LTE Band 20 (800) support?simple question: does any of the pro 7/pro 7 plus family supports b20/800 lte band?
as far as i know: pro 7 4/64, standard helio p25 version: supports b20 (https://www.meizu.com/en/pro7/spec/) any other version with the x30 won't support b20, which is a shame, because p25 is a midrange cpu at best. x30 would be flagship worthy, but without b20, i can't use the lte networks at full bandwith in europe, i'd only have 2g/3g in most cities. that's the case with my pro 6 at the moment. so please let me know if you have any other information. thanks. | |

I asked the same question... I noticed that the pro 7 had bb 20. my old phone elephone s7 used hello x20 and that had bb 20. I had a look in engineering mode in my pro 7 plus and bb 20 was not available.
However my mobile provider uses 20, 7 and 1. bb20 is 800mhz and isn't actually that much faster than a good 3g signal. As it's a low frequency it does have good indoor coverage. I was going to change my network provider but I have found not having bb20 hasn't caused me too many issues | |

it seems the uks 4g networks running on the higher frequency bands now have pretty good coverage. I can pull 70mps in my home.
tomorrow I'll post a link I have to a lte coverage checker it's pretty interesting | |

thanks for the comments. in hungary, all of the 3 providers mostly use b20 outside of the capital and some other cities, and they recently begun to shut down their 3g towers, so either you get ready to connect to the band 20 or you're stuck with 2g/edge speeds. so b20 is basically essential if you're living countryside.
also, thanks for checking your pro 7 plus for b20. too bad that it confirms my findings.  | |
