Nexus 6 US version vs International Version? Which should I get?

[ArgusMercenary]

I have a problem, I'm not sure which version of this phone I should get. As I understand it correctly the only difference between the two versions is that the US version has CDMA radios to use for any carriers that might operate on those bands and the international version does not.

I don't live in the US, but the version I found on amazon is the US version and it is at a pretty good price right now. However, I'm not sure if I can buy it or not. If I buy it does that mean, that I can use the phone in my country without issue or should I just get the international version. Does it even matter as long as the phone is unlocked? Can I use a carrier from my country even with the US version? Help would be appreciated.

Depends on which LTE bands you want support for.

If you purchase direct from Google, it will be fully unlocked so you can use with any carrier.

Here's what they support or what they

GSM: 850 MHz
LTE: 2600 MHz and 800 MHz


I'm not sure about which band is which but that's what they told me. I think 2600 MHz is band 7 and 800 is band 20, but I don't know. I would purchase directly from google if I could, unfortunately their service isn't available in my country, so unless there's some way to hide my IP and connect to their website, I don't think that one's an option. Besides the version I found on Amazon is unlocked.
