Quick question:

Would this phone working here with Orange or Claro (preferred):

Support FDD LTE/4G/3G/GPS/Wifi/Bluetooth/Touch ID; Networking:2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, 3GWCDMA 900/2100MHz, 4G: FDD LTE: 800/1800/2600MHz

To me it appears 4G no 3G only with Orange and 2G would work with Claro?

It is for my 12 y/o son who mainly wants it to play android games when outside.

Thanks! :)

Nice phone btw.
The network specs posted by tmnic list 3G 850 MHz, where some sites ist 850 MHz and some list 900 MHz.
I guess frequency charts are a toss of a coin with these Chinese phones, unless you contact manufacturer directly.
For example, Gizchina says 850 MHz, but this seller says 900 MHz.

selling at 169 now.

Oh this seller claims they have a US warehouse:

I got myself for Xmas Meizu MX5, I am so excited about 21.7 MPX camera!

I have an account on aliexpress and bought a lot there already. Yet trying to buy that phone from this and other sellers there I get "...not deliver to the US..." :(

errm. got it. choosing United States = problem above comes up. Choosing China works so business as usual... :)

it may even work 3G on claro as I have heard claro does broadcast on 2100 mhz as well. it may not be publicized but i have heard from phone experts that 2100 band is also covered in 3G.
By the way, it's a great phone.
