar phones to support band 71 as it's been really slow in getting manufacturers to adopt this band, excepting Samsung, LG, and Moto. But in any case, all variants of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S do have the vast majority of T-Mobile's network covered vis-a-vis LTE banding.
It looks like all global versions of the Mi Mix 2S are compatible with T-Mobile LTE. But only the 256GB version of the Mi Mix 2S is compatible with Verizon. So if you're only worried about T-Mobile you should be fine.
I'm also in the same doubt..
Here in France we get the new b28 lte band, which is perfectly supported in the mi mix 2 whatever version, but in the 2s, it seems to be only supported on the 256 go/international version which is very very expensive!
But on some merchant (gearbest, aliexpress, etc...) the description of 64go global version say b28 lte band compatible...
Both 256go and 64go get the same cpu, snapdragon 845, and then the same lte modem...
So is there a chance to get a 64go global version compatible with this lte band, or could it possible to unlock the missing band with some tweaks???

Redmi Note 5 released in TW with support for LTE 2 and 4

The Redmi Note 5 Pro was recently released in Taiwan this week. Over here, it is sold as just the "Redmi Note 5".
Interestingly, the specifications (link in Chinese) list LTE coverage for bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28. Other hardware seems to be the same otherwise.
Unless they made a typo, it looks like this is a similar situation to when the Redmi Note 3 was rereleased in TW as the Redmi Note 3 special edition (Kate) with expanded band coverage.
Will this mean that Roms for the Xiaomi Red Note 5 Pro (WHYRED) may be incompatible for the Redmi Note 5 special edition?
there is no "PRO" for regions other than INDIA
the phone for the rest world is Redmi Note 5 China/Global etc
Anyone know where to buy this TW version?
Seems like it supports the same bands as the RN3 SE.

MI Max 3 (model M1804E4A) LTE bands?

According to official Mi Max 3 website:
LTE band support: B1, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B20
I just bought a Global version model: M1804E4A:
The user guide indicates band support: 1/3/7/8/20/34/38/40 (Bands 4 & 5 are missing !!??)
WIthout Bands 4 & 5 - I'm guessing I can't get onto AT&T and TMobile ?
Does anyone know if there is a code dialler to check what LTE band is being supported by Mi Max 3 ?
For folks using mi max 3 in USA successfully - may I know what is your model number?
I see 3 model variants on various websites: M1804E4A , M1804E4C, M1804E4T - anyone knows what the differences are?
Thanks !!
Screenshot from same global model. All those listed online are supported. Looks like they copied user guide from Mi Max 1/2 to save money...
For model #s nobody knows and until we start collecting data nobody will know for sure. My guess would be China 4GB and 6GB RAM, and Global. Second guess - diffident hardware variants regarding display and touchscreen, 2 each in kernel -> 4 possible configurations...
Wow thanks for your reply, how do you you get your phone to display the LTE bands? Is it difficult to do? Thanks

Question Phone 6 vs Pro US Version A bands

Does anyone know if the US Version A of the ROG phone 6 pro have more cellular bands than the Phone 6? Apparently Asus has removed the frequency listing from the phone's description.
No difference in bands if I recall correctly. I checked when I imported the non-pro 6 just recently.
