4G Bands

[MiBoi9000]

Looking for the 4G and 5G bands on 13 Pro. I have a Mi 11 and works fine in USA, hope 13 Pro also works fine. I will order once bands are confirmed. I'm not trusting Kimovil website, maybe someone can vouch for the specs? Supposedly got an extra channel on 4G, giving me 5/6.

So so disappointed because of this. Mi 11 ultra china had B20. That was the last xiaomi I had. I think I'll switch to another brand because of this. Bad move from Xiaomi not to include band 20 from xiaomi 12 onwards

Yes. It is settled, i will go with Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and maybe American phones will be caught up with chargd speed by then. I can't believe even Pixel 7 Pro has such poor specs.

Why tho? 13 pro and 12s ultra both have the same camera and have the same price on trading Schengen. Both missing band 20 on 4g. But 13 pro has better procesor for the same money

We updated yesterday the bands from official site, but there is a few delay due cache, so on site info was updated a few hours later, sorry.

Can anyone confirm if the Chinese hardware is *physically* limited to those bands?
i.e. Can you flash Xiaomi.eu ROM to Chinese hardware to allow access to the same bands as the Global hardware?

I know this has been asked of other models, and many are physically limited, but I'd like confirmation for the '13 Pro'

TIA

This has already been answered many times and it still applies.
Band support is a HW matter and cannot be made available by SW.

Thanks for answering @gogocar62 - I appreciate it has been answered many times for other models, but there are instructions for other phones, e.g. OnePlus (7 through 9)- where there are both software-defined limitations (that can be altered ) as well as hardware limitations (that can't be altered).

As a non-expert, it's worth me confirming for the 13 Pro when the Global variant is ~€500 more expensive than the Chinese variant. Thanks again.

You are on pages dedicated to Xiaomi devices, not other brands. And what I wrote applies to Xiaomi.
And the big price difference is probably one of the reasons why Xiaomi blocks certain bands.
