When I got my Note 9, I had to get the Exynos processor (international version) in order to be hackable. Is it the same for the S22 Ultra?
Why Do you want your phone to get hacked?
If you mean root then exynos or sm 9080 or 908E
Ting told me that the phone needs to support:
1) VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and
2) Band 12
Will those phones do that?
Also, you meant sm908 "b", not sm9080, right?
Yes the 908B (ExNos CPU) is also rootable. All there have Band 12 and volte. 9080 and 908E are snapdragon

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.
Hi all
Can someone kindly check which bands are supported? There seems to be no official information from Samsung which is a bit odd. Makes me think the Exynos version supports a fair few less bands vs the Snapdragon version. I also asked Samsung support and noticed in their reply following bands are missing:
B18, B19, B25, B26, B32, B38 and B66
I haven't fact-checked it but Techwalls has a rundown: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-s21-plus-5g...
@C0derbear it does look more plausible vs. what Samsung support says (sigh they can be so clueless but I keep thinking it must be a lousy job and don't blame them). Do you own a S21+? We can probably cross check using a dial code or a tool (no root required AFAIK)
I do have one, I have a US unlocked (direct from samsung) with a Verizon SIM card at this time.
Oh I see. I need someone with an Exynos. They can try this:
and post some screenshots.
I've been using the exynos s21 ultra on t-mobile and it supports all the lte bands plus one 5g band. You don't get a 5g symbol on the status bar, instead you get a 4g+ symbol. I've tested the speeds between this phone and the t-mobile plus 9 pro and they're exactly the same. The only difference is that calls take up to 5 seconds to connect compared to the one plus which is instant. I hope this information helps anyone on the fence about purchasing an exynos variant.
Cause I bought a exynos note 20 ultra last year off amazon and it could only get to lte but not 5g and I got it to get 5g and be able to root. So I returned it and just got a snapdragon version and just lived without root which is honestly fine btw. Will the same thing happen if I buy an exynos s22 ultra? Or can the snapdragon version be rooted this time? Pls don't yell at me if this has been asked but the search bar here is confusing and I'm baked af

Well, not knowing which carrier you use, I don't know what else to say.... Perhaps take a look at the source the next time you're not "Baked AF".....
No ill will intended, but, if you give the site a good look, you'll be able to figure it out.

The most reliable way to ensure your device will support 5G is aquire your Service Provider's device.
Typically with the Exynos variants you can access root but since it's a brand new version ask a Exynos user if bootloader unlock is available in developer options. If you're going to be in US it probably won't connect.
Again typlically only the Snapdragon version from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong (SM-G9080) will offer unlocking the bootloader. If you're going to be in US it probably won't connect.
Be aware OneUI 4.1 may have eliminated bootloader unlock.

Thanks bud, what a gentleman I have tmobile in the US. So your saying if I get a tmobile exynos I can have 5g in the US no prob? And is snapdragon s22 ultra rootable or is it just the exynos version?

The T-Mobile device is a Snapdragon variant, if that's your carrier and you need 5G it's your best option. The T-Mobile device, if it's the same as it's predecessor the S21 Ultra, can't be rooted. T-Mobile only sells Snapdragon variants.
My experience with a HK s21 ultra that has the same bands as exynos s21 is that 5G doesn't work in the US asot didn't have
the key 5G bands. On TMobile it sometimes says 5G as the device has one if the bands tmob uses for 5G in the US but it's phantom, and you only get 4G.

Yep, I have the SM-G9980 on T-Mobile and Network Mode displays 5G but it never connects. For me 5G is close to useless and I'd rather not have T-mobile's bloatware and prefer the unlocked bootloader. Not to mention no long term carrier commitment if you're looking for a discount on a new device.
So, I was planning to order an S22 Ultra (US here) but I wanted to get a rootable version. The 0 version (Hong Kong) of Samsung phones is usually rootable + bootloader unlockable, plus it has a Snapdragon, but I was wondering if it of was any use under Verizon.
Does anyone else have any experience under Verizon using the S9080 or any of the Hong Kong variant phones? Cellular capabilities? Aggregation? VoLTE?

I have the S21 Ultra Hong Kong device. It works on Verizon but no 5G or Carrier Aggregation. You’ll likely get 4G LTE and WiFi Calling. Guessing the HK S22 Ultra will as well.

Isn't the device 5G? Why doesn't it work? Isn't the 5G a universal thing?

No, it's not universal, you can ask Verizon if they can provision it but likely they can't. This may have changed with the S22 Ultra but I doubt it.
anyone using a s908e variant of the phone in canada or i guess us?? can anyone tell me if the 5g works on the phone? i see the phone supports n38 and 66 which are used in canada along with 71 which the phone doesn't support i believe?? so theoretically it should work right? but i also heard stories that non canadian 5g phones the 5g doesn't work with the carrier because it's not approved..
reason i'm asking instead of just purchasing the canadian version of the phone is 1 the the s908e i can get a lot cheaper than the s908w it's like $400 cheaper for the 512gb.. and 2 the bootloader should be unlocked in the s908e?
