I am planning on buying the unlocked version of the Xperia Z3, and I was wondering USA carrier LTE (AT&T specifically) would work with the phone or not?
 
The version you can buy in the UK def works on att and T-Mobile. I don't know about the Asian version. The number for the one that is working is d6603
 
I can't answer your question because I'm not an AT&T radio expert, but, here is a link to Sony's website and the Z3 White Paper. The White Paper lists all the models of the Z3 and the frequencies supported. If you know AT&T's LTE frequencies you should be able to find your answer. FYI, the D6616 is the TMo flavored version.

Hope this helps.

I actually saw this a couple days ago and looks like I may not get LTE, but it's OK I'm not tripping

The Z2 worked just fine on ATT LTE. You may get a 4G icon but it is LTE speeds.
 
Hello guys. I am really interested in this phone, or the Compact version. I am on Verizon in the USA but one of my contracts is expiring soon, so I was thinking of jumping to AT&T and getting this Sony (since I am assuming there will be no Verizon version?). I travel all over the US and the world so I cannot be stuck with T Mobile's weaker US network.

Can somebody confirm which version of the Z3 will work with AT&T in the USA, on all bands that any other AT&T phone would? In other words, I don't want to get this phone if it won't COMPLETELY work on all 3g and 4g/LTE bands in the US. I see there are several Model Numbers and there is some confusion on which models work on which carriers.

I would greatly appreciate any info you guys have to clear this up. Thanks!

The D6603 and D6633 will support all AT&T bands and worldwide.

The only difference with D6603 and D6633 is that D6633 is a Dual SIM model and does not have LTE band 13.
