[q] n5100 vs n5120

666power · Feb 16, 2014

I just ordered an N5100 to use on ATT b/c I wanted to be able to use the device as a phone. But after looking up the specs I think the 5100 is only 3g.

The 5120 says it has 4g, but I wasnt 100% sure it also did voice.

If I order a 5120 will it still work with voice on ATT?

Thanks

I've used my n5100 as a phone in so singapore , Indonesia, Japan, and Australia.. 3g is fine for a phone.. If you want LTE go for the 5120.. As for using it on ATT I have no idea.. I bought my n5100 in Thailand unlocked no contract and used prepaid sims only

OK after a ton of searching I think I figured it out. On samsung's page they say the 5120 uses LTE Bands 3, 7, and 8. For the data only Note 8 LTE that ATT sells they say it uses bands 2, 4, 5, and 17.

So based on that I'm going to guess it won't work.

The AT&T model has a different model number, the 5120 is an international model.

I know, I figured the ATT model has the proper LTE bands, and if the internation (5120) doesn't have the same bands, it probably wont work in the US
