This main forum, as out description,addresses the Reno3 Pro Indian version with Helio P95 CPU, ⁸GB RAM and 128/256GB ROM.
There's also a Snapdragon 765 variant with Max 12GB RAM and different camera setup available, in Asia with 5G, in Europe 4G only.
Shall this forum cover all variants?
I would appreciate if it could. I own the 4G variant with Snap 765 5G, but the 5G is blocked in this phone (model CPH2009). Wondering if there is any possibility to somehow unlock it to have the 5G running.
I own the same model, bought it in Austria, but it is variant from Poland.
Firmware is the same for Find X2 Neo and Reno 3 Pro, I downloaded it from different sites and always worked OK
Currently I see no advantage of 5G, just consumes more energy, but would be nichte if 5G would be unlocked.
What I heared is, that Find X2 neo also has 5G disabled and will be enabled in future versions.

I believe the 10 Pro is 5G compatible (the 10 [non-Pro] is not). I think the U.S. 10 Pro does not have 5G enabled. Does anyone know if the U.S. 10 Pro can have its 5G capability enabled by a software update (when 5G is more available and 5G SIMs are more available)? Thanks.
Why do you think so? The Snapdragon 855 does NOT! have an integrated 5g Modem, its additionally.
The 5g device has physically different hardware. It's not just a software thing.
What makes you suspect otherwise?
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
Cause I bought a exynos note 20 ultra last year off amazon and it could only get to lte but not 5g and I got it to get 5g and be able to root. So I returned it and just got a snapdragon version and just lived without root which is honestly fine btw. Will the same thing happen if I buy an exynos s22 ultra? Or can the snapdragon version be rooted this time? Pls don't yell at me if this has been asked but the search bar here is confusing and I'm baked af

Well, not knowing which carrier you use, I don't know what else to say.... Perhaps take a look at the source the next time you're not "Baked AF".....
No ill will intended, but, if you give the site a good look, you'll be able to figure it out.

The most reliable way to ensure your device will support 5G is aquire your Service Provider's device.
Typically with the Exynos variants you can access root but since it's a brand new version ask a Exynos user if bootloader unlock is available in developer options. If you're going to be in US it probably won't connect.
Again typlically only the Snapdragon version from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong (SM-G9080) will offer unlocking the bootloader. If you're going to be in US it probably won't connect.
Be aware OneUI 4.1 may have eliminated bootloader unlock.

Thanks bud, what a gentleman I have tmobile in the US. So your saying if I get a tmobile exynos I can have 5g in the US no prob? And is snapdragon s22 ultra rootable or is it just the exynos version?

The T-Mobile device is a Snapdragon variant, if that's your carrier and you need 5G it's your best option. The T-Mobile device, if it's the same as it's predecessor the S21 Ultra, can't be rooted. T-Mobile only sells Snapdragon variants.
My experience with a HK s21 ultra that has the same bands as exynos s21 is that 5G doesn't work in the US asot didn't have
the key 5G bands. On TMobile it sometimes says 5G as the device has one if the bands tmob uses for 5G in the US but it's phantom, and you only get 4G.

Yep, I have the SM-G9980 on T-Mobile and Network Mode displays 5G but it never connects. For me 5G is close to useless and I'd rather not have T-mobile's bloatware and prefer the unlocked bootloader. Not to mention no long term carrier commitment if you're looking for a discount on a new device.
How different are the non-UW "kiev" and UW "kievv" variants? In particular, is the LineageOS build for "kiev" compatible with "kievv" as well? I cannot find a "kievv" build.
kievv is the retail Verizon model. They have different amounts of RAM. Verizon Kievv has 4GB of RAM, Kiev Retail Unlocked is 6GB RAM and I imagine some modem and radios are different in the firmware itself as well.
Assuming you bought your device unlocked from Best Buy or Amazon, the device is Kiev and has 6GB of RAM, and this would be the correct forum for you.
Hi folks,
I am not able to get 5G on my Samsung S22 Ultra here in India, which was imported from UK, so has the Exynos 2200 chipset. Although it supports all the 5G network bands required here, for some reason it does not switch to 5G. Is it because of any pending updates or so?
Could you guys help me out. Is there any way to unlock the device or something.
Thanks
