I HAVE SM-S908N STC IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE FIRMWARE AND ESIM SUPPORT PLS HELP............
Korean model - maybe look at Korean message boards with translator. Please consider a global model next time, EU models are pretty good out of the box and the US version can enable all bands.
S23 will be out in a couple months, you should be able to get a good trade in if you can wait. If not, EU with double sim and good cover of 5G bands. US model is much better in covering 5g bands, however single sim (not sure about esim)

Anyone know if N20 Ultra will have dual SIM in States? I've searched but couldn't find anything solid on it.
ANy update fellas? Are they gonna release OTA to add eSIM functionality? I am regretting buying this 1300 bucks toy now.
I want to know this too, would pull the trigger right now but can't find it. Official site says there are single and dual sim models, but when you go to checkout doesn't say what you're getting!

Just chatted with support, FWIW, he said only the Global version has dual-sim, not the US version.

Well that's a bummer.. I guess it's going on swappa or offerup, still making money.
So the USA model won’t even be dual sim EG one physical sim and one e-sim? [emoji23]
Nope, yet Apple has had it for two years!
Dual sim= Sim+ eSim
Exynos
just like the s20 ultra it isnt clear at all. there does seem to exist a 'B' model and an 'F' model, some are dual sim, some are LTE only. its hard to find exactly the right one. In the Note 10 the 'F' model didnt have band 30. But on the LTE only s20 (no 5G) there is band 30. But on the 5G model there isnt band 30. Frustrating if you use AT&T
I think the dual sim model of the Note 20 ultra is sm-n986b. its not clear if its dual sim or sim plus e-sim.
The US models are historically NOT dual sim on nOte 10 and s20.
In Europe is dual sim = sim + sim or you can use sim + esim + SD card on ultra
If you look at the USA web site...

Omg, i always have to buy the HK versions of Samsung devices because they Are Snapdragon+Dual Sim, but if (FINALLY) Samsung make USA model version Dual Sim too, that means (at least for me) pay less. Did you have the link? i want to check so i can make the pre-order

That link is for "global" version and it says ESIM support is dependent on country/carrier. Samsung has disabled ESIM specifically for US for some odd reason. They promised S20 will have ESIM with a software update but that did not happen as of yet, we can only hope their $1500 flagship N20 Ultra supports this but as of now there is no mention of it.

Don't hold your breath!
Has anyone used one of the international Dual-SIM unlocked models recently? I'm guessing they still don't have the ability to do VOLTE and Wifi Calling because they don't have the US CSCs available. I have the US unlocked Note 10+ and appreciate how smooth the carrier swap process is, but like everyone else I'd prefer to just leave a couple of SIMs in at the same time.

It depends on the carrier, but you will get WiFi calling and VoLTE on US Tmobile if using Exynos dual sim model. It lacks the important bands though like band 66, band 71 and some 5G bands
From what Ive seen and reading - no Dual Sim in North America ( same like S20 ) -which means Physical + Esim, having just Esim means phone w/o a physical sim and thats it, but not work in conjuction
Users experience for S20

It acts like the regular Snapdragon version will support Dual Sim???? I won't be able to test it out until Monday so curious if anyone else has tried.
I have an ATT SD variant that lists 2 IMEIs on the box, however, it appears the eSim functionality has been disabled. there's another thread on the eSim where this is being discussed as well.
Hi all, I plan to buy a note 20 ultra in the US but because I will soon relocate to UK I wanna know if I can flash the US version to EU or other versions to get N78 5G.
It might sound crazy but I actually use Sprint in the US and I wanna get dual sim support while I am in the UK.....
So I first have to buy a phone accepted by Sprint and then activate it, and then add the N78 support(which means crossflash or csc?)
Thanks for reviewing this question and I wish you all the best!
I am finding answer for the same....
But it's a snapdragon phone, and you can't flash the exynos version... And the snapdragon one doesn't officially support n78, but the x55 modem does, so can't say
And some people have used combination files for maybe s20 or so to change settings and cross flash CSC to get into it. But don't know about the bands
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G bought from the US (SM-N986U1) and I am currently in the Philippines. Is there any way I can make the 5G work here? If currently there is no way, would you think there will be in the near future?
Depends if the 5g bands are the same in both countries (and operators), you'd need to check that.
You could try the whitelisting method used on the Hong Kong variants which allows 5g use in Europe. Google it.
This is interesting part. I've been thinking about this not long time ago. My idea is as HK variant has same chipset etc, except storage with USA variant. So I believe it possible in some way to enable hidden or locked 5G bands on USA variant.
Not possible make to work because it do not support bands used bands and combinations used in Philippines: https://cacombos.com/device/SM-N986U

hi mate just for knowing, i had this idea to import myself a broken note 20 ultra 5g US variant, you said that the 5G is not working. Did the 4g,3g or 2g worked for you? im from italy and i found on ebay a good priced phone, but now im scared that the network will not work for me. i found the philippines band chart with all the frequencies and bands. like in italy, only one/two of them are supported and i would like to know if the network was working.

Hey there. Yes. My former Note 20 Ultra 5G US variant's 4G is working in the Philippines.
I recommend you get also the Hong Kong (Snapdragon) variant instead, as I have read somewhere that HK variant's 5G could work in the UK.

Well this answers my question. I recently bought a US version note 20 ultra 5g and having trouble activating the 5g on my phone which seems to be impossible. I should have bought a snapdragon hk version instead then. This is very frustrating cause I'm really enjoying the benefits of a Note phone.
I have ordered the S22 Ultra from the US and hoping to use it in India. Can anyone confirm if the USA Unlocked S22 Ultra will work on Indian SIM Carriers? I have also read that Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass stopped working under such situations in last year's S21 Ultra. If anybody has any insight on this topic and solutions for it, please post them on this thread.
For curiosity may I ask reason to import from USA when this time India have Snapdragon already.

Basically through a friend of mine, i was able to order the Tab S8 Ultra 256gb with Keyboard and S22 Ultra 256gb (unlocked) for $1900, whereas the same would cost $3000 in India.
The samsung s22 ultrabought from usa works on airtel Sim in India. But I am not sure about jio Sim.
BUT THE CALL RECORDING FEATURE DOESNT WORK ON USA MODELS.
The usa models have an extra bandwidth chip installed on the right side corner of phone. That helps the device to work and have better network in low network areas like basement etc.
I personally checked this on iPhone 12 same models with same network jio one usa version and other Indian version. The usa version model was able to receive and make calls buy Indian model couldn't make and receive calls.

That’s the mmwave antenna not a extra bandwidth chip right?

Hi,
does 4G+ work? If that doesn't work it won't support NSA 5G too

Yes, you're right, that isn't a chip; it's an mmWave antenna that enables support for 5G frequencies well beyond the 6GHz range. Besides the US, few/no countries I know of have deployed or even planned on deploying these ultra-high frequency bands, so this antenna is practically useless outside the USA.
Hi Everyone,
I purchased a S22 Ultra while I was living in EU. It is the Exynos Variant. I moved back to India and I can no longer connect to any 5G providers. My SIM supports 5G and 5G works when the same SIM is inserted on any other phone. The model is SM-S908B/DS and is on the latest One UI 5.1. I have tried contacting Samsung support but none of them seem to have any answer for this.
Does anyone has the same problem or the Exynos Variant doesn't support 5G outside of Europe?
Apologies in advance if there's already a discussion thread for the same.
Regards
Yash

S908B Exynos is not sold in India so it probably doesn't contain 5G configs for Indian carriers. Good luck contacting Samsung India or Indian carriers, they highly won't provide support for S908B.
There's a thread about enabling all 4G/5G bands, but it's for Snapdragon only.
Best way is to trade in your device for an S23U S918B (sold everywhere except USA, Canada, China, HK, Taiwan and South Korea)

Did you try to reset all network settings only in settings? Or may be try to change region CSC.

I don't have S908B, but might worth a try.
Use Samfw tool to change to every possible CSC, see if it works.
