Hi everyone,
From my understanding, the 5G version (EE) is more expensive and has 5G, but: a) does not support dual sim, and b) receives updates much slower than both OP7Pro (4G) and OP7 (the 5G version seems to lack the camera improvements in the 4G versiom)
It seems the other 5G versions don't support dual sim as well (because of the 5G modem) but given the poor firmware update support, is it worth it to get the 5G version (esp if it will be your phone for next two years) or to just wait for 7T pro 5G (hopefully with dual sim) or for other phone manufacturers to release 5G phones with dual sim?
Thank you

No.
Not worth the money. Current 5G phones use 4G to establish network connectivity and only upload at 4G speeds.
Waste of money to get a 5G phone before 2021.
yeah waste of time. My mate has a 5g one plus 7 and hes still back on .4
Still too early for 5G...
Coming from a 5G owner, it's definitely not worth it because development is non-existent...

When we will have 5g network, yes. Now, NO !
Here some testing 5G networks in Elisa Finland network with OnePlus 7 Pro 5G: https://mt-tech.fi/elisa-5g-verkon-nopeustesteja-oneplus-7-pro-5glla/ (Finnish).
Download and Upload speed transmited over 5G network, signaling data on 4G when using Huawei equiqment.
Basically I wanted to know if someone has changed firmware on US based model to some other region and got 5G option working or not. Currently I am happy with 4G only but as T Mobile supports 5G would be nice to get 5G option.
The Xperia 5 II hardware does not support any of the bands used for 5G in the US currently. International firmware may enable 5G on the hardware, but you will not receive a 5G signal anywhere in the US. This is why Sony disabled 5G on the US model and marketed it as a 4G device.

I thought Snapdragon 865 already have 5G support inbuilt and Sony just disabled it for US variant.
Do phone need separate hardware to support specific bands?
Edit: Ah! Got it now that T Mobile's supported bands are not event part of what Global variant support.
But my other question still remains,XQ-AS62 don't have 5G on hardware or it's just software that is disabling it?
Mate I and the rest of Australia can't even get 5G on a Sony Xperia 5 ii or 1 ii handset and these models are 5G enabled.
Sony have stuffed up 5G support somehow. Lots of worldwide reports and no solutions so far.
Annoying as hell.

IDK why Sony is not enabling 5G unless it requires some special H/W (like 5G modem). AFAIK 865 has support for 5G and it has 5G modem: Overview | Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G Mobile Platform | 5G Mobile Processor | Qualcomm
Any idea when will dual sim 5G be enabled in Oneplus Nord. I lost 5G after updating to android 11 oos.
Is there any easy method to enable 5G Manually. Will i get 5G if i just flash a custom rom?
5G in UK on Three is proper hit and miss in a TV show test (Gadget Show) Nord was slowest by over 20mb in same network as other mid range 5G phone's. There is not much 5G even when in in Central London it's absolutely rubbish on 5G
Hi, I Read the Full Specs Of SD860 on their Official Site. and There is Mentioned that SD860 Supports 5G. So, My Question is " If SD860 Supports 5G, Is it Possible to Enable 5G From a Software Update or from a Custom Rom ??
I think SD 860 has Integrated 5G.
link of SD Official Site: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-855-plus-and-860-mobile-platform
5G modem required since 5G is not integrated on the chip.
No way to enable it as far as I can tell without the hardware.
POCO X3 Pro doesn't suport 5G. He simply doesn't have a modem (hardware) that supports 5G, so he cannot be enable by software.
The specs in the Qualcomm website state that, check the full specs (modem can vary)
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get 5g on my op9 ,I pay for the service and I've tried a lot of settings fiddlin ,but nothing seems to connect .maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree all together ,lots of crossed facts online about this .Is it possible ?
What service do you have?
I have OP9 5g on TMobile.. 5g works for me
5G works for me also on mine..
LE2110 11.2.7.7DA Chinese Model

Go into dialer settings #*#*4636*#*# phone info and make sure Nr is selected
AT&T doesn't have the OP9 as a certified phone on their network. There is no way around this, either. I've tried everything and even selecting NR doesn't yield 5G on the device. It has something to do with the bands AT&T users for 5G.
Do you get the 5G symbol or does it just stay on LTE?
You might be able to change "carrier_policy" using the Qualcomm .exe and QTSP .exe on the computer.
I have done it on other phones. there's a guide for it....

You will not get 5G on ATT with this phone. Blame ATT.

This right here. As a former AT&T employee (corporate office, not retail level), I can tell you that it is most likely that the handset does not use the same 5G bands as AT&T.
AT&T primarily uses the n260 band (39GHz mmWave) and the Global OnePlus 9 does not use that band. In fact, none of the models of OnePlus 9 use n260. Now, from what I understand, AT&T *does* provide low-band n5 service in some areas so it IS possible that some users may report having 5G service on their OP9, but it's purely because they're in a low-band n5 area and as soon as they move into a more populated area where it switches to n260Go to and see,their phone will drop back to LTE.
What I can tell you from my real world experience is that 5G is really nothing to write home about. I live in one of the largest markets in the US and 5G is really not any faster than LTE most of the time. In some cases, it's actually SLOWER.

The LE2115 OnePlus 9 has AT&T's low band and C-Band 5G bands, with no mmWave, the LE2125 9 Pro has all of AT&T's 5G bands yet AT&T does not want to whitelist it for 5G access on their network. Verizon certified it for their 5G (OnePlus 9, nationwide 5G, and you can use QPST to enable C-Band on the 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, nationwide 5G, you can use QPST to enable C-Band on the 9 Pro, and mmWave), why can't AT&T?
