• I want to know if my phone will work in the US. It's a Samsung A52 that was purchased in Vietnam. How can I know if it will connect to TMobile, Verizon, or AT&T when I come to the US for a visit?

  Is it international version or US version. The US frequency bands are a little different from ones used elsewhere, which is where you might have the most problems (you may be stuck on just one or two bands out of a carriers 4 or 6, and if you don't have good coverageon the bands you have, then your phone has a lot of dead spots). Check on gsmarena.com for the bands your phone supports, and then google for the... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Hello there My dad is currently looking for a new phone. This is a checklist of things that he would like in a phone. What is the closest phone to this one/does anyone have any recommendations? Many thanks G.E

  Using gsmarena.com (where you can search basically every phone ever), searching by launch year of 2020 to 2022 (and android 12 or above) and less than 150mm height yields 10 responses, but nothing recommendable with an SD card slot. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Mobile phone provider

  Make sure it covers all the LTE bands (4G), as the US LTE bands are not the same as Canada. An S series Samsung, or later series Motorola, LG or most iPhones from 7 up should be OK. You can check the LTE band coverage at gsmarena.com by make, model and specific model shown on the box. I recommend to people to buy a phone at the phone shop at St. Clair W and Oakwood. They are new grey market dual SIM phones at fair... - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• zenfone 9 is same size as s22

  Did you go to the battery menu to see what the problem is? If you are unsatisfied with Samsung's flagship phone battery life then you will probably be unsatisfied with Asus' flagship phone battery life. According to gsmarena.com the S22 gets 25h talk time, 12h web browsing, 14h video playback, while the Zenfone 9 gets 26h / 15h / 17h for the same tests. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

  According to gsmarena.com there is a LATAM (Latin America) model which includes band 7 (2600MHz). I'm pretty sure that band is compatible with US service providers. I know that band is compatible with Canadian service providers like Rogers, Bell and Telus plus their subsidiaries. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Would you recommend buying a Sony mobile in the United States?

  Yo OP check out GSMARENA for bands supported. I found that the Sony 5 iii has like 90% if not all bands for US 4g lte. For ATT however no 5g support. BUT let's be real 5g isn't really ready in terms of nationwide coverage and it's rare to get 5g. I will say my Sony 5 iii is doing great with calls. This has been the best phone signal strength compared to my old Asus 6z/5z and Motorola One 5g, razer phone ii. I... - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• I guess Sony got money to blow on advertising now

  Maybe you were browsing for a phone recently? Someone who visited, say, gsmarena.com is more likely to be in the market for a phone than someone who didn't. Maybe you even browsed for a Sony? - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
