Question Xperia and Xfinity (Verizon MVNO) - Sony Xperia 1 III

I am very interested in moving away from Apple, and would like to purchase the Xperia 1 III. My carrier is Xfinity (a Verizon MVNO). Their website only shows Apple, Samsung and Pixel phones as being compatible with their network. Would a Sony phone be compatible? It seems strange that Google and Samsung are supported, but no mention of Sony. Thank you!

with sony not being a popular brand for smartphones, i think that’s why they’re not listed. from all i have read the phone will work just fine on all us carriers, t-mobile, verizon and att. again from what i have read, att might not get 5g.

No more official chance to unlock bootloader

I found this thread, it is related to the Honor10 but i don't hope it will be extended to all Huawei products

IT will extend. As I read that's the deal Huawei had to take to launch devices in the US. No more unlocking, rooting and so on. All pages will go down soon.

Damn. I really wanted the M5 with LTE. I have the M3 and the only thing I don't like about it is no LTE. I know that one of the models has all AT&T bands except for band 2, but in my area I've only seen band 2 except for a few instances of band 12 and it was only 2 bars.
Just saw that today. I was really disappointed
And there is an additional requirement for requesting unlock from Huawei:
2. 用户必须在申请解锁的设备上登录华为云帐号并使用超过两周;

That is not written in the English version. It means:
The device MUST log on to Huawei Cloud account for over 2 weeks.

I just started my Huawei Cloud account (I feel using China's service is not right and disabled them on my first run). Hope I cloud pass through their requirement within the last 60 days ?
Otherwise I must pay for unlock, which does not seems right to me
Got mine now in case it's needed at some point in the future.. Thanks for letting us know.
OK, I'm new to this concept. So if I ever want to unlock the bootloader, I need to get a code now before the service is discontinued? But that code will be good forever, for repeated unlockings if needed?
And in order to get that code, I need to use Huawei cloud service for two weeks?
@Obveron: Yes, yes and no. I have not used the cloud thingy.

Once the phone is paid off, sprint will give you an unlock code.
As far as root goes, the US versions of Samsung phones will not be rootable.

I'm using Cricket but when I put the SIM into the new phone it halt the service. I need to call CS to re-activate the service.
I also checked on ATT and Cricket's web site said the phone is not compatible.

Please see this guide: Link
By flashing mbn file, you can access full functionalities your carrier provided (except Rogers, fido, chatr, cityfone). However, due to band differences, please don't expect full speed 5G internet in Canada on this phone. From my test, Rogers 5G is slower than its LTE on my BC72 (it's not the internet issue because I tested on an iPhone).
I checked online about the band information for the US version of Xperia 1 iii, all the 5G bands in Canada are supported so technically you can have a better experience than me.

Question 10T 5G Chinese OS to International

Hello!
I'm honestly very green when it comes to flashing of any sorts and never paid attention to the XDA Forums. I've been using Samsung devices purchased on the international market and decided it was enough when I dropped my zFlip 3 and the capacitive touch stopped working.
I'm currently residing in China and plan on purchasing a 10T 5G locally.
Since Chinese devices don't come with Google services out the box, how would I go about flashing a custom ROM or even an official release ROM onto the phone to use it as if it was an International device? Buying a phone and not being able to use Google services is a no go for me.
If not the 10T, is there any other devices that I could purchase in China that would allow me to flash an international ROM to enable Google services?
Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated!
My Ace Pro is a China release of 10t, when I purchased it online, the seller flashed 10T India Rom. Works here in the Philippines.
see https://www.oneplusbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6370880
which ROM for 10T/ACE pro to flash in daxiaamu web site? is it the one lightlight below? thanks

Cool! So apart from a different name and OS there doesn't seem to be a vast difference between whats released internationally and in China. Thanks for the info!
