Guide to buy Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
I am planning to buy galaxy nexus phone from US and I will be finally using it in India going back. Can someone please suggest me if the phone works with Indian networks properly.
Thanks for your time.

I assume as long as you buy the GSM version, although I know nothing of the Indian networks.

Assuming you have a GSM network you can get a SIM from in India, it'll work just fine.

Gsm network is there with band 2100mhz, I believe. So essentially it mean that device will support the band without any issuses.
Thanks again.

It will work if you unlock it but you won't get LTE speeds. Just HSPA.

Well I think it supports LTE bands 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2600MHz
And O2 LTE is 800MHz ( and being rolled out in 2 days) , so id suppose it would work on their network. BUT this is all assuming, i don't know if it actually works like that

it is like phones, considering both att and tmobile phones work just fine, this will work for sure.
I know I had unlocked samsung phone from att and when I was in Europe, it was working perfectly fine for me.
only verizon phones/tablets are a no-no as far as I know.

which country? I really like the T325 version but don't think it will be available in the US... the LTE band is not compatible with ATT or Tmobile anyway...:crying:

Model: SM-T325
3G band: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G band: 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600MHz

Yea. I bought mine in Hong Kong and am using it now.

Are you using it with a US Carrier and are you getting LTE??
I want to import one and I want it to work with AT&T LTE.

I highly doubt it will work with ATT LTE, the radio is missing LTE band 4 or 17.

I am using the SM-T325 on AT&T. I upgraded from the Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, and I simply swapped out the SIM card. I can confirm the tablet is able to send/receive voice calls, but so far it looks like I've only been able to achieve HSPA+ mobile data rates. The stock ROM allows you to select LTE/WCDMA/GSM network mode by default, but the status bar only shows the "H+" indicator. Using OOKLA speed test, I've been able to achieve around 9Mbps down, which is the same as my iPhone 5 and HTC One with LTE. Maybe it is a coverage issue?
I've rooted the tablet, and my apps are able to access the SD card using SDFix. However, I have not been able to successfully install a custom recovery like TWRP 2.7.0.1. I don't know if the radio can support faster mobile data rates, but so far the download speed has been similar to my Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, iPhone 5 and HTC One, which is good enough for me. On the other hand, the display quality and battery life are superior to the GT-N5100, so I am very happy with the SM-T325.

There will not be a software reason that your speeds are limited. I would expect coverage might be an issue because I expect the HTC One to have higher speeds than that. I don't believe LTE is possible on ATT or T-Mobile though.

This is great news. If we (US AT&T variant) could install foreign rom, like we could with the original Galaxy Tab, this would be an awesome device for phone and tablet.

Yeah you won't get LTE on that tablet in the US. The International SM-T325, just like all other international unlocked Samsung LTE devices, specifically locks out US LTE bands. Samsung most likely does this on purpose because they don't want people importing them to the US and taking business away from their carrier partners. It's probably the same reason why they don't directly sell unlocked devices direct to US consumers like, for instance, HTC does. So, yeah, if you use one of those on any US carrier, the most you're ever going to see is HSPA+, unfortunately. When it comes to Samsung devices and LTE in the US, you either buy it from a carrier, or GTFO.
On that note, I really wish AT&T would launch the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 already. I want that tablet really bad, but refuse to buy a WiFi-only version

I hate AT&T and their lousy selection of Android tablets and even worse updates. I bought the Note 8.0 LTE and am still stuck on 4.1. Here's an idea. I bought a used TMobile Note 10.1 2014 LTE and unlocked it to run on AT&T. Now to sell the Note 8.0! I do miss the form factor, though.

Yeah I don't know what the hell happened with the Note 8.0 on AT&T. That 4.1.2 ROM still has that annoying freeze problem that Samsung fixed in the 4.2.2 update. Some variants of that tablet are getting KitKat now so hopefully AT&T and Samsung will actually roll this one out to the I467 since they skipped 4.2.2.

zombie thread, I know. Running our t325 on T-MO. I haven't heard of any dev coming up with a radio that'll enable speeds above hspa+. That's strange to me, because even back in the day of the Note 1 (original note ... not even called '1' ... because that's all there was) - there were dev's that managed to upgrade our international model to U.S. 4glte . . . . and when the note came out, lte was hardly even in its infancy stage. IIRC, at that time, T-MO only had one model that was 4g ... some little htc model with a slide keyboard. Maybe the international tab pro 8" is getting less attention because of KNOX ??? or because it's simply not as popular as other devices?

I've ordered one from HTC.com, waiting for a friend that lives in the US to bring to me.
I've compared the US device with the WWE one and the US model seems to use almost the same frequency bands as the WWE and some more.
To confirm it will work on my network, I've checked here if it will work on my network, it gave me 100% compatibility

That probably compared the UK one with the network. The US one is missing band 8 which most of the networks in the UK use, eg 02, Tesco Mobile, Giffgaff etc. Three uses a different band I believe for LTE. You would still be able to get phone, text and up to 3g access, but if your mobile provider uses band 8, you wont get LTE, I also dont believe there is a way to add it.

I'm from Portugal and my network uses the bands on the image.
And since in HTC.com they say that the 10 works on the network bands on the other image, I believe it's compatible.
My network only uses band 8 on UMTS and I think the 10 has it, or am I wrong and made a bad decision?
__________
@Stephen, I might be mistaken, as I'm don't understand much about this, but I think non of UK's carriers use LTE band 8
http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/

Yes you should be good to go. I think you will get both 2.5g, 3g and LTE speeds with the US version. For 2.5g your network uses bands 900 and 1800. The US phone supports this. For 3g, your network uses bands 2100 and 900 which the phone also supports. For 4G or LTE (it can be called either) your network uses bands 3, 7 and 20. The phone supports these bands as well. So you will get signal in 2.5g networks, 3g networks and LTE.
Quite jealous here!!! I would have loved the silver and black, but my network uses band 8, which as you can see is not supported, so if I got it, I would only get up to 3g, not LTE. But I really love my silver white version!
