Hi Everyone,
Many People here want a 100% confirmation of what Bands this phone supports, i am also interested in this. I want to know Both 8gb/12gb band differences. I am currently waiting for the shipment of the 12gb ram version of the phone. I am providing a quick simple guide on how to show/list network bands, Please keep in mind that below is a guide from "ANOTHER PHONE" (screenshots are from a galaxy phone), I am asking for you to follow the same steps and reply with your own screenshots showing the supported bands from both 8gb ram & 12gb ram versions:

Requirements:
1) internet connection
2) Rooted phone
3) Download/Install this app called Network Signal Guru

Follow below steps :
1) Open Network Signal Guru, it will ask for Root access, and 3 permissions, say yes to all
2) Click the menu Button (picture 1 in attachments)
3) Select "Lock Rat" (picture 2 in attachments), this display supported Network type (as shown in Picture 3 in attachments) (WARNING, DO NOT select anything, take a screenshot and press back.
4) Click the menu button and select "Lock Bands" (Picture 4 in attachment)
5) Here you will have three options to select from: GSM, WCDMA, LTE, select one of them and take a screenshot and hit back, do the same for the other ones: WARNING, don't uncheck/touch anything. (pictures 5-9 shows an example each)

This app only works with Qualcomm processors, i am expecting that this guide also works with the Asus Rog Phone 2 (no guarantees)
After you got your screenshots, you can uninstall this app, please reply back showing bands both models support.

Thanks JasonX,
Your screenshot confirms the 8gb ram version of the phone. Would also like to thank you for your other well-informative posts, easy to understand, very helpful guides. Im sure you took your time writing your posts to help others here at XDA, it doesnt go un-noticed, and i appreciate your posts.

To All,
Now we need a screenshot of the 12gb ram, please someone post it, it should contain more bands.

Band 28

Hi, I have the ROG 2 tencent version 8/128
Before I flashed the global rom, the phone was able to connect to band 28 fine, so I found this thread to try to get that band 28 re-enabled. ticking the Band 28 option actually enables it again, but when I reboot the phone the settings don't stick. any tips? would like to get the settings to stick then, unroot then relock the bootloader so it's back to factory state. thanks in advance!

How did you root the NA 12GB / 512GB device?
During initial setup of the phone it updated to firmware 1907.33. I then searched around and followed these steps.
1. Remove Google account from phone
2. Install Asus bootloader unlock tool apk
3. Run Asus bootloader unlock tool and let it wipe the device
4. Rooted with patched IMG file from this thread (start at step 3)

Does wifi calling and VoLTE work with T-mobile for the NA version of the phone?
No it does not
