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 !

Hello everyone,
Anyone here can share your experience with Verizon on this phone?
I'm with ATT and signal not very good in my area,,i'm sure doesn't have to do with phone since it was always crappy signal where i'm at Gig Harbor WA. Also does anyone with Verizon used ESIM dual phone numbers with this Galaxy Z FOLD 2 enabled?
Thanks in advance! LOVE THE PHONE!
I am using it on Verizon. I have no problems so far, though I have been using it for less than 24 hours. I am getting about the same clarity as I had with my previous fold. Over all it is good. I have had a few blips of poor wireless connectivity in my house, but it might be the phone just connecting to new networks.

I have no idea. Sorry. That sounds like the type of thing that only Samsung will be able to answer. Good luck.
I've been using the fold 2 on Verizon since it release. I'm currently waiting for the update from Verizon for them to enable Esim. I heard its coming Thanksgiving.
I'm using the unlocked version on Verizon. No issues.
I'm on verizon, no problems except the visual voicemail is very buggy. Waiting for the 5G UW update. Who knows when that is coming ?
Verizon has eSIM.

Fold2 is capable of 5G mmW not the UW they just rolled out. Not sure if Fold2 has the UW hardware or just needs software update.

Oh nice to know so it must be the fake 5G UW I've been using for a month.

Philadelphia. Allot of cities should have 5G deployed already. Just not mmWaves. 5G UW is low bandwidth. 5G UWB is mmWaves. If I got them correctly.
5g UWB is already available on Fold 2 out of the box. I assume you mean low band 5g. For that you need to wait for firmware update to enable low band 5g from Verizon

Thats 100% correct. Maybe at his location or city Verizon didn't deployed 5G low bandwidth. Maybe thats why.

Do you need a new SIM for 5G UW? I pulled my SIM from my Pixel 2 XL and threw it into my unlocked z fold 2 and have yet to see 5G UW in my status bar. Thanks

You need a 5g sim for mmWave not for the low band 5g.
Hello i have poco f2 pro with x55 modem. But in this modem locked all 5g bands. Works only n77, n78 sub6. Maybe posible unlock 5g band n28 700mhz like this tutorial? https://www.google.com/amp/s/mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/?amp Or need change x55 modem chip from another phone like mi 10t pro and solder?

3500mhz range of 1km max or even less with high speed and are very sensitive to obstacles. I did the test next to a 3500mhz the speed drops to 800m.
700mhz carries much further but with speeds often lower than 4G.
the 5g icon is displayed because you have chosen 5g network by preference even if you are on 4g. (Xiaomi ).
Given the lack of 5g antenna nearby I leave it in 4g preferred and I am in 4g+ with very good speed.

Don't bother with that, 5g 700mhz offers lower speeds than 4g 4g+.
Its only advantage is that range.

I have successfully latched on to both Jio 5g and Airtel 5g using Network Signal Guru app (rooting required).
Below are the requirements.
1.
Jio sim with true 5g welcome offer and also proper 5g signals at your location (you can use speedtest.net application to know the 5g signals availability).
(OR)
AIRTEL SIM
2. Nsg app.
3. Open NSG and select respective sim and then go to Band Selection. Change the value from AUTOMATIC to NR/LTE
4. Restart
Update 1(9 Jan 2023) - Airtel has still not Whitelisted Pixel devices. So network reset(reset wifi , Bluetooth and network option in settings) is required everytime you restart your device.
Update 2 (15 Jan 2023) - Latest qpr2 beta(9 Jan 2023) build enabled 5g feature. So root is no more required.
Able to latch onto 3500Mhz at different location.
Working fine with Airtel 5g NSA as well.
Hello, I have Pixel 6a Jan updated, rooted with Jio 5G sim enabled 5G offer.
But even after following your instructions, phone refuses to connect to 5G.
@sampathkumar2811
The same sim shows 5G in iPhone 13 Pro Max at same location and speedtest gives 700-900 Mbps which means I am in a strong network area.

When we select NR/LTE, it lists all LTE bands and I select LTE_ALL (NRBand:TBD)
Reboot
Still on LTE.
Basically forcing NR Only mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* does absolutely nothing.
Indian Pixel 6a model number: GX7AS
Under Sim, my Operator settings version is dated 2022-08-13

4636 menu won't work anything for now.
Selecting NR combo within NSG only works and you have selected properly.
Contact me on telegram so that we can check further with screen recording.

I'm too having same operator version. No issues with that.
Hey, i got operator version updated to 08/12/2022, on QPR2 BETA 2 . As i have pixel 6 unable to connect 5g, but i got option in setting 5G/LTE/3G. So i think if you update 6a to Beta, 5g might work without root.

Mine connects to 5G as I have the 5G Trial offer activated on my number. However, the 5G signal is less than half and speedtest does not go over 64kbps. Like Jio throttling my device via IMEI block or my Pixel 6a is busted with internal antenna problem. So 5G is unusable on my 6a (USA model but model number is same as Indian)
4G reception is absolutely fine.

My telegram is blocked because I requested too many OTPs. lol
My friend's 6A also has this issue of not connecting to n78 band. His phone connected to only 700mhz and had pathetic speeds.
My sim isnt activated yet and is not working. For Airtel on Pixel 6 it connects to 5G outside home and the maximum speed I got was 200Mbps.

Same here on US Pixel 6a model no. GX7AS which is same model number sold in India.
I hope it's just a beta issue because I purchased this for just 20k from OLX.
I loved Pixel 6a for following 2 reasons:
1. Connects at 2400 Mbps on my home wifi and so I am able to max out of my full gigabit connection. All other expensive phones like iPhone, Samsung reach 500-600 Mbps on Wifi only.
2. USB-C with 3.1 speeds.
Lot of pixel 6 users reported that 5g is working fine. If you are getting 64kbps only then raise a issue with Jio. It must be the problem with them. Certain BTS/band of Jio is having issues because they are in beta. Don't compare with other mobiles and comment here at all.

Who is comparing with other models? I spoke with Jio engineer and according to their system my Pixel 6a should be working fine with latest beta. Unfortunately it isn’t. Only connects to n28 (700Mhz) band with -110dbm signal strength with barely any data speed. Speedtest fails but web pages open excruciating slow.
I am even unable to root the latest beta. The boot.img when patched with latest magisk and flashed using fastboot does nothing.
