🌍 Strong Global Coverage

The U60 Pro's 21 5G bands provide excellent global coverage, though not as comprehensive as some competitors:

Americas: Good coverage with n2, n5, n7, n26, n29, n41, n48, n66, n71 (missing key US bands n12, n13, n14, n70)
Europe: Excellent coverage with n1, n3, n7, n8, n20, n28, n40, n77, n78, n79 (complete)
Asia-Pacific: Excellent coverage with n1, n3, n8, n18, n28, n40, n41, n77, n78, n79 (complete)
Middle East/Africa: Excellent coverage with n1, n3, n8, n20, n28, n40, n78 (complete)

Note: The U60 Pro is optimized for Europe and Asia-Pacific. For comprehensive US coverage, consider the Puli AX (28 bands including n12, n13, n14, n70) or Mudi 7 NA (18 bands with all US carriers).
