    Does anyone knows if the 64Gb version sold direct on OnePlus store supports Band 7, 2600MHz?

    Hey, in Germany the Providers Use the 800 band Outside the citys. the lte Coverage is often very good, while the gym coverage often is only edge in the same place. So for me it's very important to get a phone with all bands supportet.
    Please make a Europe version with band 20 support.
    Thank you.

    enjoy your new phone, see if your coverage is acceptable. If not, eBay it right away, otherwise keep it till the EU version appears.

    It does
    Connectivity
    • GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
    • WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
    • LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40

    Thing is, the 800 Mhz band is not only used in rural areas like you say. In France some operators use almost exclusively the 800 Mhz band because it penetrates into buildings better. For example the "SFR" french operator. So, I cannot have 4G in my city, unless I choose another operator.

    Hi James. Sorry, been a little while since I've been back on here. Virgin Mobile offer the same capped useage as EE. As far as 4G goes, it's all you can eat or why bother!? How long is 1-2GB going to last once you start caning spotify, youtube and iplayer? Not to mention the under the table tethering to my laptop ;)

    With my old crappy Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, my connection to both internet and calling and texting were 10 times better than with the Oneplus One. Feels like the software needs an update to function better? It's not normal for a signal to drop from 5 to ZERO because I've changed my phone and have the same provider as before.
    The 4G tested should have 100% signal in my town, the 3G the same but still I can't talk in the phone because of a bad connection in the Oneplus One.
    Please fix this

    Being someone in the UK directly effected by this I still opt for option #1 and thank the team for being open and honest about the decision. I agree with the the reason for only one SKU and think there are still many reason to stick with that model. I find my HSPDA+ connection is more than ample and tbh I can't really tell the difference between that and those few times I travel into London and get full 4G (apart from a little 4g logo) That included streaming media via a vpn from home, and rdp sessions to administer remote machines.

    Yeah I'm currently on payasyou go sim. with my personal phone so will have to wait till I next go into london to see customers as i'll most likely end up having to tether my laptop again. If it's as bad as it is then i've always got my work phone on me that's a lumia 925.

    I'm guessing it's a physical limitation with the current antena rather than a software fix?

    Actually, the frequency bands depends on the radio chip, but you are right: It is NOT software fixable :oops:

    Well, not antenna, it's the radiochip in the phone, there are models that have band 20, but then they are missing some other bands that limit the functionality in other parts in the world, what oneplus can do is to do a specific EU SKU with another radio chip, but that is probably something they will do further down.
    In towns and cities we still have 4G on the lower bands.

    Has anyone had a look at the radio chip on a OPO and given a clearly defined answer on the Band 20 debate, I ask as it seems crazy to think Qualcomm is making multiple chipsets based on band selection, it seems like crazy proliferation, that is why I'm wondering if there is another reason why we have a restricted band 20, plus others.

    I work day in day out with Firmware/software adjustable or locked out functionality and this looks the same based on may be OPPO/OPOs restriction on local Chinese bands, which had had to be built into all production, surely someone has done a firmware compare with lets say an international Find 7s ?
