    Uh, not just “compatible with a number of Chinese and international carriers including T-mobile and AT&T” but actually going on sale in the USA.

    See the $499 price tag?

    I logged into my account but apparently I can’t post with it but it’s just in this article.

    Anyway, the price is supposed to be lower in China, how much is 32GB going to be in USA? Will it be possible to order directly from the American website and maybe get it shipped to Europe?
    Does this support SD/MicroSD/whatever memory card expansion as websited suggest?

    No 4G !!! No SD card !!!

      No I think there will be LTE from what has been said. No clue about the card but I have found some sites saying there was while I found none saying there wasn’t…

        I don’t see LTE indicated on that spec page. They do, however, support the most up-to-date HSPA standard over UMTS networks.

        LTE would mean Oppo having to build, test and localize two versions of the Find 5 since LTE is still being rolled out in China. It would make little financial sense for a company of Oppo’s size to make that big of an investment when 3G in China is still far from reaching a plateau in numbers of users. Also the first LTE service in China is actually TD-LTE, a different standard financed by China Mobile…just as they did with their TD-SCDMA 3G network.

        No doubt Oppo will look at an LTE-capable device next if they get positive feedback (and sales) from the Find 5.

          I thought it was going to support both FD-LTE and TD-LTE from what I read. Well that’s what it said…

      Not the one in the Find 5 (and Xiaomi Mi2).

        Well I guess we’ll see on the 12th. It would make sene for them to put LTE they wouldn’t be the first in China so…

    Yeah, we’ll see for sure next week. I guess the Find 5′s internals will be something very similar to the Xiaomi Mi2, but that’s just my thinking.

    All smartphone with NFC has LTE :

    Pantech Vega Racer 2 (Dual Core), R3 (quad core)
    Nexus 4
    HTC Droid DNA
    etc …

    It’s for USA & Canada market !!!

    Xiaomi Mi2 doesn’t support NFC …

    The bad is micro slot SD are missing :(

    You can now also registe for notification of when the phone will be available at your country at their website.

    On a side note, APQ8064 supports LTE (has an embedded modem), the manufactor might have not enabled the (no antenna and stuff) but the chip it self has this feature…

      Um no, actually it does not have a modem. Download the Qualcomm Snapdragon product matrix and take a look. That doesn’t mean the manufacturer can’t pair it with a Qualcomm radio chip that supports LTE, but the APQ8064 has the flexibility to do as you like.

        Oh yes I see, made a mistake with the othe version of the S4 Pro
