MT6592 THL T100 Iron Man Monkey King 2 Official Frequency Specs

thl t100Just after finishing up my previous post, will China phones work in America and Europe, I came across the current official specs which show the MT6592 THL T100 Iron Man / Monkey King 2 as having 900/1800 GSM and 850/2100 WCDMA only. Many sellers are showing this phone as 850/900/1800/1900 GSM and 850/1900/2100 WCDMA, but it looks like this isn’t the case. I strongly doubted it from first seeing the new info at merchants sites, but still held some hope.

It’s likely a situation of miscommunication as opposed to deliberately trying to mislead by the merchants. Sorry for the seesaw here regarding THL T100. I will surely update as the situation becomes clearer.

If you’re American and have followed China phones at all, you’re right there with me. We still have hope for MTK6592 Mlais MX69 Pro having the advertised quad-band WCDMA and quad-band GSM. Let’s see what the near future brings.

      After contacting the sites that were claiming this several times, and them saying [They had talked to the factory and the specs were confirmed as 850/1900/2100 WCDMA], they finally changed it to 850/2100. The most concerning thing though is most shops have it as 850/900/1800/1900 GSM, however the official site has it listed as only having 900/1800 GSM. A $300 phone with only dual-band GSM is very surprising and silly, but that’s what the official THL site has it as.

    In order to determine the radio/modem frequencies and associated supported technologies, in this case the WCDMA, GSM, HSPA, HSPA+/H+ frequencies it is necessary to examine the specifications of the MTK6589T, MTK6592T SoC’s and their associated radio chipsets, or execute Radio Signal tests.

    It’s certainly not considered wrong or illegal for the implemenstation of a computing device, such as a mobile phone to exceed the retailers or even the manufacturers feature list or technical specifications.phone with specications. I don’t see any reason for a user who orders an iPad 3, but receives an iPad 4 to complain: with the obvious caveat that it was purchased for general use. This practice was quite common at the height of the desktop/laptop computing era.

    So if the manufacturers have done more than they originally intended, why should venders/retailers not make customers aware.

    BTW, much of your discussion assumes that the US mobile phone industry is ahead if the rest if the world, this is simply not true. Smartphones w/ TV support has been present on southeast and ASEAN phones since the mid naughties. 3.5 billion of the worlds 6.5 B mobile phone subscribers live in Asia & Pacific not including West Asia which has 400 M, 500 M in Africa. less than 350 M in the USA. AFAIK the largedt 3G+ networks are in South East Asia (rounded figures).

      It seems you’re missing the points in the post. Nowhere in the post do I say or even come close to inferring the “US mobile industry is ahead of the rest of the world”. Sorry regarding your misunderstanding. That wasn’t the point of the post, and my opinion doesn’t lie in that direction either. The issue is the frustration with China manufacturer’s not including 1900 WCDMA. By adding this one band, they’ve instantly made their phone compatible with 3G in all of the Americas. That includes Canada, Central America and South America. The big problem with THL T100S is they haven’t even included quad-band GSM. At least that’s what the manufacturer’s specs say.

      Your other point regarding exceeding manufacturer’s or retailers upgrading specs is a bit of a misunderstanding as well. Sellers haven’t somehow magically made THL T100S work with quad-band GSM. It’s that either a) sellers are advertising the product incorrectly (purposely or not), or b) The official THL site has incorrectly listed the GSM as dual-band.

      I will agree with you one point – it’s certainly not wrong in my opinion to exceed manufacturer’s or retailer’s features if they can. That’s not the case here though. It would be nice if these sellers had the ability to do so. As it is, most of them don’t even know what a digitizer is, let alone being able to tune MT6592’s RF to work with additional frequencies not set at the factory.

      Really appreciate the comments though. Enjoy the day.
