For those who know about network bands etc, I am going to send my phone to a friend in Russia - I think I've done all the research on this as my brain can take, can someone help me verify if the Canadian variant of the A5 2017 work in Russia on MTS.
Is there anything I'm missing, because it was pretty complex and there were terms like cat6 - I don't know what that means, but here is the info I came up with. Do all of these check boxes mean it will work?
Also, I checked and it appears that all versions of the A5 support the same networks, so I'm quite confused - why would they have different versions of they all support the same bands ?

Here are the MTS bands I've found on their website:
✓ means the A520W supports those bands
means A520W bands not supported.
*2G GSM*
bands
900 ✓
1800 ✓
*3G UMTS*
B1(2100) ✓
B8(900) ✓
*4G/LTE*
B1(2100) ✓
B3(1800) ✓
B7(2600) ✓
B20(800) ✓
B38(2600) ✓
B40(2300) ✓
B46(5200)
I really super appreciate any help that comes my way.
