How to Know if your Galaxy Note is a LTE or AT&T?

[kei888]

Good day! I need some clarifications about the difference between an LTE-based Galaxy Note and AT&T-based Galaxy Note.

I'm wondering how I can figure out which of the two 4G network my Galaxy Note belong.

I'm from Philippines.

My Galaxy Note details:

Model number: GT-N7000
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: N7000XXKK5
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566

You have the international version. AT&T phones are model # i717. In US, most of the AT&T network is H+, not quite LTE (although the Galaxy Note will display a "4G" symbol in the notification area with data on and active.

Thanks for differentiating them brother. By the way, what's the difference between them? Is it just the 4G connection availability?

Thanks again.

I understand that there are some specific software differences, but I could list them. For example, the international version does not have any of the AT&T software add ons.

The H+ in Galaxy Note is 3.5G or 3G turbo, some people call it 4 G but it's not.
Lots of service provider still don't have 4G, it'll take years before 4G taking over the 3G.

Thanks again.

The other difference is that the international version has a different CPU from the LTE version. Although the LTE version is clocked faster (1.5GHz vrs. 1.4GHz) the international version seems to be faster. So, if you don't need LTE you would be better off with the international version.
