Looking at the tech specs of the new android phone announced by Andy Rubin - https://www.essential.com/, looks like it's fully compatible with NZ networks even though its US release only. Just wanted to check my understanding was correct since it's so confusion that they use bands sometimes or frequencies and aren't some of the LTE bands different in terms of numbering and frequency globally?
