              Aron, 26 Feb 2016Dont be stupid, These bands are for China, They confi... moreWhat are you Talking about

              In India 99 % of telecom operators use
              Band 3 (1800MHz, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Reliance Jio, Aircel, Reliance Communications, Telenor, Videocon)

              and Band 40 (2300 MHz,Currently Reliance Jio, Aircel, Airtel and Tikona can use this band for 4G deployments)

              and as far as band 5 is concerned
              Band 5 : "As of now, the device ecosystem for this band is very very weak in India. Most 4G smartphones launching in India simply don’t support this band"

              source : http://techpp.com/2015/12/28/4g-lte-india-guide/

              Why do you think they changed the band list. before band 40 was unsure...but now they say it supports....They will always cater first to their primary market with largest population being China and India..

              get your Facts right Bro..

                    Of course it wouldn't support US bands. It was obvious based on TENAA. You can also check on site like http://willmyphonework.net It shows compatibility with my country there.

                          callumshell1, 26 Feb 20162K is 1080p. You're thinking of QHD, or 1440p.hey..correct yourself-HD-1280x720p, FHD-1980x1080p, 2K-2048x1440p, UHD-3840x2160p, 4K-4096x2160p. Usually UHD and 4K are the same as 2160p is the video capability. Video quality is the pixel across width. Like in mobile phone 720pixels are placed left to right. People take 2K and 4K at the same level. Always look for the lower value in the resolution because that is the support resolution for videos. So if you have a video that is 1900p resolution and your handset is 1920x1080p you may not be able to see the video because the video is actually a 2K or UHD or 4K. Lot of companies call UHD as 4K assuming 3840 ~ 4000 (so 4K). But always ask for full size of screen- imean both the dimentions and consider the lower value as the screen resolution. A 720p screen cannot play 1080p video. This is another case that now a days 720p screen supports 1080p videos but still its the max resolution of the screen-thats its capacity.

                            Dont be stupid,

                            These bands are for China,

                            They confirmed its going to India
                            And it doesn't support band 5 used in India ,

                            So there will be other versions released .....
