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...
Anyone getting a 5G signal on ATT. My ATT sim gets 5G on a Pixel 5 while my 8T gets 5G with a GoogleFi sim. But theres no 5G when I put on the 8T with ATT sim card for some reason.

Are the bands supported? Also Fi might be using TMO 5G

I have the same thing. If I test data speed it appears to be 5g, but only shows lte+

What does that mean? Are you using an unlocked 8T on AT&T in the US, and you are positive you have 5G access? How do you know this? Do you have a setting that nobody else has to be able to select 5G as a default? Your statement is lacking at best.

BOZO!
In case any of you are unaware, all unlocked phones will be useless after 02/02/2022 on AT&T with the 3G shutdown.
I'm actually waiting to see the lawsuits happen...haha
Much of att "5g" is actually LTE-A (4g). They branded it "5Ge" the same way they branded their 3.5G (hsdpa+) network as "4g" when everyone else started rolling out LTE. since the 8T is not updated by att the icons won't be changed like they did with older phones that got "upgraded" to "5g" by changing icons in a software update. (I have a friend that is certain his galaxy s9 is 5g after att pushed an update)
How do I test it? Do I need a full signal to do so. Speedtest.net? What speed am I looking for.
I have a Google fi in the other sim slot and it reads 5G and would like to compare if I can get a little guidance.
Thanks
Any idea when will dual sim 5G be enabled in Oneplus Nord. I lost 5G after updating to android 11 oos.
Is there any easy method to enable 5G Manually. Will i get 5G if i just flash a custom rom?
5G in UK on Three is proper hit and miss in a TV show test (Gadget Show) Nord was slowest by over 20mb in same network as other mid range 5G phone's. There is not much 5G even when in in Central London it's absolutely rubbish on 5G
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get 5g on my op9 ,I pay for the service and I've tried a lot of settings fiddlin ,but nothing seems to connect .maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree all together ,lots of crossed facts online about this .Is it possible ?
What service do you have?
I have OP9 5g on TMobile.. 5g works for me
5G works for me also on mine..
LE2110 11.2.7.7DA Chinese Model

Go into dialer settings #*#*4636*#*# phone info and make sure Nr is selected
AT&T doesn't have the OP9 as a certified phone on their network. There is no way around this, either. I've tried everything and even selecting NR doesn't yield 5G on the device. It has something to do with the bands AT&T users for 5G.
Do you get the 5G symbol or does it just stay on LTE?
You might be able to change "carrier_policy" using the Qualcomm .exe and QTSP .exe on the computer.

This right here. As a former AT&T employee (corporate office, not retail level), I can tell you that it is most likely that the handset does not use the same 5G bands as AT&T.
AT&T primarily uses the n260 band (39GHz mmWave) and the Global OnePlus 9 does not use that band. In fact, none of the models of OnePlus 9 use n260. Now, from what I understand, AT&T *does* provide low-band n5 service in some areas so it IS possible that some users may report having 5G service on their OP9, but it's purely because they're in a low-band n5 area and as soon as they move into a more populated area where it switches to n260Go to and see,their phone will drop back to LTE.
What I can tell you from my real world experience is that 5G is really nothing to write home about. I live in one of the largest markets in the US and 5G is really not any faster than LTE most of the time. In some cases, it's actually SLOWER.

The LE2115 OnePlus 9 has AT&T's low band and C-Band 5G bands, with no mmWave, the LE2125 9 Pro has all of AT&T's 5G bands yet AT&T does not want to whitelist it for 5G access on their network. Verizon certified it for their 5G (OnePlus 9, nationwide 5G, and you can use QPST to enable C-Band on the 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, nationwide 5G, you can use QPST to enable C-Band on the 9 Pro, and mmWave), why can't AT&T?
Hi all , does anyone have a OnePlus 8t on sky mobile u.k and actually get 5g ?? 5g add on is turned on by sky and in my 8t I have 5g selected but I never get 5g , I'm in a 5g area too , phone was bought direct from OnePlus , many thanks .
