Rigel,
I've looked at potential replacement phones and one that seems to be
included in everyone's 'best Android Plus' phone list is the Motorola Moto
G7. Of course, the reviews all focus on the camera(s), audio, and appearance
and say nothing about the quality of the radio for voice calls. But I did
find network specs for it:
Network Technology
GSM / HSPA / LTE
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 (dual-SIM model only)
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - Europe
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - USA
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 18(800), 19(800), 20(800), 26(850), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500) - Europe
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 20(800), 25(1900), 26(850), 66(1700/2100), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500) - USA
Speed HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE-A (2CA) Cat7 300/50 Mbps
I've sent these to the MNVO I use (RedPocket to AT&T). I suspect that if they
support this phone (and they should considering the large number of bands
the phone supports) all I need do is swap the SIM. I'll learn if this is
correct.
Thanks for all you insights,
Rich
