Hello I am thinking about purchasing the S20 5g because of the price set (399.99) and wondering if anybody else has purchased one from Google could tell me if it comes with U1 firmware?
I can in fact say that it does come from Google Fi with the U1 Firmware.

Hello!
I am considering buying a Galaxy S9 today. I want to keep it on Oreo if possible due to wanting to use GravityBox. However, it is the T-Mobile version of the phone. Does this make a difference? I know with the Google Pixel you cannot unlock the bootloader if it is the Verizon version of the phone. Was just wondering if this is the case here with the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S9. Thanks so much in advance.
Can't root any american s9's.
Welp Samsung just lost my business
You can root the european ones though, you can find them on ebay easily.
I'm in the US and my Exynos S9 came in the mail today and it already has the Pie update and will be rooted as soon as I get home. I recommend everyone buy the Exynos versions when possible.
I am recently purchased a LG G7 ThinQ LM-G710ULM from Google and use it on Google Fi. Everything works fine so far. Previously, I was using a Samsung Galaxy Duos S8+ SM-G955FD on T-Mobile. I need a dual SIM phone for travel. I noticed that LG has a LG G7 ThinQ+ with 128 GB, 6GB of RAM available in Hong Kong. That model number is LM-G710EAW.
I am thinking of replacing the S8+ with a G7+ if I can turn that G7+ compatible with Google Fi with all Fi features. Otherwise, I might just as well to use the S8+ for travel.
The Question is: -
Can I flash the LM-G710ULM firmware G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz to the LM-G710EAW? If the hardware on these phones are the same, wouldn’t this turn the G7+ dual SIM into a Google Fi compatible Dual SIM phone?
I sure wish these phone manufacturers would make dual SIM phone available in the States and that would make life so much easier for the users that have the need.
No, you cannot cross flash. Try selling the device.
G710EAW is compatibile with Fi, I tried to sign up and was accepted. I had canceled the subscription to Fi because I have a better plan.
Be aware that you will brick your device if you flash it. Also the Hong Kong version, IMO, has some spyware, I have installed indian eaw firmware and it is more snappy and has better battery life.
Thanks. I think I am just going to keep the LM-G710ULM and the S8+ Duos. I normally carry two phones when travelling, as I have 3 different SIM cards. Maybe one of these days, we can get a 3 or 4 SIM phones. LOL!
Hello all, I'm coming back to Samsung after many years away... Note 1 days....
I recently bought a S20 5G model G9810 with the SD865. I use it in the US on both Google Fi and AT&T.
I'm wondering what are the tip and tricks and things that I should do with the phone to make it more compatible with the US etc...
Or is it good out the box as is and nothing needs to be done?
Current software version is: SAOMC_SM-G9810_OZS_TGY_QQ_0017
TIA.

in this eSIM thread it seemed to work on S20
eSIM?
So, I've read in several places the US N20U has eSIM. I see the eSIM control app is in stalled. But that's all I see of it. Even an article here on XDA says all N20Us have eSIM except Japan, Korea and China. Can anyone confirm? And if so, how...

I guess you can try out textrapp's esim, they are very reliable. I use this during my international travel.

ESIM is hardware related, you will not able to do it on S21 FE since it does not contain the eSIM hardware, but I think the S20 does. Some providers can give you a normal SIM, which can be able to use as eSIM as well.
