What is the difference between international version and US version: As shown is the page, this phone should cover most of frequencies applied for GSM/3G/4G, so what is the difference of international version and US version?

There are several differences in the AT&T US Version and the International Unlocked version: Unlocked/International: 1) Works right out of the box with T-Mobile or AT&T sim cards and will be a great phone if you travel to Europe at it will accept other sim cards. 2) You will need to setup lanuage and country in the settings in the phone. Mine came setup in English for the UK, so I just had to set up USA. 3) International has FM radio. 4) The processor is similar in the two, I prefer the International. 5) Physical home button and also when you press it it wakes up the screen AT&T US NOTE: 1) No FM Radio 2) No physical HOME button 3) Sim is locked to AT&T so you cannot use the locked AT&T one with TMobile sim card unless you unlock the phone. A website to go to for more on this subject is: http://smallcomputing.net/2012/04/10/samsung-galaxy-note-international-gt-n7000-vs-sgh-i717/ Hope this helps. Daisy 1) No FM Radio.

I didn't understand your question very well, but I don't think so. I bought this phone last year and the phone works just fine. I din't get any problem at all. I also don't know if the seller changed the product, but when I bought this phone, I am pretty sure that it was an UK version, because of the cherger and the 4G network.

Yes the international Version works with Any GSM Carrier and specially on T-Mobile cause I am using this phone with this carrier but, some times people have a hard time hearing me though... o.O :D maybe it's just my accent lol :D

I've had no issues with the battery since I've gotten it. As for the international version off the phone I would assume that there would be no difference.

Great phone. My dad bought it with the main intention to use it abroad... However, it worked just fine in the states too as long as you have your SIM card in the appropriate slot, because each slot has dual band only. In other words, if your SIM card doesnot work in one slot you would have to take it out and reinsert into another one. Hope it helps

This is a CDMA phone. Many countries outside the US are GSM, a completely different technology. Even if they have CDMA in the country, it may operate on a different frequency than this phone. It's not too hard to find a list of what is where (e.g. http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp).

hat is the difference between GSM 850/1900 and GSM 900/1800? GSM 900/1800 are the cellphone frequencies used in most of the world. GSM 850/1900 are the cellphone frequencies used primarily in North America. Please make sure that your cellphone has either GSM 850 or GSM 1900 so it will work in the USA.

Models G900H, G900F are International Version (NOT Support 4G LTE in USA). G900A is US Version from AT&T; and unlocked for use with any GSM sim card including International. Thank you for question!

@T.PatrickYou are right. I was wrong about the US version. The v40 firmware was introduced in January for many international versions but not for the US versions. Bottom line right now is (as I mentioned before) its a matter of personal preference if you like the black with a silver stripe on the sides or chrome trim around the screen. They are both good phones.

No, because the band widths are different (for Europe and Africa) than the US. Read this note from the celestial.com web site: "International Cell Phones An international cell phone is classified as a GSM mobile phone that operates on the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 frequency. An international cell phone with the appropriate sim card, will provide coverage in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim including Australia. A world cell phone with the GSM 1900 frequency will expand coverage to include the United States, Canada and a growing part of South America." Hope this information helps you.

I am not exactly sure if there is a difference. i8160 is marketed for the UK and i8160L is for the Latina market. They both seem to have the same frequencies, but neither one will work with 4G service in the states. You need to have both 1700 and 2100 combined to receive signal in US. I chose the i8160L because it stated warranty for US, but I'm not exactly sure that is true. FYI: This phone does not get the battery life stated in specs; Mine lasts a little over 1 day on a full charge. I do not have a data plan, but I do use wi-fi while at home This phone will work with any sim card carrier (gsm). In US, I know it works with AT&T, t-mobile, gosmart, smart talk. This phone will NOT work with Sprint or Metro PCS (cdma). I do not think it will work with t-mobile 3G/4G coverage, because in the US you need both 1700/2100 band width. It may work on AT&T, not sure. Remeber this i8160L is marketed for the Latina market, so they may be able to get 3G in their country. Hope that helps.

The US version supports T-Mobile 1700/2100 Mhz AWS frequencies, which have been used in the past for T-Mobile all across the US. Currently, T-Mobile is shifting much of the 3G HSPA traffic to 1900 Mhz, which was previously used for 2G. This shift frees up the 1700/2100 bands for 4G LTE use. Google "t mobile frequency refarming" to find details. To get the best T-Mobile coverage across the USA, buy the US version of the phone. If you will use the phone in mostly a major metropolitan area with refarmed frequencies (like the SF Bay area), the Global GSM version works just fine and does get high speed 3G (HSPDA+) on T-Mobile, AND has better compatibility in places like Europe. If you never expect to use the phone outside the USA, get the US GSM version. I bought a Global GSM Moto G for a friend recently, and it works great in the SF Bay Area, and it worked great on a trip to Europe she took.The US GSM version does not support the 900 Mhz HSDPA band, which is widely used outside the USA. Amazon's comment about the Global GSM phone supporting T-Mobile on 2G only is not really accurate, although would apply if you did not live in an area with refarmed frequencies.

The problem seems to be the frequency bands used. They are not the same in the US and Europe. Therefore 4G might function in the US but not in Europe and vice versa. Buying a carrier free phone that was programmed in Europe leads automatically to that problem in the US. I believe that your phone was unlocked in Europe and is therefore using the frequencies from over there (800 / 1800 / 2600) whereas the US bands are 750/850/2100 and so on. So there is no problem to use the phone but the 4G capability might not work. It might be better to buy a 4G with US specification (but locked to a provider).

I honestly dont know. I don't know what the difference is between my version ans the international version is. Sorry

I cant' really tell the difference. I think it has to do with the warrant. However, I can verify that the Developer Edition works fine in Europe-Greece with the exception of 4G in certain telcos.

These phones work worldwide on all GSM carriers. As for the 3G frequencies, you might have to check with your carrier. The frequencies used by this model is listed in the description.
