So after searching around the internet and forums and discovering the 5G model is basically not receiving the same attention as the 4G I was wondering if any developers could answer me this, is it possible to convert the phone somehow? Of course I aren't expecting to use 5G if it is possible ( it's the only model EE offer) so had no choice but after reading that updates are none existent and there is no custom ROM support nor are we eligible for android beta programs ??*
In short: No.
I've seen it smart 5g but modem is the question best to ask a Dev who builds kernel 5g has a ways to go by next OnePlus release trade up is best way
Not really, no. AFAIK (I've done zero research on this so I can very possibly be wrong), the SOC in the 4G version is different from the 5G version because the SOC of the 4G version (System on Chip/Card, basically the CPU etc) does not support a 5G modem and antenna.
As I understand it, the difference between the 4G and 5G variants is similar to the difference between a Snapdragon and Exynos Galaxy S8,9, etc.
Again, I could be wrong about this and it's just how it was explained to me prior to the phone being released when I asked if it's possible that the 4G version could have the hardware for 5G and just not be enabled until 5G is available in your area, because there was a time when OnePlus was making a blanket statement that the OP7 Pro would be 5G, and said nothing about a 4G variant even being a possibility.
I believe the 10 Pro is 5G compatible (the 10 [non-Pro] is not). I think the U.S. 10 Pro does not have 5G enabled. Does anyone know if the U.S. 10 Pro can have its 5G capability enabled by a software update (when 5G is more available and 5G SIMs are more available)? Thanks.
Why do you think so? The Snapdragon 855 does NOT! have an integrated 5g Modem, its additionally.
The 5g device has physically different hardware. It's not just a software thing.
What makes you suspect otherwise?
Hello XDA,
I was wondering why the Mi 10 Pro/5G and other phones using the latest Snapdragon chips only support limited CDMA bands? It was my impression that Snapdragon chips have the modem/cellular built into them. So is it just a lack of support via the software or do they actually have a separate chip that attributes to cellular signal/processing? I've been wondering this awhile but have been unable to find any information relating to this.
Thanks
The 865 has a separate modem, unlike the 765 which has an integrated modem (and runs at half the speed). It is my understanding that while the 865 is capable of all the bands, the OEMs select which to use per market. For example, the US has lots more bands than the EU. Hong Kong doesn't use band 20, so it's not implemented there while it is in the EU. You get the idea. As to why they don't just enable all bands and be done with it, I really don't understand either. iPhones, for example, seem to work everywhere.
Basically I wanted to know if someone has changed firmware on US based model to some other region and got 5G option working or not. Currently I am happy with 4G only but as T Mobile supports 5G would be nice to get 5G option.
The Xperia 5 II hardware does not support any of the bands used for 5G in the US currently. International firmware may enable 5G on the hardware, but you will not receive a 5G signal anywhere in the US. This is why Sony disabled 5G on the US model and marketed it as a 4G device.

I thought Snapdragon 865 already have 5G support inbuilt and Sony just disabled it for US variant.
Do phone need separate hardware to support specific bands?
Edit: Ah! Got it now that T Mobile's supported bands are not event part of what Global variant support.
But my other question still remains,XQ-AS62 don't have 5G on hardware or it's just software that is disabling it?
Mate I and the rest of Australia can't even get 5G on a Sony Xperia 5 ii or 1 ii handset and these models are 5G enabled.
Sony have stuffed up 5G support somehow. Lots of worldwide reports and no solutions so far.
Annoying as hell.

IDK why Sony is not enabling 5G unless it requires some special H/W (like 5G modem). AFAIK 865 has support for 5G and it has 5G modem: Overview | Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G Mobile Platform | 5G Mobile Processor | Qualcomm
Hi, I Read the Full Specs Of SD860 on their Official Site. and There is Mentioned that SD860 Supports 5G. So, My Question is " If SD860 Supports 5G, Is it Possible to Enable 5G From a Software Update or from a Custom Rom ??
I think SD 860 has Integrated 5G.

5G modem required since 5G is not integrated on the chip.
No way to enable it as far as I can tell without the hardware.
POCO X3 Pro doesn't suport 5G. He simply doesn't have a modem (hardware) that supports 5G, so he cannot be enable by software.
The specs in the Qualcomm website state that, check the full specs (modem can vary)
