If you're wondering whether the Huawei P9 has B12/17 support...

...This was on Unbox Therapy.



According to the spec sheet, Band 12 (T-Mobile) and Band 17 (AT&T) seem to be fully-supported on the P9.

This may vary between different variants of the same phone, however.

If you're thinking of importing the device (it's going to cost a pretty penny, however), the P9 might be a safe bet.

Yeah, definitely variant dependent. Got this from the Huawei website:



Dual-sim 4GB version seems to support the most bands but also no NFC and only a single colour.

Thanks for the extra bit of information.

Yeah, it looks like you'll need to get either the single-SIM or the 64GB dual-SIM version just to ensure that LTE bands on many major US carriers are supported by the phone.

Another thing I noticed is "3G-TD-SCDMA". Does this actually support CDMA?

UPDATE: Checked FreqCheck and it apparently doesn't work on Sprint and Verizon's CDMA network. So if you're on either of those carriers, this phone is a pass.
