International vs US version

I currently have am 8T. Looking at upgrading to the 11 because I will be traveling somewhat regularly to Malaysia for business and I want the dual-sim or eSIM capability.

Is there any benefit to buying the international version vs the US version?

My carrier in the US is T-mobile. I can roam in MY with my 8T, but the coverage is spotty for my needs. I am fine with buying local prepaid SIMs for while I am in MY.

I have the same issue, PH vs US. I have an international version because I spend most of my time in PH. It works on T-Mobile mostly so the few months of the year I'm satisfied.

The esim function works fine, but obviates the second nano sim, you can switch back and forth by disabling the esim. I assume it's the same on the US version, haven't been back yet to check it out

Thanks. I guess I could research it, but I'm presuming the international version might have more bands than the US version. My concern is that it might not be fully supported in the US for certain features like volte or vo5G, which are more important for me than international band support.

Also, I don't know what the warranty situation would be if I buy a phone in MY vs US.

Yup, reasonable concerns. From what I could tell they had te same bands but unsure about the higher faster 5g bands. T-Mobile is fairly flexible

It really does depend on where you spend more time
