Would a US OnePlus 8 work in Ireland?

    I'm looking at purchasing the new OnePlus 8 Pro in Ultramarine blue, but unfortunately they don't sell the UM Blue colour in Ireland. I was wondering if I'd have any cellular connectivity issues if I were to purchase a OP8 in UM blue from the US website, and get it shipped to an AddressPal address and forwarded here.

    Obviously the plug will be different, but its the 4G/5G and cell tower connectivity Im worried about. There are specs on the OP website for US and Irish carriers, but I don't know what they are/mean.

    Would appreciate if anyone could shed light on this for me!

    You need to know if there is a distinct American model different from anywhere else.



    The 3 and 20 are bands, these are listed in the Oneplus 8 Pro spec and the new 5G in Ireland is band 78.



    The general model should be fine here

    Just be sure !! I ordered a 3T and picked it up in the US .....but never worked on 4G here as it was an American spec. Back then they had 3 versions a Chinese/US/Rest of the world. Had a 3T/5T and now a 7T ...love them

    From comparing specs on the websites (US/IRE) Band 29/30/71 missing from Ireland version .....and 32 missing from US spec !
    Couple more if you investigate .....looks like they are different
