ROOTING
Dual Sim
5G ( not very important )
Exynos or HK Snapdragon version?
Exynos is probably best for root since they can all be rooted, as for dual SIM I don't think any 5G variant has it, so I would assume for dual SIM you would need a non network branded 4G variant if you want dual SIM, or at least that is the case in Europe.

I was kinda between Note 20 Ultra and Note 10+. Am I correct to to understand that if I need Root, I would need Exynos - and the 5G bands of China Global wouldnt work with the North american one and on top, paying that extra for the same Exynos chip is not worth it, so better off with Note 10+
Note 20 Ultra HK Snapdragon has Dual Sim but its rooting is rare - and its 5G bands work in Caanda
Note 20 Ultra US/Canada version has no Dual Sim and rooting is not possible
Note 20 Ultra China Global and Dual Sim + Root but has same chip and 5G bands wont work = Seeing this, should I get Exynos Note 10+ instead so it's actually worth it

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
Hi all
I live in the uk and would like to buy a note 10 plus 5g 512Gb dual sim, unfortunately it's not available in the uk only the single sim available. Does anyone know if it's available in that format where I could get one that would work in the uk
Thanks in advance
I think only the 4g version has a dual sim option globally. Correct me if I am wrong though...
5G version of note 10 plus doesn't come with dual sim
Thanks for the replys I will order the 4G version I have found a 512 GB version on egloba,l as the uk only does the dual sim version in 256GB
Wrong information
There is a Note 10 Plus 5G in dualism.
It's the Chinese Version model # : SM-9760
The Problem Samsung is making a big secret of this in Europe. The problem is how to get it and maybe the Rom /frequency band problems for Europe.
I hope next high and Samsung phones like s11 note 11 will have at least dual sim if not this is my last Samsung device
What variant should you buy if you want to root with att and has the Snapdragon processor? Bands would also have to work for signal

Anyone? Is it the f or the DS variant? Or maybe b?
I'm not positive but usually you need Exynos processor to root. That means you'll be the UK or International variant which is usually the F.
It's very unlikely there will be root for the Snapdragon processor if it's carrier unlocked, much less likely if it is at&t flavored. Those were the good old days.
I was planing on getting the note 10 5g before this phone and the "better" one was the China version... They had snapdragon devices rooted in those threads
I want to get an asian variant of the s20 ultra so I can unlock my bootloader but those varients don't support the bands for T-Mobile 5G. Would it be possible to somehow enable the T-Mobile US bands on that variant?
600 MHz is low band and i think this device antenna or other RF-elements doesn't support such low band. 5G is too new also and you have to also somehow define en-dc combinations so i don't recommend buy this variant. If you like make sure 5G works, buy device from home market.
Hi,
Does anyone have the 0 or F/DS variant in Canada and do any of the following features work for you? If they do or don't please also post your carrier (I'm on Telus).
- WiFi Calling
- LTE-A
- VoLTE
- e-SIM
Looking at getting the Hong Kong variant since e-SIM isn't even a working function in Canada or the USA for that matter when the iPhone and other phones get it. Every year I push myself closer and closer to just getting an iPhone. Boot loader completely locked down, check. Can't root, check. VoLTE doesn't work unless it's a carrier phone, check. No e-SIM, check. Like what's the point of an Android anymore? All the above features work on an iPhone no matter what carrier (or country for that matter) you bought it from. Samsung is a mush of CSC files, hardware variants, LTE bands...
Thanks,

No such thing as a perfect device, likely never will be. Best option is to list feature priorities then decide. i have the Hong Kong variant on T-mobile USA. Dual SIM which eliminates the need for an eSIM, bootloader is unlocked, can root the device. WiFi Calling and VoLTE function but no Carrier Aggeration (LTE-A). I wouldn't consider the F/DS variant, it has the Exynos SoC. Not an iPhone fan either, not impressed with their devices or ecosystem.
Thanks for the reply, its nice to see at least VoLTE and WiFi calling work (at least on T-Mobile in the USA). Anyone here on Telus? LTE-A isn't a priority considering a single band is typically fast enough for me these days, if I'm on a lower band it's for a reason (like distance). Does your dual SIM phone still support e-SIM? It's nice just to scan a plan and get going verses hunting the airport / local stores for a SIM.
Priority for me goes:
1) WiFi Calling
2) VoLTE
3) e-SIM
4) LTE-A

eSIM isn't available unless you aquire an International Variant with the Exynos SoC. I'm not aware of any Dual SIM devices which support eSIM. IMHO you have to really want the eSIM to sacrifice a device with a vastly inferior Exynos SoC.

No no, dual SIM would be best in that case. Anyone in Canada can comment on the above?
Does Wifi-Calling work on both SIMs or SIM/eSIM on the S2, if they are from a different region?
Both my providers allow Wifi-Calling abroad.
Can anybody please confirm?
I have a Telus S20+ only support VoLTE, no WIFI-Calling. The reason I get this phone because of esim such a big disappointment.
I have Hongkong variant s20 5G (sm-g9810) using in Sri Lanka.
The phone supports physical dual SIM , dual 5G, VoLTE , VolWIFI.
Only disappointment with Hongkong variant is the lack of e-sim support and Call recording feature.
