Hi, Snapdragon chips sometimes have support for FM radio. Can I enable it for the S21 FE?
According to phonedb.net, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G does not have a radio module.

There is a recent article from Androidcentral that indicates that the Galaxy S9 variant with the Snapdragon 845 is faster than the variant with the Exynos 9810.
https://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-tested-exynos-9810-vs-snapdragon-845
Can anyone confirm if the results are correct?
Based on this feedback and without concern over supported base-bands, I am wondering if there is any other other reason to choose an Exynos variant over a Snapdragon variant.
Would it be safe to assume that the G9650 Dual Sim variant (I think from China or Korea) would be the best option? (Its also considerably cheaper than the G965FD)
That does seem to be the case.
I've seen some real world speed test videos and they're neck and neck.
The Exynos isn't locked either and supports faster LTE. I'd probably go SD845 if you could but if you want to tweak the phone or care about sound quality the Exynos 9810 is the way to go.
I just pre-ordered the AT&T note 10 5g the specs looks pretty good, snapdragon 855+,12gb ram, 2nd generation SDX55 modem that’s going to be paired with the 2020 SD865 chip. is anyone else picking this up?
S20 and s20+ LTE models don't have the 5G bands in them so its impossible to get 5G on those, but however, All the s20 ultras, 5G or LTE have the 5G bands, but its disabled via software on the LTE one, is it possible to enable 5G somehow on them?
Yes they may have the bands, but I'm pretty sure that they are missing the physical antennas required for 5g to work

The Snapdragon x50 modem is separate from the SD 865 SOC so even though it might appear on the software the phisical component is not present.

Does the same go for the exynos model?
Cause thats the one i have, i think i heard somewhere that the LTE s20 ultra has the bands and the phyisical components required but its disabled via software in LTE countries.

The Exynos modem 5123 is also a separate module so the same should apply.

I purchased s20 ultra in India. I thought this a 5g phone but it shows only LTE. Paying so much money for a 4g phone is a big blow for anyone but I think that our xda develpers can enable the 5g in s20 ultra. Please do something to make it work on 5g network.
Hi!
Samsung Galaxy S22 (exynos) has dual band gps support?
GpsTest doesn't show me L5 signal.
I have poor signal, worst than my last OnePlus 8T.
Thank you!
The S22U (exy) has dual band support, the S22 has the same SOC, therefore I would expect it to receive L5. Btw. the Note 10 and S20 exy versions also have dual band support, so it would be strange if Samsung had removed it only on the S22.
Capture with S22 exynos and my Oneplus 8T… Maybe S22 has not able the feature and it’s enabled on S22 ultra?
Have you figured out anything?
Really no dual band?

What kind of problem do you mean? A standard user would not recognize if dual band works or not.

on s22 regular snapdragon, do not see L5 as well
Hm, if Exy and SD are affected, then maybe a hardware antenna for the 2nd frequency is missing?
My S22 Plus (EU version SM-S906B/DS) has L1/L5 as far as I can tell. I noticed in the GPS status app before as it counts the dual band double per satellite (so 2x visibile satellites). I installed the latest Android 13.0/5.0 update before running GPSTest, but I think it already was working like this before.
Sincerely,
Wim

It looks like only the S22 has no dual band. The Plus and Ultra have.
And carrier phase is only supported by the Exynos models and not by the Snapdragon ones.
I just bought a S20 FE 5G with a Snapdragon 865 chipset.
As there aren't any real custom ROMs for this device yet, is there a chance that the ROMs for the Snapdragon-version of the S20 run on the S20 FE 5G as well?
Does anyone make custom rom for s20 5G ? boring
