I don't understand how to read the compatibility information

I need to purchase a new phone and I wanted to look up the compatibility with Public Mobile.  This is what I received using the startup function. I'm assuming that the sub-model information has the different types per country and Band width, but I'm not sure.

 

Does someone understand what this means? Could you please explain it to me? Thanks!

@NB-Pub All listed by you will work but usually you should know which you have.

Sub model is the model of the phone sold in different countries.  

 

Public Mobile uses the following frequency bands:

  • 4G LTE and LTE Advanced: 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz downlink and 1700 MHz uplink (AWS).
  • HSPA/3G: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz (UMTS).

Most of the submodels would work with Public Mobile.
