  According to http://www.smartisan.com/en/m1/#/specs, they do seem to have all the bands -- even LTE Band 12 for T-Mobile US, as well as LTE Band 7 for some Canadian operators, so, it looks very plausible, at least for T-Mobile US and AT&T Mobility -- you should have no problem with either LTE or UMTS/HSPA+.

  Note their WiFi bands are 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, not 2.4 and 5.0
  (under the "specifications" tab on the M1/M1L phone).
