You bring up some valid points. I traveled to China recently. Phones like iPhone 5 practically don't work there, because the specifications supported by these phones are phased out to such a degree that you're hard pressed to find coverage even in urban areas. I.e. 4G and 5G made the older specs obsolete, so you're obligated to buy a newer device.
Though, I guess it's possible that these bands were never supported in China. If anyone cares to chime in.
- henrikeh 7y agoThe Chinese telcos developed their own 3G standard called TD-CDMA. Note that 3G refers to a family or classification of network technologies, and the same is true for the other G’s. As an example CDMA2000 and UMTS are both competing 3G standards.
