LTE Bands support - B8 (900) missing

[Willyman]

hi guys,

I'm considering asking a colleague in the states to purchase and send me a Pixel XL.

I did a bands support check for my Taiwanese network and the Pixel supports 2 out of 3 of the used LTE bands on my network (Chungwa). The only one missing is B8 (900).

Anyone with knowledge of how LTE networks work care to enlighten me what the side-effect of this could be? Am I going to be having connectivity issues?

That'd depend entirely on how that particular carrier deploys its LTE. Some carriers use all their bands available, while others use some bands in one area and different bands in another.

Thanks for the info. Would there be any way for me to find this out?

I personally would install LTE Discovery and see what your current phone connects to in your area

That's odd. I thought band 8 is needed to get LTE with Chunghwa Telecom.
