I'd like to get an S8+ to use with Project Fi. I know I can buy a Verizon version that will be unlocked and accept the SIM, but I suspect that the Sprint bands will be locked out. I've tried all the codes I know on some friends' S8s, but I cannot find the engineering menu.
My two questions are, then, if I get a Verizon version, is there a way to get into the engineering menu to check the bands? Or, if I pay full price for a Sprint version from Best Buy, will it be unlocked?
Thanks in advance!
Check out this Samsung webpage. Just go to the top to change the carrier to see the information for the other carriers.

Thanks. Any thoughts on the engineering menu access? I see bands 12 and 25 are missing.

You want to get the SM-G920I -- it has some LTE basebands that the SM-G920F does not have.

Hi,
I got SM-G9200 (Hong-kong S6 model) in south Korea.
But, I don't know the band selection method of SM-G9200, so I can not use it in Korea.
In the previous model S5(SM-G9008V) that I have, it may enter in the following way.
*#0011# -> Back -> Q -> 0000 -> UE Setting -> Protocol...
However, S6 does not operate in the above method.
Please share to me a band selection of SM-G9200 model.

My current provider is Wind Mobile, so I need a phone that works with AWS 1700/2100 (T-Mobile)
Taking a look on Samsung China's website, it seems to me that it would be supported, but would I would appreciate a second input.

Keep an eye on tmonews.com they list out when T-mobile adds specifically low band spectrum in various cities. https://www.tmonews.com/2019/08/t-mobile-deploys-low-band-lte-upgrades-hundreds-cities/

Good to know. Hope that tmo's mvnos would benefit from bands extensions as well. I'm on Mint, there are Bands 4 and 12 around here, fine outside, but I have to rely on WiFi at home, the cell signal inside is weak so, maybe lower frequency would help with that.
Anyone know if band 71 is available on exy international?
Reading some conflicting confusing information.
What are the technical differences between the S908E/DS and the S9080?
I'm looking for this Information as well!
The only one i found is, that the S908E have eSim Support and the S9080 not!

If that is correct then 908e/ds has bands
17
34
N2
N12
N20
N25
N77
N66
And supposedly esim capability.
9080 has band N79 and no esim maybe?
S908E is more compatible with all networks across Europe, Asia & Africa including esim , better carrier aggregation & better 5g & Vo5g support. & supports way more languages
