Blu Life One X 4G compatibility

[Shahmatt]

I'm thinking of shipping in a Blu Life One X from Amazon - tired of Xiaomi phones. But I'm worried about 4G signal compatibility

For Starhub:
4G: 1800, 2600MHz (can help to confirm?)

Blu Life One X official published frequencies:
4G: Bands 2 (1900), 4 (1700), 7 (2600), 12 (700a), 17 (700b)

I think only Band 7 is compatible: 2600MHz (can help to confirm?)

If I cannot connect to 1800MHz will I lose indoor signal?

According to this HWZ article, StarHub's is riding solely on the 1,800MHz band leh ....

I think maybe this article is old. Starhub website says as follows:

"4. Can I use a 4G LTE handset/tablet/dongle bought overseas to work on StarHub’s 4G LTE network? StarHub’s 4G LTE service operates on 1800MHz and 2600MHz spectrum. Hence, some overseas 4G LTE mobile devices may not be compatible with our 4G network."

It kind of depends on how extensive their network is. You can check their coverage on the IDA website.

For your info, I used the Moto X 2013 for quite some time on SingTel 4G. It too also supports only Band 7 but I rarely lose LTE except when underground.
