Great News: TENAA reveal the Xiaomi Mi Note supports FDD-LTE and TD-LTE

AndiJanuary 16, 2015

Xiaomi fans living outside of China can today breathe a sigh of relief as you won’t have to wait months for a compatible LTE version of the Mi Note to launch, as they all will!

In the past Xiaomi have always launched the TD, or China Mobile only, version of their new flagship phones first. This has lead to a lot of frustration for international buyers hoping to order the device, as TD LTE won’t work internationally.

Today it was revealed though that this won’t be the case for the newly launch Xiaomi Mi Note. TENAA network documents reveal that the Snapdragon 801 powered version of the new flagship phablet will work on FDD-LTE and TD-LTE. In additional to 4G support WCDMA, and TD-SCDMA 3G and basic GSM is all present and accounted for too.

So if you are looking to import a Xiaomi Mi Note through a Chinese reseller, at least now you don’t have to wait for the correct 4G model to launch. You will still have to wait for the phone to go on sale with enough stock to satisfy demand, which might mean a wait till March due to the upcoming Chinese New Year, Spring Festival celebrations.

I have to say that this is the only Xiaomi phone that has every caught my attention. I do like the screen size and performance it has to offer. But there are other phones in the same league as the Standard version which costs lesser.
The Pro version (SD 810) will be a good thing to have but price is very scary.

It does not support all the 4G (FDD) bands, at least in my country

I would buy the Pro version…… if it had microSD slot. Giving it new audio hardware for lossless formats etc and not supporting microSD cards seems a bit short-sighted in my opinion. I keep all my (112gb at the moment) music collection on a 128gb microSD card in my phone. Looking forward to seeing the next set of Nubia handsets.

FDD only band 3 and 7 which is much worse than most non-Chinese models, the only thing worse is band 1 and 3 like on all Unicom versions.
TDD support are the usual China Mobile bands…

I was disappointed to learn that the PRO version comes only in gold, which is in my opinion very “apple”. I would have loved it in glossy black as the regular Note.
