Hello, I would like to purchase a Oneplus 8T KB2000 CN version instead of a KB2003 Global. I would like to know if there are really differences or not? Certainly the b28 frequency does not work? Do you think it can be activated and that it's just a matter of rom between CN and Global?
Thank you so much.
You can have some issues with 5G in NSA mode because of differences in hardware-coded band anchoring for DSS. You should check at cacombos.com if your device will be supporting your mobile plan operator's 4G/5G combos.
If your carrier has 5G SA I think there's no need to worry.

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.
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:
China: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2010
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 bought oneplus 8t from India and using it in Thailand. Thailand has 5g coverage all over but bands are different. how can i add support of bands in Oneplus8t. please guide
IDK wht they use in Thailand. Maybe you can software unlock it, but you can't add bands that the hardware doesn't support. Try installing the global or eu rom on your phone.

In Thailand AIS Operator uses N41 Band for 5G . the specs of Indian version of oneplus 8t doesnt support that. I tried after installing global Rom as well. it still doesnt support 5G . Is there anyway to manipulate hardware to support that.
Anyone has any suggestions?
usually you can't unlock extra bands if the chipset doesn't support. If the chipset did support it, then it would have worked when you installed the EU rom.
As far as I know you can't unlock/change the bands your device support in any way. Not even by flashing another rom, it is defined on hardware level somewhere. All you can do is to buy a different model of the oneplus 8T that support the bands you want.
Maybe you can try to research the qualcom hack on the oneplus one. It probably won't work, but it might be an idea to start with to unlock extra bands that are hardware locked.
It's not a frequency locked... This B41 is NOT included in your model, so you can do nothing, just by a new 8T global if you want absolutely using 5G. Be careful when you purchase a phone on an another country, you can encounter warrantly problem, frequency compatibility problem and you don't have support.
Technically the Qualcomm modem in the 8T supports all of these bands. However, it's flashed at a hardware level you won't have access to. Sorry, but this is the manufacturer's way of keeping bands they are not authorized to use (device regulations cost money in each country) disabled in the hands of an end-user.
iphone usually supports all the bands everywhere ..even samsung has support to most of the bands... how come a company like oneplus doing so?
I bought a Samsung A42 5G from Rakuten. It is a 8Gb RAM version, model SM-A4260.
I live in France, and I use Prixtel MVO with the Orange network (3500Mhz antenna for 5G already open where I live).
5G is not working, even if the model I use has the good 5G bands:
Network: 5G: n1/n3/n5/n7/n8/n28/n40/n41/n78/n79 / (France is using n3, n28 and n78 right now).
Is it possible that it does not work because it is not the SM-A426B european model ? Software volontary limitation ?
4G LTE bands work perfectly...
Any idea to solve my problem ?

Do you think it is possible to flash the official international ROM of the SM-A426B on this Asian SM-A4260 version ?
The hardware seems the same...
