Hello
So I have 2 numbers one on physical sim other on esim
I saw locally a galaxy fold 5G for good price
Question is does fold 5G (unlocked) support esim or is that only for 4G variant
It doesn't seem to in the UK at least, mine is an unlocked device direct from Samsung and there is no option for an esim, not eve a greyed out option.
From what I know the 5g is 1 sim I got mine from ee but has no ee bloat on it at all and has bsu so get updates direct from samsung the 4g version is dual sim 1 and esim not sure tho as 5g one only available in 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

Hi ,
Is there anyway to force carrier aggregation on the s20 ultra. I currently own the Samsung s20 ultra sm-g9880 snapdragon (Taiwan version , CSC BRI) I changed the CSC to Hong Kong (TGY) to enable 5g , as the Hong Kong firmware has it enabled (Taiwan hasn't enabled it yet , only 4g and they don't have 5g in that country till end of year) but I noticed on the Hong Kong firmware and CSC there's less carrier aggregation , so specifically for me band 28 (700) doesn't pair with other bands like it did on the Taiwan firmware, so it's mostly 4g not 4g+ on the Hong Kong CSC and much slower speeds. It's weird because band 28 is supported by Hong Kong firmware but only uses that band by itself not with other bands for faster speeds. This is particularly important for me in Australia.
Anyway to force this to happen without rooting the thing or should I just save myself the trouble , revert back to Taiwan CSC where 4g pairs and works perfectly just no 5g ?

Personally think that 5G is just increasing power consumption, and 4G bandwidth is enough to meet today's network usage

I think you're right. I'm actually getting better speeds on 4g, and I think I'll turn off 5g, and put the battery savings towards 120hz! Lol. 120 is required for me now, it just looks too good.

What country and carrier are you using in?
Recently upgraded my EE contract to 5G and am unable to connect my S20 5G phone to 5G, everything else works completely (samsung pay, 4g, 3g, 2g) and 5G is supposed to work due to network band compatibility as attested by others on reddit.
I have tried several times to test 5G by going to 5G areas in London but to no avail, when I am in network mode 5g/4g/3g the max I get is 4g+. I have even changed my sim card and recgecked my contract is indeed 5G. I am really not sure why this is happening. Please can someone help.
P.S. I have even tried using sim card slot 2 as some on other forums did and it still doesn't connect to 5g. I can confirm that 5g works with Vodafone so it definitely isn't a problem with the phone. EE customer service are useless.
