Has anyone tried using Chinese GM1910 model on EE 5G bands ?
As I understand EE uses n78 band, but I dont see it as advertised in GM1910 specs.
Thats a 4G phone right? so how would it support 5G Bands?

5G model has a separate modem X50 from Qualcomm for 5G currently all 5G enabled devices need this modem, So basically you need an 5G model from EE to use it.

I purchased a mate 30 pro 5G. However, after doing a bit of research it looks like China and Europe have chosen to use different 5g bands than the US. According to the phone spec sheet, it doesn't look like the phone is compatible with US 5Gg bands. Am I interpreting things incorrectly?

usa has poor networks they dont have variety of bands only one .. we in eu has more 2 or 3
I don't think any of the Chinese 5G bands of the mate 30 pro are compatible with any 5G USA frequency. Unfortunately you paid a premium for not much.

I tried to find info on the difference between lio-tl00 and lio-an00 both Chinese versions...
Any idea which one is more suitable for Europe.
Thanks

That's what it looks like, but I get 5g sometimes with AT&T. Some of their mid and low bands are compatible. I think more bands are opening up in the US so who knows what eventually will happen. I don't believe Huawei has launched the European version yet. They were waiting to see if the ban would be lifted so they could launch with Google play. Check the bands on gsmarena they have both models listed and the bands for each.

If you're referring to the 5G radio aspect and compatibility then according to gsm arena they all have the same frequencies.
Personally, if I were you I'd cross reference lio-an00 and lio-tl00 5g radio specs from an official Huawei website and compare it to what my countries 5G network has. That way you'd be 100% sure.

Thanks, I am going to pick up Chinese version 5G....
I have the 5G version in Spain and it works correctly although my operator Movistar has not yet deployed the 5G network in my city.
Has dual SIM.
I'm tempted to buy and import to UK. However, not sure:
1) If Wifi calling works (I've seen online some short-codes to input into dialler). Anyone know if these work (specifically 3 UK)
2) Situation re. network. Obviously I'm pretty sure 4g will be OK but not sure on 5g (Currently 3 UK and Virgin UK/EE/Vodafone)
Any suggestions?

I'm using on Vodafone not the best network, LTE would be more of a problem with no band 20, 5g would be fine, I haven't been to 5g area to test other people in Europe have no problems with 5g
Xioami explained that the china modem and bands are quite different from Europe. With 4G you won't have B20 band and 5G antenna works differently (that's why in europe it's not dual sim).

I have had china version to test before the global.
5G in Italy didn't work very good in the china Mi 10 pro. I mean that the global version has a 25% more speed.

Is that even possible, or lockdown and heavy usage at the time of testing, side by side?
My Chinese version works fine on 5G in UK. Not sure about Italy but in UK we only use N78 5G band and the mi 10 Chinese version has that and several other bands so I'm not sure what you mean by a 25% difference in speed?
Hi team,
It seems OnePlus is showing different frequencies on the 5G band for phones sold in China (IN2010) and Europe (IN2013).
IN2010: Bands 41, 78 & 79
IN2013: Bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78.
Does anyone who if a Chinese phone originally intended for IN2010 bands are flashed the international ROM IN21BA, are the other bands accessible in Europe . Other bands being, 1,3,7,28 ect.
Or is there a hardware lock?
It's technically programmed into NVRAM, but the publicly found version of QPST doesn't support this device, so I don't know of a way to modify the bands.
1,3,7,28 and 20 are 4g LTE bands in France, so Europe. It's not 5g bands
These bands are presents on the IN2010 model too

Shame, when Europe starts using band 28 on 5G, the Chinese imported phone won't support this band then.
Also i recommend compare 4G and 5G Combinations between China and Europe variant:

Europe: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2013

In France B28 used for 4G LTE for now but i think they will transfer it to 5G like other countries. That will be low band 5G for many countries to build coverage.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G bought from the US (SM-N986U1) and I am currently in the Philippines. Is there any way I can make the 5G work here? If currently there is no way, would you think there will be in the near future?
Depends if the 5g bands are the same in both countries (and operators), you'd need to check that.
You could try the whitelisting method used on the Hong Kong variants which allows 5g use in Europe. Google it.
This is interesting part. I've been thinking about this not long time ago. My idea is as HK variant has same chipset etc, except storage with USA variant. So I believe it possible in some way to enable hidden or locked 5G bands on USA variant.
Not possible make to work because it do not support bands used bands and combinations used in Philippines: https://cacombos.com/device/SM-N986U

Thanks for the replies. I already sold my US variant and bought a brand new HK version. So far benefitting with the dual sim.

hi mate just for knowing, i had this idea to import myself a broken note 20 ultra 5g US variant, you said that the 5G is not working. Did the 4g,3g or 2g worked for you? im from italy and i found on ebay a good priced phone, but now im scared that the network will not work for me. i found the philippines band chart with all the frequencies and bands. like in italy, only one/two of them are supported and i would like to know if the network was working.

Hey there. Yes. My former Note 20 Ultra 5G US variant's 4G is working in the Philippines.
I recommend you get also the Hong Kong (Snapdragon) variant instead, as I have read somewhere that HK variant's 5G could work in the UK.

Well this answers my question. I recently bought a US version note 20 ultra 5g and having trouble activating the 5g on my phone which seems to be impossible. I should have bought a snapdragon hk version instead then. This is very frustrating cause I'm really enjoying the benefits of a Note phone.
Hi there, I have a new S22 ultra SM-908E but the region is for Latin America and other places in Europe. Everything works except 5G. Is there something I can do to fix this?
I look around for SM-S908E firmware with CSC TMB but there is none. I have Odin and tried different versions for the same model but no luck with 5g. I did this with an S21 ultra and 5g light up once I was able ti find the correct firmware for usa.
Thanks in advance..
There is no TMB CSC because no US carrier carries the SM-S908E. There is zero US firmware for that model.
What carrier? If T-Mobile you dont have 5G because its missing T-Mobile's 5G bands. Most specifically n71. It does support n41 on paper but I wouldnt count on that actually working.
Its also missing LTE band 71 for T-Mobile which for my area as an example mean you'd have no service while everyone around you would.

I got 4g and 4g+, when I swap phones with the s21 ultra it goes straight to 5G/UC.

Sorry to tell you but S908E doesn't have 5G mmWave. You can only use 5G DSS. USA models has mmWave.

Hi Sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm in Canada and I have the same issue with no 5G on my 908E. When you say that there's no 5G mmWave, can't it use DSS to get 5g instead? If it can shouldn't it still be able to catch 5g that way?
TIA

Same issue here. No 5G on Telus, Bell or Rogers. I double checked the bands and the S908E should be compatible.
Did you find out what the problem was? Thanks
Same here on ATT and TMobile.. on att 5g bands are 5 and 77, both supported by s908e
On TMobile the 5g bands are 41 and 71, the phone supports 41 but not 71.. obviously no mmWave, but I should still be getting "low" or "mid" 5g, but I only get 4g/lte..
I have this app "net monster" that says 5g nsa is available at my location, but unable to connect
Anyone find any solutions?

As I know T-Mobile use B2, B4 and B5 for its 4G network.
Due to the NSA type, the phone needs to get information via 4G and it looks like S908E doesn't have these Combo.
S908E for n41 Combo: B1 B3 B8 B20 (information from https://cacombos.com/device/SM-S908E )
So this may be the cause that S908E cannot get 5G access via B2 B4 B5 ?

Interesting enough when I go down to the states and roam down there, I get 5G... now I'm not sure which provider I connect to but it shows 5G on my phone... (first time it showed up I didn't even know what it was because I've never seen the icon before lol)
