Why do they release these without multi-band 6 outside of Japan. I have purchased a Japan model, but I don’t understand why they do this
I agree. It would be simpler and more desirable to offer the same models worldwide. My guess is that they feel the Multi-Band 6 feature is not as important to the U.S. market, that buyers wouldn’t want to pay more for that feature.
