Homtom HT10 – first phone with global 4G network support ?

Karel BalacJune 23, 2016

New Homtom model HT10 is currently in the presale period until July 15th and as a part of the promotional campaign the manufacturer is trying to emphasize the fact, that it should be the first phone with the global 4G network support.

The company claims that their phone should be a perfect solution for the travellers around the globe, because with HT10 there would be no need for having several phones to cover all the LTE bands.

The global 4G support should theoretically contain all the used frequencies worldwide, it should be possible to configure up to 217 network parametres and identify all the local signals in respective countries. The following chart is trying to illustrate how the Homtom HT10 global 4G netword should work.

That being said, with a first quick glance you can see that for example the band 8 (900 MHz) is missing and while it’s not the most modern and used one, still it maybe should be there if HT10 plans to be really “global”…

It’s cool to support all the 3G/4G bands worldwide… But these type of commercials are stupid, because the iPhones have this feature for 3 years now! So the HT10 isn’t first. -_-

So we’re back in 2013, when many chinese phones did not support the 900mhz band making it a risky choice throughout Europe (and Italy in particular)?! Nice job on the “global network support” when it doesn’t even support 3G ?
But, after all, that’s doogee: they doesn’t support their devices with updates, no wonder they doesn’t support our networks’ bands ?

  I think he is talking about the 4G at 900 MHz band, not the 3G… Anyway, very few companies use the 900 MHz at 3G.
  In my country Greece, only Vodafone is using it, but with very few cells at 900. Most of them work at 2100 MHz.
  P.S. Only 2 countries use the 900MHz at 4G, the Nigeria and Saudi Arabia…

    Here in Italy every company use 3G 900mhz band, and based on rants around blogs I assumed other country use it as well… However, it has nothing to do with 4G here, it’s just for 3G… Probably (I assumed) they listed only 4G frequencies?
