International vs ATT version lumia 1520

[tennisplayer23]

I wanted to know what the differences were between the international and ATT version of the 1520?

AT&T version doesn't support qi(wireless) charging. Also(although this may have changed)no 32GB version.

The bands are different:

3G Network Global and AT&T: 0HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network Glbal: LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600
AT&T: LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

Int'l is 32 GB
ATT initially had a Qi-less 16 GB model, but soon got a 32 GB model. Still no Qi.

And of course band differences.

 

[RumoredNow]

There are band differences, but 1520.3 RM-938 is perfectly compatible with the AT&T network at all data speeds up to and including LTE.

Internal storage is usually 16GB from AT&T or the 32GB at a premium and ONLY in black.

Wireless Qi charging is built into the 1520.3 and requires no additional case or jacket. AT&T uses a special case to wirelessly charge on a PowerMat standard.

There are several "international variants" of the 1520. The 1520.3 or RM-938 is the one you want for US use and it was made Factory Unlocked for Latin America, comes in several colors and all with 32GB. The 1520.1 or RM-937 was made for Europe and has the wrong LTE Classes for US compatibility. The 1520.4 or RM-939 is made for China and has no LTE radio.

AT&T one (RM-940) with Cyan will almost certainly not tether on T-Mobile.
1520.3 (RM-938) does tether successfully on T-Mobile.

Will the 937 work on voice and 4G bands in the US on T-Mobile? I can't spend $750 for a phone.

Will you look at that! An answer!

That's not an answer for whether or not it'll still work on voice and 4G.

Any GSM phone should work voice, and LTE is 4G.
