Are Chinese market Huawei phones compatible with Koodo networks?

Best answer by Dennis

Note there is a risk that VoLTE may not work with the device

Also Looks like the 5G bands are not compatible.

      Based on the specs from the Huawei website you should be good:
      https://consumer.huawei.com/en/phones/pura70-ultra/specs/

      If you have a specific link to the one you’re going to buy we can confirm that one as well, as models that are region specific can sometimes have different specs.
