Sorry if the same question asked before, I did the research and couldn't find the answer yet.
I bought 9 pro EU version for dual sim cards, and plan to root the phone too.
Since I'll use the phone with T-Mobile, will I get wifi calling as well as 5G? What's the best image I can use? Thanks

I believe the bands are very different from the US bands used here. You'll probably have a hard time simply connecting to T-Mobile, but if you have a SIM card lying around, it wouldn't hurt to see if I'm wrong .
I wish there was a definitive answer for this by now.... I need to buy a DUAL SIM phone with CUSTOM ROMS available that works on T-MOBILE... And I can't find anything that works for all 3 requirements
LE2123 is Chinese device right?
Why is the OP mentioning that it's an EU version?

The LE2123 supports T-Mobile bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 41, and 66 on LTE which means it's only missing 71 (which unfortunately is a large portion of indoor and rural coverage) but the 5G side is pretty bleak since it's missing n71. It has T-Mobile's n41 midband but without n71, you're going to drop from 5G to LTE a lot.
It will work, it just won't be the best you can get from T-Mo. I don't believe there is a device that meets your requirements with full compatibility unless you can deal with having eSIM for one slot and get an unlocked Pixel 6/Pro.

I live in Europe and I am thinking to buy a LE2120 device, but inside the OS settings it shows that it's LE2123.
Does this mean that it will work fine with the bands here?

It sounds like it has been converted to LE2123 software but the bands aren't changed by the software.

Hi. Does anyone know if there will be a global version of the x50 pro plus?
This phone pretty much ticks all the boxes, except for the missing band 20. Wonder if anyone has read anything about the global market?
Well sadly i do think the X50 Pro Plus won't get any Global version this phone supposed to sell in China Only..

It depends on what you consider as a global version. Yes, you ought to clean Chinese apps and settings at the beginning. And customize the phone. But otherwise, every global application I tried, works.

With a lot of these Chinese brands the global and chinese versions differ in hardware and software. For example the Chinese version doesn't support a lot of the 4g bands needed for the European market, whilst the global version does.
Also things like.google pay often don't work on Chinese versions whilst on global version they do

And you have a dedicated global model for EU markets Vivo X51 5G with band 20 LTE. Since Vivo just established a few branch offices around Europe you can expect more to come. And global rom should be purer and purer Android with just a few improvements inherent to Vivo.

If you interested Wonda Mobile has global X50 Pro (same as X51) from India at 679 euro against 799 euro of European model. They have the same bands missing in Chinese model (b20 and b32 for lte and band n28 on 5G)
Hi, I have a question about telus 5G, anyone can connect telus 5G network? I don't even have 5G switch in setting.
thank you!
I have a OP9 and same issue. Data is also very slow but that could be a separate issue.
If it's available/provisioned to your SIM, I'd assume that setting your Preferred Network Type to the variant that includes 5G should allow it to be received.
I support some clients on Telus, but I'm not well versed in how they're rolling out 5G and/or what bands they're using, etc.

In other words "Buy a phone from us if you want 5G".

That's unfortunate. I swear I remember my OnePlus 8 Pro being 5G compatible though. I never saw it in the status bar but it was an option inside settings. Strange that the 9 is not seeing 5G anywhere.
Maybe someone will come out with some kind of mod or tool to force 5G.
Hola
Sad situation this is. Stranger still is that I had a Xiaomi Mi 10 last year and I was able to get 5G in certain locations. And at one point Telus was the least restrictive when it came to VoLTE and WiFi Calling enablement on non-Telus branded phones.
5G is not enabled in Telus 5G-network. Here is listed 5G supported devices: https://mt.ax/0x390

LE2125 is the north america/global version. If they bought the CN version it is a different model and likely running ColorOS
You're going to be missing a LOT of bands on the Chinese version. You get 2, 4, 12, 41, but are missing 66 and 71. You're also only going to get one band of 5G, and missing out on 3, including the MMWave stuff.-
You will NOT have a good time on that phone.
Hi guys i've searched all over the net for a solution and i am starting to think that there is none.
I've bought a Samsung Fold3 5g SM-F926U1 and i think it is an US model. I live in Romania and i can't get 5g signal, only LTE. Tried everything that is normal, reset settings, update internet profile, switched on and off, selected 5G auto and/or GLOBAL.
Nothing works. Do you have any solution? Flash a different rom on it or something?
The phone is single sim, in Romania they sell the dual sim version
Thank you
The F926U supports these 5G bands:
SA/NSA/Sub6/mmWave (2, 5, 25, 41, 66, 71, 260, 261)
What 5G bands does your provider use?

Thanks for the tip. I will probably do the same if there is no other way.
it is possible the software installed on it is not playing nice with the carrier in your region.
for example. In the US, each carrier decides which version of SW update to release to their customer, but if a user brings their own device that was with another carrier hence has a different software version than what is being used for the new carrier... the phone tends to have issues or not be able to update and such.
Other possibility is that the region you are in doesn't use the band that the phone supports (but this might be less likely in my opinion, but I'm no professional nor do I have experience with overseas inter-usability so I may be wrong).

Hi, I have an dual sim card tray in my unlocked NA model, the same model you are referring to. i bought it (dual sim tray)off of Amazon from a link someone posted quite a while back when android 12 was first coming out. There was a thread here with the info at the time. I haven't ever got to use the other sim because at the time they had a few uncertainties. I'm still on a android 11 based custom ROM.

No, even if it WAS flashed to global, I would have to use the T-Mobile msm, which I don't need or use. Also, don't have radio issues using custom ROMs like T-Mobile users have.

No, LE2115 and LE2125 are both single SIM. In fact the T-Mobile LE2127 is a dual SIM device, one of the reasons people were buying it, but it's totally unstable, as it ships with a single SIM tray and the second is disabled.
I received a couple days ago from Amazon my order for OnePlus 9 Pro 5G LE2123 Dual SIM 12GB+256GB EU/UK Model Global ROM Factory Unlocked International Version. After setting it up and done migrating all my files from my OnePlus 8 Pro Model IN 2025 Dual Sim, I am surprised to see that the item I received is the Model LE2125 which is confirmed Dual Sim.
My previous research all said that Model LE2125 is only Single SIM, but here is my newly delivered Model LE2125 and it is indeed Dual SIM and both SIM cards are confirmed working. Can anyone enlighten or confirm that LE2125 is actually not Single SIM?
My primary TMobile card on Sim 1 is working fine and picking up 5G, while my secondary international roaming card on Sim 2 is also working.
Your feedback and input will be appreciated. Thank you much.

So, LE2125 is single sim ONLY. I know because I bought a dual sim tray and put 2 active T-Mobile sims in it and only 1 showed up.
But mine is LE2125 and I was surprised to see that it is in fact DUAL SIM, with dual sim tray and both sim cards are working (I put in my primary US T-Mobile sim in tray 1 and my international roaming sim card in tray 2). I bought the device from Amazon Marketplace used or refurbished.
Please see the 3 screenshots I posted showing the ModeLE2125 with 2 Sims and 2 IMEIs in device settings.

I think your software may be LE2125 but its either T-Mobile hardware or EU hardware.
Thank you for your kind observation. But all I can say is that this LE2125 is DUAL SIM with dual sim tray with 2 sim cards working (even my international roaming sim card on sim 2 receives my multiple test sms mesages sent from my US Tmobile number). So, as a hardware this LE2125 is working fine. As far as its sotware is concerned, it's already beyond me how it got into the device.
Thank you anyway for your input.

What I am meaning is, you phone might actually be LE2123 or LE2127 with north American OOS showing LE2125. Software is not hardware specific. Some ROMs will change your model number
Thank you so much for this info, that software is not hardware specific. This info is very new to me as I thought all along that frequency bands on a device is dictated by the physical hardware itself and not assigned via mere software configuration.

It's not the bands that are being spoken of, it's the hardware model shown in the settings. If you have a full conversion device, it's possible to convert from, say, LE2127 T-Mobile to show LE2125 US unlocked instead.
This is likely what happened because T-Mobile devices sell for cheap because nobody wants to deal with the headaches from them.
Thank you for this valuable information. I thought specific device models made for let's say, Europe, China, US have the radio hardware baked in with specific 5G or 4G LTE bands that work in specific regional markets.

They DO have this. Changing your model number with software won't change the bands that are supported, it just can change the model number (which is incredibly stupid as it makes it easy for people to sell a phone as something that it's not).
Wow, thank you again. Yes, it looks like it borders on deceitful practice although it is not illegal.
if u wanna be absolutely sure which model u're getting, check the IMEI number against online database.
it will show u exact model.
