The famous and even controversial Nexus 5. (Image Source: Press Release / Google) With the arrival of the increasingly modern Brazilian market of mobile smartphone devices, many people are looking for models that are already able to work with 4G technology. After all, this type of connection promises to be much faster and grows increasingly in scope, facilitating their internet surfing.
However, it is necessary to take a little care. This happens for the simple fact that the frequency used in Brazil for the 4G function is not defined the same in other countries, like the United States or some other Europeans. And in case you’re wondering, the current Brazilian band is of 2,570 to 2,620 MHz (Band 28), which is also adopted by Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Mexico, for example.
Something that should change soon

Once the federal government can release the frequency of 700 MHz, which is currently used by analogue TV channels, the country will start using the same band of the United States. This is good for two reasons: it facilitates the coming of devices for national stores as well as makes the buying process easier by internet
.
Considering all this information, we, the Tecmundo, we prepared a short article to help you buy the correct model of the famous Nexus 5 – and yes, we are talking about that it works with 4G “Green and Yellow”. Are you curious? Then read on for a few more minutes.
A little bit of calm in this hour!

Before anything, we need to give some important information for those who wish to purchase a Nexus 5. The first is the fact that the unit still can not be purchased through the official website of Google. This happens for the simple fact that online sales to Brazil are blocked and the page automatically tracks your IP -. Ie, there is no way to complete the transaction and there is no “tricks” to circumvent this restriction
Secondly, there are reports that the first batch of Nexus 5 had some minor defects. The questions are related to loose physical buttons that do not work right and wheezing sound coming out of the box. The solution of most people was returning smartphone from Google and get a new one, and the company is aware of the situation and working to resolve it.
Because of all this, you may want to wait a bit to buy your Nexus 5.
Doing everything the right way!

If you want to just buy your new smartphone, it is necessary to use secondary markets, so to speak. The most popular alternatives are Ebay or Amazon, and currently prices can range from $ 520 (R $ 1,196 at today’s price) to $ 650 (R $ 1.495) – and of course you must check the transaction history of the seller, avoiding falling into scams.
Something important to be strengthened is the official price of the smartphone, which is U.S. $ 349 (£ 802, excluding tax) to $ 399 (R $ 917) – for versions with 16 GB and 32 GB, respectively . It is likely that, when the supply of the device increases, its price falls, even in deals made with retailers.
Moreover, it is necessary that you look for model D821 , which is the new version of the Nexus with global configuration, so to speak. That way, your smartphone can be sent to different regions of the world and continue working normally, which includes the operation of 4G Brazil. If you find the D820 model, avoid it, since he is scheduled to work on the frequency used in the United States.
After you find the correct model, at an acceptable price and also a highly rated seller on the site of your choice, simply make a purchase. However, be aware of the price and availability of freight, as well as the fact that electronics are normally taxed when entering Brazil – learn more about it by clicking here -., As these details become more expensive to purchase
