The Verizon Note 10+ 5G has the older, inferior X50 modem, which is said to overheat and have issues with 4G/5G handoffs. The T-Mobile variant has the X55 modem which is said to be much more stable. Would one be able to take a T-Mobile variant, unlock it, flash a Verizon CSC and have it be fully functional? I know that Samsung is not selling an Unlocked variant, but I'd also be curious to see what CSC's the T-Mobile variant supports. I also looked at the AT&T variant but notice it doesn't support LTE Band 13.
You could use it, but you'll not get the 5G from my understanding. The T-Mobile Note 10 plus 5G only has sub-6 frequencies, where Verizon only uses mmWave.

Hello all, I was planning on getting the Note 10 plus international to use on ATT in the US. The reason being is because the Exynos has support for rooting and custom roms. My question is if i were to purchase the international version, what would be the difference between the 5G and regular 4G? Would the 5G work in the US? Regular bands seems identical on both devices, but would the 5g also work once they are available?
Thank you in advance
I currently have the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F/DS Dual SIM. It been working great for the past couple of years.

This is up to you if you want too future proof the device with getting 5h or not so? I recall 5g will be rolling out slowly in the US.
Thats the idea, but will it actually work? On att in the US if I purchase the international 5g model?
Ps. Is the snapdragon versions still an issue to install custom roms?
I don't know if it's important for you, but the 5g model is single sim only. Dual sim is only available on the 4g version.
Had the dual sim for my note 8 because of availability, but I do not have a need for the dual sim. Just was curious as to the band compatibility of 5g because i cant find anywhere where it states that the european 5g is the same as us 5g
I am looking at buying a Galaxy Note 10÷ 5g Unlocked International version,just wondering if it will work on T-Mobile or At&t networks?and if so what would I lose or gain from it?Thank you for any info on this matter.
You won't get 5G in the states. On top of that, you will experience slower LTE due to partial compatibility with carrier aggregation. You lose access to band 71 on T-Mobile and some bands on AT&T. Samsung Pay functionality limited to whatever is offered by the region you imported from.

Ok Thank you I guess I will wait till they release in the states for the other carriers.
I have a Note 10+ 5G from T-Mobile and was wondering if it would be at all possible to enable NR Band n5 for use on AT&T's low band 5G network. Because both of the devices hardware is identical would it be theoretically possible to enable that band?
maybe flashing the ATT software with ODIN, but with ATT if the IMEI# isn`t in there database as a ATT branded phone, they wont let you use the wifi calling and 5G, I just sold a oneplus 8 pro thats suppose to work with ATT 5G and I have the elite plan with 5g and it would not work, so I think if it`s not a ATT branded 5G phone you won`t get the 5G, I have the 10 plus 5g right now but its ATT one, Tmobile is more flexible with unlocked phones, I regret going back to ATT, and it will be the last time I go back to them end of the year I plan on going back to Tmobile.
I have a bootloader unlocked, rooted Galaxy S20 Ultra SM-G9880 (Hong Kong version) that I am using on T-Mobile. However, I had some doubts about how it interacts with the various bands.
The phone does not support some of T-Mobile's LTE bands, and it does not seem to support any of their current 5G bands. Is there any way to change this with CSC changes or any other trickery?
Would AT&T be better for any of this?
When I use the Samsung band selector app, I see that NR B41 is supported. This is the Sprint spectrum that T-Mobile is repurposing, correct? Does that mean additional 5G and LTE coverage once the rollout is complete?
Another user was having problems enabling carrier aggregation. Is there a way of doing this?

You can't change to a US CSC on your device. Some users are reporting 5G works only on SIM2. Carrier Aggregation isn't compatible in the US with the SM-G9880. I have the Hong Kong variant on T-mobile and 4G LTE works fine.

Would you happen to know if our imei works with 5g on t mobile? I just switched last month from att. On att, you would have to call and give an att imei in order for 5g to work and I'm wondering if t mobile is the same way or if it works out of the box with our imei.
Also, I have an SD card and seems like I cannot have a Sim on slot 2 and an SD at the same time, do you happen to know if an esim will get 5g?

That's a question for T-mobile. It's not a question of your IMEI, it's whether or not your device's available 4G and 5G bands are compatible with T-mobile. I don't know what model you have but if it's a US model eSim isn't available on S20 devices. Only Exynos devices have eSim capabilities.

I have the same model that's been on topic... The SM-G9880...
SM-G9880 isn't eSim enabled, only Exynos variants offer this. 5G may work, take it to your local T-mobile store and see if they can set it up. Often times information coming from a CSR over the phone isn't reliable. If it worked with AT&T on SIM 1 T-mobile it MAY work as well however many users have stated it only works on SIM 2. Even though T-mobile's 5G network has a larger coverage area they can't match the speed of AT&T's mmWave network.

I know that some people were trying to enable eSIM on rooted Snapdragon S20 Ultra devices. Did anything ever happen with that?

If you root the device I suppose it's possible to override an eSim block on the SM-G9880 but I'm not aware of anyone achieving it. The only Snapdragon variant which offers eSim at this time is the Galaxy Fold. I don't understand what the value of eSim is on a Dual SIM device. Even if you travel to a different country it's a simple choice, keep the SD Card in or use both SIM's and rely on internal memory for storage.
Did anyone try using BRI CSC to see if CA works in the USA?
Hi I have unlocked Note10+ 5G SM-N976V verizon note 10 + 5G. I was wondering if there is anyway to flash T-mobile fiermware and convert to t-mobile version. I am moving from Verizon to T-mobile. TIA.

[/QUOTE/]
Simple answer is no... here is why, it's to my understanding that the V variant of the N10+5g has limited capabilities on the 5g network because it was a Verizon specific model. if you live in the US then you'll want the 976U version for best Universal 5G coverage on the Note 10 plus

While I may be mistaken, I don't think so. The Verizon variant lacks Superpartition which is present on the Tmo version.
