Does anybody know if the x55 modem in the Poco F2 Pro is capable of providing 5g and 4g on two sims simultaneous?
Just wondering if not having it is a hardware or software limitation, Before I bought my F2 Pro I didnt read or watch any reviews that pointed out this drawback.
In the instruction manual it is also written that with an update Xiaomi would have added the dualsim with a sim in 5G but have not yet done so after a year. It's a shame, I will never buy a Xiaomi smartphone again!

I'm very confused about this point. I'm guessing the answer is NO because I'm sure it would be displayed pretty prominently on the official OnePlus website if it was 5G compatible. I thought that the OnePlus 7 Pro was going to have 5G included and the OnePlus 7 wasn't going to have the 5G?
Can someone please clarify this
No, it doesn't have 5G support, there will be another version of the 7 Pro released later this year (possibly only in selected markets) that will have a 5G modem.

Ok thanks. I'm definitely NOT buying this phone then. I'm good with my Note 9 for a bit longer then.

FWIW, judging by the LTE roll-out, by the time 5G hits NYC, 1+8 or 1+9 might be out already...

No clue and I don't really care. As duncanbyy said: If you buy a 5G phone now, you'll probably want to buy a new phone again before 5G actually becomes viable. Instead, it's probably going to have worse battery life because the 5G modem couldn't be integrated in the Snapdragon 855 SoC but is an extra chip...
The 5G variant should be released around the time that the 7T would have been released, but there won't be a 7T. T-Mobile's 5G launch should be some time this fall. For anyone wanting a OnePlus 5G device, the 7 and 7 Pro are not it.

exactly this. no reason to hold out. no 5g infrastructure around me even. by the time that comes - or if - I'll be getting a new phone. no doubt. but that's easy due to my region.
then now that we are talking about 5G models
can anybody tell me why some phones are called GM1915 an some GM1917
Yes OnePlus team claims it'll support 5G

I have asked the rep from OnePlus if this will support 5G and he said yes it will there isn't a different device you need to get. The pro is 5G capable and this is confirmed.

Ok, now I'm confused. If this phone is 5G capable then I may still consider getting it.
If it's 5G capable why isn't that advertised?

Because no providers offer 5G for at least a year no matter what they claim. At&t lies. They don't deliver 5G and neither does VZW. The other two don't claim to even be working on it right now.

I'm sorry but you're the only person I have heard say that this phone is 5G capable. Every Google search shows websites stating that there will be 3 variants of this phone:
7, 7 Pro and 7 Pro 5G.
IDC if the infrastructure for 5G won't be completed for s while. I need to know if this phone is really 5G capable or not

The 5G the OnePlus 7 Pro supports is for Europe and Asia only. Not North America!
I believe this identifies the phone as either the unlocked or carrier version.

It's a firmware difference. Nothing more. The hardware is the same outside of the T-Mobile version having the second SIM tray filled in, but flashing it will enable the second SIM slot.
That is not true

There is no 5G phone specifically for any region. It will work with 5G (OnePlus 7 Pro variant) . And real 5G is not coming to TMO for years from what rumor has it. It will need to be a firmware update more than likely as the antenna in the phone are all the same! I asked the rep and he told me that it was ready for 5G. You do not wanna believe a guy that works for the company and said he goes to pop up events in cities like LA and NYC then dont. Buy something else. The rumors that they would make two different phones were incorrect. There is no such model as OnePlus 7 Pro 5G. That is because all the 7 Pros are 5G capable. So do not want to trust me, fine. Buy a crap Samsung 10+ that supposedly is 5G ready. I would bet that the antenna in it is no different than OP7Pro.
The teardowns have been definitive. There are no 5G mmwave antennas or Snapdragon X50 inside.
Is there undisclosed 3.5 GHz 5G capability? Maybe. The firmware has hints of it. But again, no identifiable hardware to use it.

Correct, OnePlus confirmed the 5G version have slightly different insides to fit the 5G modem. So standard Pro wont work with 5G.
5G is a No go with the current Pro...
I'm wondering if we can unlock additional LTE bands in k30 Pro chinese variant for people who bought the Zoom version. I read it can be done on old devices and bands are not removed by hardware, only locked. Here you can read some examples:

I hope an expert can throw some light about this and if it can be done on modern devices.
Not having band 20 on vodafone or virgin makes no difference in the U.K. This was an issue years ago as Europe only used band 20, Europe also use band 1,3 and 7 so really isn't a problem anymore. Please search what bands your country uses, it will more than likely use 20 still but the others will also be available. I'm using the zoom model.

Well, if you're living in Germany band 20 is essential. Otherwise you won't have signal on the countryside.
So I'm also quite curious about unlocking different lte bands especially on the k30 pro zoom edition.

Same applies for Netherlands unfortunately. I might just go for the global Poco F2 Pro but I kinda want the Zoom edition lol.

the above link was posted 5 years ago, I'm not an expert but I tried every means possible on the OnePlus 3t, I was also told by people that knew more about it than me that it couldn't be done.
I tried on my old galaxy S4 never been successful
Looks like it's impossible on our phones - QPST sees the phone, but can't do anything with modem memory. Maybe because it's encrypted.
I don't really need band 20, but LTE-A band 7+7 or 7+3 is very needed. In Chinese 2020 models Xiaomi cuts off CA 7+7 support for some reason. My Redmi K20 holds LTE-A CA 7+7 easily.
Hi Everyone, i bought Chinese version K30 Pro, global version model name is Poco F2 Pro
Chinese version support LTE band:B1 / B3 / B5 / B7 / B8 / B34 / B38 / B39 / B40 / B41
Global version support LTE band:1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28/38/40/41
I want to unlock LTE band 28, Is it possible unlock band 28 with the device hardware architecture?
I think this was possible on older devices but not newer ones, I could be wrong but we would really need someone to know what they're doing with the Qualcomm qpst and qxdm tools, I gave it a try and gave up. I'm pretty experienced with flashing but really didn't want to take a chance and wipe something I shouldn't.
Is this even possibile hardware-wise?
You would need the qualcomm tool for this to be able to unlock bands. As mentioned before for some older device this was possible but for even last year this wasn't available for the 855/k20 pro. So I don't think anyone should rely on this. Thats why poco f2 pro been released. I know the k30 pro zoom is better with the zoom camera but with out the right bands I would go fo the poco. I hope this helps.

depends really on the user and what camera they would prefer, telephoto or macro! The Poco does have more available LTE bands but the zoom has more for 5G. Just now though it's not an issue as all carriers I believe are using n78 for 5g. I would maybe use an app called Kimovil and type in the device and country, this will show all carriers for your country and give accurate network availability. I have the k30 pro zoom which has no band 20 for virgin media and vodafone in the U.K, however this isn't a problem as they both use bands 1 and 3 which both Poco pro 30 and k30 pro support.

Hi there, hoping someone can help with an answer;
I'm considering buying a Chinese market version of either the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro or Mi 10 Ultra but just wanted to make sure that I'll continue to get decent 4G coverage (and hopefully even 5G coverage) on Vodafone UK.
I realise the CN version of the phone doesn't support or have band 20 which from what I've googled so far is 800Mhz.
I have no idea how phone signal actually works, so with this missing band, will I still get full coverage from the remaining bands the phone does support; B1, B3 and B7?
Does it mean that with 75% of the bands, I'll only get 75% coverage? Do certain phone masts only broadcast in B20, meaning I'd get zero 4G signal if the masts my phone uses fall into that scenario?
I'm a complete Layman with all this stuff (as I'm sure you can probably tell from the above ) so was hoping someone could help me out before I commit to spending a load of money on a phone that wont work here in the UK.
Thank you.

I don't know how Vodafone compares to Three here in the uk, but I've owned quite a few Xiaomi phones , and haven't really noticed any difference in ones that have B20 or not.

Thank you for the reply,
So some of the Xiaomi phones you've had have been Chinese import ones?
And there was no difference in 4g performance Vs global Xiaomi phones? (Just asking coz global versions do have band 20 - 800Mhz)
Thanks.
Incat said:
Yes, but I'm on Three and it might be location dependent too, but I've never had a problem getting 4g on phones with no band 20.
Check what bands Vodafone use compared to Three.
You can buy a global Mi10 Pro with band 20, though the non pro seems easier to get hold of.

That's great, I'll double check the differences in bands used between Three and Vodafone.
Finding a global Mi 10 Pro has been impossible so far, but fingers crossed......
Thanks very much again, really appreciate it.
Hey, I have tried searching the internet quite extensively and would like clarification if it is possible to get the POCO X3 NFC to be compatible with LTE bands 12, 66, or 71. Some of the things I found said it was possible, but would not work if the phone did not have the right antenna, and trying would be overall harmless. However some of the other things I found said attempting it had a high chance of bricking the phone and though it might enable/unlock those bands because the processor is compatible with those bands, the phone would not actually be able to connect to the bands because the processor recognized them and then it would not have any signal. Could someone please clarify if it is possible and if it is could you explain how to enable bands safely? Thanks so much!
Sadly, I don't have an answer, just a pointer: apparently, POCO devices (or even recent comparable ones from Xiaomi, like the Redmi Note 9S/Pro) aren't listed in the database at https://willmyphonework.net/ -- you might want to submit a request through the "Device Brand not listed?" button...
