I recently managed to get a Tab S6 5G (rare as only launched in Korea) for use in the UK.
I had checked previously that the S6 5G used N78 SA/NSA according to GSMarena specs.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G - Full tablet specifications
www.gsmarena.com
In the UK I use Vodafone, which supports the N78 band for 5G according to its Wikipedia page
Vodafone UK - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Now while the tablet will work with LTE (but not VoLTE) I can't get it to see a 5G connection.
I'm positive this is a limitation of my knowledge in this area so could use some detailed help in understanding what the issues may be and is there any way to address them.
If I can't use Vodafone is there another UK carrier that may work?

Hello,
I am looking to buy an unlocked S21+ from Samsung Canada store (SM-G996W) and I checked here :
S21+ Differences that the following 5G bands: n2, n41, n66, n71 are the ones supported by the Candian model so my question is:
Is it possible to change the supported bands? For example, if I travel to a country where the used 5G band is the n28, will the S21+ support this band. If so, how please?
Btw, I have seen some users changing Network bands on Samsung devices without root so I want to make sure that it works with the 5G bands especially from someone who have a S21+ please?
Here is the link of the short tutorial: Un/Locking LTE Bands on Samsung I am talking about.
Thanks for your help

AFAIK this 5G bands are hardware related, not software related. So no "unlocking" in this case.
Hello, I have the Note 20 Ultra N986B / DS model
I wanted to know if that model is the one sold in my country, Spain.
If it is compatible with all the 2g / 3g / 4g / 5g networks used in Spain because I have little network coverage.
Thanks
It's a global international model so should work. You'd still need to check the phone bands against your carrier though. Never heard of them.
I just bought Galaxy S22 Ultra from Samsung US website unlocked, then my work moved me to Kuwait. I purchased a 5G sim card but was never able to connect at 5G speed (my carrier is Ooredoo).
I went back to the store the the sales person took my sim card and placed it in an iPhone and the 5G worked perfectly with a speed of 750.
I called Samsung and they told me that because you have a US version, it should only works 5G in the states.
Any suggestions please on what to do?
Please note that I already checked all basic settings like selecting the 5G network and checked the APN settings for Ooredoo.
Sounds like the bands aren't compatible. What 5G bands is ooredoo using?
This is what I found
Ooredoo Kuwait
Company Overview Ooredoo in Kuwait, formerly known as Wataniya Telecom, is the second largest mobile carrier in the country, and a member of the Qatari-owned Ooredoo Group. Commercially launched in December 1999, the company provides mobile, broadband internet and corporate managed services...

The thing is a company like Apple makes only one version of each model that works everywhere in the world but here Samsung make many varieties of the same model that region specific... Unbelievable. I will no longer buy Samsung and will switch back to iPhone.

Just make sure not to buy one in kuwait. They don't have the mmwave bands for the us. So apple does make different models for different markets too. This year just happened to have the 13 series with most bands(not all)

Oh really! I will wait for the 14 pro max anyway and will make sure it will work in both regions before I buy it. Thanks for your reply Erick.

There are two working solutions for S22 Ultra US models at this forum:
How to Enable All Bands Through Service Menu on US/CA S22 series (including Sub-6 and mmWave)
What is this? This is a guide on how to enable all LTE and 5G bands on the US or Canadian S22 series phones by going through the service menu. This guide is mostly based on this S20U guide by mellojosh, but has been adapted for the S22U phone...

Process is relatively easy, and after completing either of those two above, phone ends up with all 4G and 5G bands available
I found the answer to this, so for others, the 5G bands are not the same on the international variant:

Hi All -
I've had a rooted phone for many years (currently a Pixel 5). I know US Samsung phones are not rootable.
Q1 - I'm looking for the international version of the Flip 4 but can't find it on AMZ, EBay, or anywhere else; is it not launched yet?
Q2- When it is, how can I check the available bands for compatibility with 5G T-Mobile (n41, n71, n260, n261)?
I know the US version has those bands but I'm not sure I want to go back to a locked ecosystem.
Vzw on my F926b experience.
Sim has to be in slot 2. Rooted to gain access to ServiceMode app (*#73#). Did some tricks that helped DSS control, MIMO 4x4 (4xALL), Prune (removed), and ignored CA Combination not matching. So far I've been able to get 4g+ (aka 4.5g) and 5g+ when isolating the lte to bands 2 or 66 (couldn't get it under band 4, 5, 13). That said, 5g band n5 kicks in (never got 41, 66, or 77 to work). If the phone idles it's goes back to 4g/4g+ but under load back up to 5g+ (if anyone knows how to hold 5g I'dlike to know). I live in SF Bay Area including SF day trips.
Hello
I have a question. S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 - it's the best choice?
I am looking for a phone that I can use in the USA and in the EU (mainly in Poland).
In USA I use T-mobile USA and I'm looking model which one have dual sim or sim+esim.
In Poland I use usually Play P4 (need bands N1-2100 for 5G and B1, B3, B7 and B20 for 4G)
and sometimes T-mobile Poland (needs bands n1-2100, n78- 3500 for 5G and B1, B3, B7 and B20 for 4G)
Will the S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 be the best choice for me?
all S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 unlocked version from ebay have available 1 physical card sim + 1 esim?
other available variants S22 ultra:
SM-S9080/DS, SM-908E/DS, SM-S908B/DS
these above models are probably less compatible than SM-S908U1?
Thank you
I have looked at these options, I have always went for the dual SIM (SM-S908B/DS) for example. I have no problems with 4G anywhere I go, but 5G is limted as all the bands are not available out of the box. US model seem you can unlock these bands, however I have yet to find a way for SM-S908B/DS.
Not really sure why I need 5G to begin with, as I use less than 200Mbps a day and 4G it pretty robust in the countries I have traveled to in Asia and EU.
I checked this model on this site.
But I am not sure about the trust of the site....
