• Latin Variant/US Comptible - Meaning

    From croy@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 8 14:59:57 2024
    I see some phones advertised for sale as "Latin Variant/US Comptible".
    What does this really mean?

    That somebody mis-spelled 'compatible'.

    'Latin' is obviously Latin America. I notice one reviewer on
    Amazon disagreed: "No está liberado para Estados
    Unidos"

    If croy had provided a link*, readers might see the actual quote was
    "Latin Variant / US Compatible LTE".

    * For example, https://www.amazon.com/A55-Dual-SIM-Unlocked-Smartphone-Compatible/dp/B0CYHL1J6M


    The "US Compatible LTE" means they claim the phone is compatible with US
    LTE frequency bands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands).

    The "Latin Variant" may mean what Dave Royal says, and the phone variant
    is for another country (where frequency bands could be different).
