Anyone have the Mate 20 X 5g on T-Mobile in December 2020? Getting true 5g speeds? I want to buy the 5g version.

That's from Dec 2019. See mine from Dec 2020. Be more useful

Just go to Tmobile and find their bands-that way you can be more useful!. Things don't change just because a year passed by...and people like me never will. So there...saying in sarcasm and jest as the internet is your friend. Everyone wants to be spoonfed. Tmobile 5g bands are NR 41 / 71 / 260 / 261
which of these match the 5g bands of the 20x 5g model? Will leave you to that much work and be useful...
T-Mobile network
Learn about coverage and technologies of the T-Mobile network, including a 5G and 4G LTE Coverage map, device compatibility, and more.

you have to scroll down to find the bands...oh such a lot of work lol

No 5G option EE UK

Hey everyone,
So I've got myself the S20 plus G9860 which I believe is the Hong Kong variant, 5G dual SIM etc.
I've noticed I don't have the option for 5G under connection settings.
I'm using EE and have a 5G plan in the UK
EE have dismissed me by saying it's the phone and it being a international model.
Any ideas?
I also don't have the option for e-sim which again is very weird!
Please help

Did you try to factory reset with the ee simcard in the phone? It will setup the phone on uk csc.
I'm not sure if 5g functionality is csc restricted or not.. But if it is this will do the trick.

you need to be very careful - 5G spectrum is different for each variant based on the market is released - so phones that might have 5G in USA or ASIA will not work in 5G in Europe and viceversa as each country uses different spectrums, unlike 4g - and the phones only support the ones in the markets they are released!

I have SM-G986B/DS mine is dual sim both normal sims and laso has 5g on both sim slots

Tried a factory reset and still nothing, same options appear.
I checked the supported bands prior to buying this phone and it supports N78 for EE in the UK.
Is there a secret menu or something I can confirm it actually has 5G and its just disabled?

then maybe get in touch with EE maybe you need a new sim or your plan doesnt have 5g enabled on it

As mentioned in my original post, I have a 5G plan and EE have dismissed me as soon as they heard it's a non UK model, stating it's the phone and not them!
Silly question but would I need to be in a 5G area for this option to show? Or is the 5G option always there regardless

5g is always an option I'm on 02 with a 5g sim however where I live isn't 5g but in connection settings it still shows 5g

Are you using the exynos variant or Snapdragon?

Try going to phone dialer app, enter the code *#2263# and tell us what is the options..
From here try selecting the one with 5G for the appropriate sim slot and see if it works..
Try to choose 5G with 4G since 5G coverage is not that good.
Mine is exynos s20+ 4G model so mine doesn't have 5G available. Yours may be different.

I'm sure it'll come to USA phones too that are outside USA.

Is this a UK wide update not seen it for sky mobile or anyone else. There's a bug with rcs advanced chat services in Samsung messager. Can you co firm if advanced chat / rcs is activated?

Which dual sim ultra version covers AT&T 5G bands?

I need a dual sim device but all of them seem to miss band 30 which is important on ATT. Some of the dual sim are 4G only. Some also have 5G but does anyone know if those 5G bands are the same as the 5G that ATT uses? If so, which exact model?

Clearly...! But I was asking about dual sim models. All the US models are single sim.
Anyone know of any DUAL sim models that have the US 5G bands?

I am not sure which version support AT&T 5G but from this website(if the information correct) https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-model-number-sm-g980-g981-differences/
Hongkong/Taiwan/[China] - Snapdragon support the same network as US model.
There are 2 dual SIM version.
1. International - Asia + Middle east
2. Hongkong/Taiwan/[China]
if you buy the phone from oversea eSIM might be disabled so many people are having this issue.
But why you need dual SIM when you can get eSIM if you buy US version.

I believe they only have one IMEI

after some research I think the SM-G9880 is the same as the US device but dual sim. Im not certain as there appears different information out there, but it would be great if someone who has one and is using it in the US on ATT could confirm if it gets US 5G

Being on lockdown due to corona virus, I'm getting lazy.
Go Google all the frequencies AT&T operates on.
Go Google all the frequencies the variants of s20 you are interested in.
If all the frequencies uses by AT&T is supported then it's fine.
Sorry, I'm getting lazy from working from home..

its crazy. there are two different versions of the SM-G988B/DS, one with 5G but no band 30, and one without 5G (but it has band 30). I think. Its so unclear. some websites show it differently.

Actually ALL s20 models have hybrid dual SIM in the form of a single physical sim and one ESim.

@op did u get the sm9880? If so does it work well with at&t? I was wondering if i can use samkey to change csc to att? Im planning on getting sm9880.

G9880 only supports csc TGY, BRI or CHC.

u can check if it includes att 5g band. BTW G9880 doesn't support mmwave

From Qualcomm devices you can get supported bands and combinations with Scat: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...tions-from-your-android-phone/#Scat_(Qualcomm) . Please share your device log to https://cacombos.com/contribute
I have already listed some combinations here: https://cacombos.com/search?key=S20+Ultra .

No US Galaxy devices support eSim. The main US service providers have squashed it. Only iPhone and a couple of other devices can activate eSim in the US.

Question C band for Verizon? Future of 5g

Does anyone know if this phone or the regular one plus nine will have c-band for verizon? I'm considering getting this phone, currently on verizon, trying to decide between the nine and nine pro

I hope OnePlus 9 Pro will work on any 5g bands.
8 pro does NOT !
I talk with OnePlus and they say that will be fixed on future updates. That was last year..

i have no idea. i think it could change for verizon but at&t is very strict about what they are letting on their 5g network.

I spoke with an agent at One Plus and they said the 9 pro would be compatible with Verizon's 5G network out of the box.
Also chatted with a verizon agent, and they said I would just need to put a verizon 5G sim in it.

Interesting. I guess we'll see?
Do we think it will work on the ultra fast portion of their 5g band?

who knows, knowing verizon, they'll find a way to gum up the works. when I go to activate the device next week, I'll give an update.
This is from the one plus website, under carrier compatibility:
Verizon: Support Band (LTE): 2/4/5/13/46/48/66 Support Band (NR) n2/n5/n66

The 9 Pro currently supports Low and mmWave 5G on Verizon, C-Band is disabled, however you can enable it using QPST but you will not have a UW icon.

I do, I did it on my 9 Pro, highest speed I've gotten 670Mbps down, however I'm gonna be honest, it's too complicated (for me) to write out on here, and too dangerous to accidentally mess something up, I'd wait till someone who knows how to explain things on here, writes it up.

I know that OnePlus has C-Band (N77) disabled in the software, however you can enable it with QPST, I did on my 9 Pro and running a speed test, the fastest speeds I got was around 670Mbps, however, the only issue I have is that I cannot figure out how to make it show the 5G UW icon from mmWave, I know the phone has it, is there any way for me to manually enable the 5G UW icon for C-Band (N77) with QPST? Can it be enabled with root (Magisk)?
Second question, do you guys think OnePlus will enable C-Band on the 9 Series? Will it be Oxygen OS 12 exclusive, or will they send out 1 more Oxygen OS 11 update (11.2.11.11)?

Because I suck at explaining things, I definitely don't have the patience to write out a detailed tutorial, and I don't want the guilt of possibly bricking someone's phone, which is why I keep saying people should wait till someone patient enough writes a tutorial.

Question What's the deal with 5G mmWave & Sub-6 ?

Can anyone explain what's the whole deal with the 5G mmWave & Sub-6 ? I'm asking because I'm in Romania, on Orange carrier, and have 5G plan. I had a Xiaomi Mi 11 which had 5G signal, but now with my P6P only LTE. Also no voLTE and no voWIFI.
I checked with them(Orange), they reset my network, tried eSIM, tried another SIM, still only LTE.
I get about 200 mb\sec, but I pay for 1.2 gb\sec(I know it won't be that fast, but with the Mi 11 I had about 450-500 mb\sec, and lower pings in everything). Does anyone know how to enable voLTE at least?

The only thing I could find from Google was this article https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10082009?hl=en

Have you gotten the December update for your P6P yet? I believe it has some 5G fixes, although I don't use 5G so I can't speak about it first hand.

It's just marketing. 2.5 GHz is the suburban mid-band 5G. mmwave is the very distance limited high-band 5G meant only for stadiums, parks, and dense downtown areas.
Both are marketed as ultra capacity.

I've been reading about T-Mobile 5G. Apparently there are three tiers. The first low wave isn't that much faster than 4G. Then included with UC there's medium 2.4 ghz wave which for me is a lot faster. I live in a medium sized city and I pick up UC most of the time. I was able to get 390 Mbps with medium wave. I haven't picked up the ultra high band yet, which is of course UC also.

The chances are your phone only has Sub6 and doesnt even have the necessary mmWave hardware anyway (unless you bought it in the states) so i wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

So my 5g phone can't connect to 5g ? Wow...nice move, google.

If it can't connect to the very short-range mmwave. You still get mid-band and nationwide 5G if your carrier has built it out.
But yes, it is a **** move that Google removes the antenna from Pro models that don't include mmwave. They just shove a piece of plastic to fill out the space.

What do you mean it cannot connect to 5G? Sub-6 will still get you more speed than you'll ever need and of course the main benefit which is capacity, also you're not going to have to stand next to the cell site to even get it, you can be miles away to benefit. mmWave isnt even deployed in most countries because in everyday use it is pointless.

Absolute nonsense ..
Here in Austria the pixel is not officially sold, 5G and VOLTE still work perfectly.

5G wont work in unsupported countries. At the ss you can see what country is supported in the Europe. You can just google it if you dont belive it (example: "5g blocked in unsupported countries google pixel")
Google blocks it, and is lying that is that countries operators fault. But it is obviously a lie. The theme is discussed from Pixel 4a 5G. Until now on the other pixels with 5G, you could install the magisk module, which unlocked everything, so how come it's the operators fault, if the lock was discovered in the software. Pixels 6/pro have a 5G modem from Samsung, so maybe that's the fault why you haven't yet been able to unlock via the magisk module
In summary, it's not about any frequencies, the Pixel 6/pro supports all 5G frequencies used in Europe. This is Google's fault alone, they are tardy and don't want to solve this problem, and probably just don't give a **** about the other countries. Best to spam on their Pixel forum and in the feedback, maybe they will finally wake up

I don't know if this helps anyone: Check carriers, their 5G networks & their 5G roaming support for Pixel phones. Make sure and choose your country from the drop-down to see the list of carriers beneath.
There's also the section above that Learn which Pixel phones can work with which kinds of 5G.

you mix between unsupported countries, and official sales countries. there are so many countries which not official sales of Pixel but google just official supported carrier, and there are so many countries that they dont at all.
