Hi All, I have searched and can't find an answer.
I bought a Poco F2 Pro as it was advertised as dual sim and 5g, now I have a 5g enabled sim I thought great! but I cant use 5g and dual sim at the same time........... not great.
Is this a hardware limitation or software? thanks

well thats rather naughty isnt it!! I always liked Xiaomi on my second phone but this will make me think twice about buying their products now!
In the instruction manual it is also written that with an update they 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 have emailed Xiaomi UK and asked them, I don't hold out any hope for an actual response passed the one I have already that says they are waiting to hear back from that department.

I think Xiaomi has abandoned our smartphone ...
The Poco F2 Pro has great potential but is very limited, even the 5G bands are limited compared to new cheap smartphones such as the Poco F3.
Too bad it is not possible to unlock the modem ...

hy on weekly EU, you can use 5G on SIM 1 and activate SIM 2 with option 4G (LTE) by using VoLTE with SIM 1to switch automatly to 4G SIM2 at the same time.

I read it but I didn't get it well enough. 5G is used for only one SIM as far as I understand. I am asking that if SIM 1 is empy, can I use SIM 2 for 5G connection?

Why use sim port 2 if sim port 1 is empty?
But yes you can use sim port 2 with 5G.

I have two sims in the Poco F2 Pro and I am using xiaomi.eu
I use the second sim for data and the second sim gives me 5G among the preferred networks while the first sim does not.
So I think 5G is usable among the preferred networks based on which sim you use for the data.

Hi guys I have Note20 Ultra 5G Snapdragon version SM-N9860
And the 5G is working fine in the slot 2 but if I add another SIM in slot 1 the 5G disappear is there any way to make the 5G working if I am using 2 SIM in the same time
By the way
The exynos phones can do it without problem my brother using S20 Ultra and I tried to put 2 SIM inside the phone and I get 5G without any problem
make sim in slot 2 default sim for data/calls/sms
or whichever slot has 5g sim in it
Guess it's a Snapdragon thing since OP 8 Pro wouldn't let me use 5G while 2 SIM cards were active. Android 11 should bring support for it.
Like you said, Exynos allows it already.

Ah, yeah, that's the carriers behind that - cuts into their roaming business. Same here in Canada - which is why I ordered the SM-N9860. I have an SM-G9650 (LATAM S9+ DS) now, and can't see myself ever going back to single SIM.

Not necessarily - for example, there is still some question as to whether we can get 5G to work or not (it only has three 5G bands). That doesn't matter so much to me though - it has all the 4G bands I need, and it is Snapdragon, dual-SIM with 256GB of storage. You'd have to compare the bands it has to what you want/need for your carrier. There's a whole thread on it here if you want to check it out.

I ordered mine from PDAPlaza up here in Montreal - but there are several sellers on EBay, and the European guys got theirs from a distributor called Wondamobile. Your best bet is probably EBay, but there are lots of sources for these gray-market phones. Bear in mind it won't have a warranty in the US however - you'd have to go through the seller for warranty service.

Hi..I am in the UK and using dual SIM in my exynos N20U. Actually both of my SIMS are 5G and if i am in 5G area the Sim is use for mobile data ways connects to 5G. So it shouldn't be an issue for SD variant also..

Yes the official version in my country is exynos and I tried the exynos version of S20U with 2 SIM cards and it is working fine, but I bought the HK Snapdragon version of N20U but unfortunately if I insert 2 SIM cards the 5G disappear
I've got an exynos dual sim version and 5g works for me when I've both sims installed, but only on one sim at a time. See the screenshot in the link.

When 5g is enabled, phone is only single sim and sim1or2 doesn't really matter.
Yes poco said that when you use 5G phone will be single sim till they will give update that will make 1 sim 5G and other will be 4G
You just have to read the user guide.........
About Dual SIM:
• Supports Dual SIM cards with no carrier restrictions, single 5G or dual 4G
connectivity ①
• Supports Dual Nano-SIM card slots, either card can be set as the primary
card
• Supports single SIM 5G/4G+/4G/3G/2G
• Supports Dual SIM 4G+/4G/3G/2G
• Supports Dual SIM VoLTE HD calling ②
Note ①: 5G support depends on the local telecom operator’s network; if
the primary card 5G is enabled, the secondary card will not be available;
subsequent software upgrades will include support for primary 5G and
secondary 4G/3G/2G card mode function in dual-card situations.
Note ②: VoLTE service availability depends on the local telecom operator’s
network and service deployment
Not so complicate....
So according to the user manual dual sim support while 5g enabled is coming with a future update? the phone is five months old, did the promised update come through yet? are all other ROMs available for this device have the same issue?
The promised update is yet to come .

The phone was launched 5 months ago but probably due to the pandemic there is surprisingly little development and discussion from the community's side. Barely 4 roms.
I have been waiting 2 months now to upgrade because there is no way I ever use MIUI.
Last week LineageOS was released, but it's Android 10, and only initial build.
I will probably wait or lineageOS 18 before I buy this phone, but this means waiting few months the way things are going.
Dont forget that very few people use dual sim on their phone... Not a priority to fix ;o)

Hello
Why Poco F2 pro have only activate 1 SIM for 5G?
why is it not possible to use SIM 1 with 5G and SIM 2 with no internet or 4G (3G) at the same time?
I only want to be able to make calls on Sim 2 and Internet on SIM 1 with 5G...
can't the Sapdragon 865?
does this come with a later update?
it works now on the Poco F1 ... Sim 1 with 4G and Sim 2 without or with 4G at the same time.
Kind regards

Not a fix cause it's not a bug.
It's in the specifications from the beginning, and inside the manual (first pages).
They will provide a update but maybe not...
As we all bought the phone knowing that, they don't have to speed up to provide a 'fix'

Hi,
I am currently using an u.s.a variant s22 ultra on xaa csc....I own a jio Sim card and jio 5g services are available in my city but my s22 ultra is not getting 5g connection....previously I owned an airplane Sim card and 5g was working on airtel but not on jio Sim card.
I tried unlocking all the bands using *#73# code but 5g is not working for jio sim...
I want to know is there any band lock problem for u.s.a variant that my 5g on jio is not working?

Are you asking if it worked or telling that this solution has worked for you.
Am asking whether it worked or not
Ok update.
I tried my sim on a mi11t. And i13 mini.
Welcome offer will get activated after confirmation messages come. But doesn't activate yet.
Then i tried an already activated 5g sim in my u1. Jio. 200mbps. So confirmation that it supports jio 5g. Just activation process we need to crack.
So i think i would need a day or 2 with the 5g phone to activate and then wait for the signal on that device. Then swap to this.
For now i don't hv another 5g device. So nothing much i can do . Except wait.
Regards
Santa
I have inserted my jio sim in my nothing phone 1 today trying the same trick to unlock the welcome offer....now lets see after 48 hours what will happen
