Z5 Compact difference between E5803 and E5823

[SebastianD]

Hi,

I was reading the White Paper of the Z5 Compact and saw that there are 2 different models. Then, I have a few questions about this.

1) The "LTE Download speed" is the ONLY difference between the 2 models? Or there are more "hidden" differences? 

2) The firmware is just the same for both phones? They have the same OTAs, basebands/modems/radio and all other images? ( /recovery;  /system; /radio; /bootloader; /boot; /data; etc. ). 

Thanks!

Me too. (Why isn't there a subscribe button?)

Both Clove and Handtec have recently updated their descriptions to say they're selling the E5823. But from the whitepaper, both should work on exactly the same networks.

It's the same differences each model that are relesed every 6-12 months. For example the Xperia Z5 (E6653) and Z5 Dual (E6633) on the first one it's a single sim, but you'll get the latest Cat6 LTE while on the other one will still be on a Cat4 LTE but you'll get a dual sim feature, odd move by sony but yeah there must at least one feature difference between models.

Ahmad, last time around, one model (D5833) didn't support some American LTE bands.
