Just got a new honor 9x. Have used honor 5x and 6x for several years with good results.

The problem is the 9x only gets 1 bar of cellular service at my house. My 6X (which I was going to migrate from) gets 5 bars. Both are on the same Consumer Cellular AT&T network.

The only thing I can figure is this particular 9x is defective. Does anyone know of anything I might have missed that would make it only get 1 bar? With only 1 bar pictures can't be received via text messaging plus calls drop.

The unlocked international version will only work on GSM carriers. Meaning, AT&T and T-Mobile. Because the phone won't be optimized for US networks, you will miss out on some carrier-specific features like Wi-Fi calling and some LTE bands, which can lead to poor reception when indoors. It's worth repeating.

Neither one of those Honor phones show any low band US LTE support. I only see bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 38, 40 & 41 listed for the 9x. Even fewer for the 6x.

You are likely only seeing HSPA on those phones (3G or fake 4G)
