All of them, in general. In specific, well, "Europe and Asia" is a pretty wide swath of territory, you'd need to look at specific carriers in specific markets.

You would need to check your specific carrier of choice in these countries. I pulled this from the wiki, so it probably isn't complete. But afaik, only the iphones and the nexus 6 has any decent amount of lte bands in the areas you are asking. particularly, the unlocked iphone bought directly from Apple (NOT the verizon one)would be the most compatible. it would cost the same as the verizon version.


Taiwan - 28,8,3
Singapore-3,7
Hong Kong - 3,7,8,40
France - 3,7,20
UK-3,7,20,42,43
Germany-3,7,20
Japan-1,8,9,11,18,28,41


ip6/6p
Model A1549 (CDMA)*
Model A1522 (CDMA)*
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)
Note that the unlocked iphone which Apple sells does include bands 40 and 41. This will work on Verizon, however, the Verizon version does not have these two bands.


Nexus 6
LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41)

Thanks! I guess both the Verizon S6 and Note 4 are useless?(since they only have LTE bands 13 and 4)

Verizon s6 supports bands 2,4,5,and 13, but won't help you in those countries . Note 4 supports less.

so my best option is the iPhone 6? as a certified Android fanboy.... asking me
to buy the iPhone 6 is about as bad as asking Rush Limbaugh start having an
intimate relationship with Hillary Clinton.

The iPhone 6 unlocked is the most compatible with lte bands in the countries that you listed. The best option.. That is up to you. You can get a Nexus 6 which would be the most compatible Android
