Xiaomi Phones
Hi I'm planning to buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, but before I buy it does anyone know if it is compatible with T-Mobile's network? I don't know if this is needed but I am from SoCal.
According to GSMarena.com there are two versions of the Note 7: 48MP & 12MP. The 48MP is for the "Global Market" and the 12 MP is for India. Neither seem suited for use with T-Mobile. The only LTE band listed in their specs that is at all compatible with T-Mobile is band 5. T-Mobile only has band 5 LTE in Myrtle Beach, SC. So, my advice is to avoid this phone. If you have a different model number, feel free to post it.
The Mi Mix 3 is a good choice for T-Mobile. The Global ROM version is easier to get yp and running out of the box but the Chinese ROM firmware requires a lot of extra effort. If you use dialer code: *#*#86583#*#* That disables the carrier check and enables VoLTE, which works perfectly.
