Can you post a link to the specific device you're querying? It's the 4G & 5G frequency bands that are most important.

The device will need to support 4G Bands 1, 3, 7, 20 & 28. 5G Bands N28-700Mhz, N78 3500Mhz, along with 1800 & 2100Mhz

Be aware EE's 700Mhz & 800Mhz spectrum does rely on a VoLTE-compatible SIM/device combination, which may not always be the case with foreign-spec phones.

1800Mhz is EE's base 4G layer.
