So got a great deal on a new mate 20x 5g so i just received it today. Im using it on TMobile in Phoenix Az and when i switch network preference to 5g it shows 5g symbol with almost full bars. I thought this didn't have TMobile 5g bands? Maybe its just showing the symbol but not actually on 5g?

Anybody?? ...
Is the data speed fast at least or is it the exact same speed at 4g? I found tmobile 5G to be slower than 4G in my area.
Mate 20 X 5G doesn't support T-Mobile 5G well, if there is n41 SA available then you maybe could use that. Here is listed supported bands and combinations: https://cacombos.com/device?model=EVR-N29
You see 5G icon because your phone see 5G UpperLayerIndicator message in SIB2.

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
i just recently received my s20 ultra LTE, there is no 5G enable. just want to know is this software limitation or that 5G modem is missing in my phone. its powered with exynos 990.
depends on what market you're living!
4G ultra might offer significant better battery life since the external 5g modem is disabled. we need to wait and check
Possibility your SIM is is not 5g ready?

What speed are you getting on 4G?
Tbh if it's anything like the UK then you'll have more than enough speed and better battery life.
The phone capable of 5G (network permitting) but do we really need it? Similar to the ram, do we need 12-16GB? Lol, not really.
Run a does test, see what you get.
175Mb down? Lol that's slow for me..
Check yours

Just tried it on my S20 Ultra 5G, Qualcomm version and works as well! It has been a while since I could lock a certain band on my Samsung device without having to root, so thanks for the heads up!
I have created a video as a proof, available here https://youtu.be/H7EhuUfcQio

Dear friend
If you reside in a particular location and the nearby tower is having many bands of same operator. Our mobile phone latches to a particular band or a combination of band called carrier Aggregation or LTEA depending on the configuration of cell site. You can try any combination which gives best speeds at your place and also coverage.

i have locked it to TDD LTE band 40 for maximum speed. Noticing significantly lesser battery drain for now with screen on.
May be while travelling should choose lesser bands for coverage.

Which company sim?
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.
