From what i read on the specs the Snapdragon 400(MSM8266) supports 2.4/5GHz WiFi bands and a/b/g/n/ac classes, but devices like Moto G (XT1032) support only the 2.4GHz band.
On the other hand devices like Xperia M2, that share the same SoC, apparently support the 5GHz band.
Is there some kind of software restriction to remove the 5GHz compatibility? I can't understand why it shouldn't work...

We don't seem to have a Q and A section yet for the SII. Just ordered mine but still finding out more about it. The Samsung website mentions it has dual channel wifi and that means it is much faster. Sorry but what is dual channel wifi? Can't seem to find a simple explanation. Do you need to have a particular router or anything else to benefit from it?
TIA

you don't need a particular router... it just means it has a wi-fi antenna for the 2.4 ghz band and the 5 ghz band... this means the phone should support wireless A/B/G/N(2.4ghz)/N(5ghz).
While a dual band router would give you all of these options you don't need it....
Summary:
Dual Band WiFi in phone = Able to access any type of WiFi hotspot
I own a dual band router and I was glad when I read a few weeks back that it had indeed dual band wifi, just like my Galaxy Tab. HTC phones don't have it, so it's an advantage in comparison with the HTC Sensation.
Usually the 5GHz band is faster, probably because it's not as common and thus not as crowded as the 2.4GHz band...
it is faster but not necessarily for the reason of less devices using it... honestly when it comes down to it it's band width... higher frequency typically = greater bandwidth
Does It support 5.0Ghz frequency band?
I would would really like to know thanks in advance

Yes, the XPS has a BCM4330 chip which supports 802.11a/b/g/n.

How come my XPS will only connect at 65mbps to any wireless n router?
My dlink supports 300mbps and my laptop will connect at 300Mbps but not my phone
Also,
those specs say its bluetooth is version 4.0, but isnt the XPS version 2.1+EDR ?
hi. can anyone confirm the wifi spec of the gt-i9100. the samsung site states :
802.11 a / g / b / gn (2.4GHz / 5GHz)
but i believe there are other things that have to be taken into consideration. i have a netgear wn802t-200 access point which is an 802.11n 2.0 device supporting single band 2.4ghz and dual channel 20mhz & 40mhz, which in theory is up to 300mbps. my sgs2 will only connect at 65mbps which suggests to me that it only has one antenna and only supports the 20mhz channel. is this correct or should i be able to get a higher link speed with this access point ? i can't find this definitively answered anywhere so am hoping the good folks here can confirm. cheers.
My tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2) and phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) both support dual band wifi (2.4 and 5 ghz), but only one or the other, while my router supports SIMULTANEOUS dual band. Is there any way for a custom rom to be configured with simultaneous dual band wifi, bonding the two channels into one connection? Or is this physically impossible due to hardware limitations?
Anyone able to verify if the BE2026 only supports single frequency Galileo or does it actually receive both E1 & E5A?
Oneplus’s specs state dual frequency GPS while not specifically calling out if Galileo is dual frequency.
What is worrying is that specs for the Oneplus 8’s and the 7T do list support for both frequency bands.
Been looking for a moderately priced Android phone that supports GPS and Galileo dual frequency reception for outdoor activities.
Well, after some further research, it appears that it does....(provided there is isn’t some weird hardware omission between the various models)

Be nice to have an Android device again after a few years of iOS. Excited to see what has changed.
