Hi Guys
I am thinking of purchasing this phone but i have a question about the 5g part. On the box it says EE. So does that mean the phone will only work with EE 5g. I am planning on using vodafone 5g. If the phone is unlocked, does the 5g work on other networks?
Thanks
Also,, does that mean the phone is locked to EE
Can you unlock these phones?
I have one from EE. It's not locked and I use it on another network.

Where did you purchase it from?
I purchased one from EE and it's unlocked, was extremely surprised.
The only thing it's not dual SIM.
Sim lock
I bought mine from cEx £415 EE green, but tried my Smarty (Three) sim in it and it works
happy days, just pray it's not blocked wihin my 2 year warranty period
How is the battery life on this phone?
Anyone got any reviews on the 5g version of the phone?
I've ordered the oppo Reno 5g from ee expecting it Monday to be delivered.
Not exactly upgrading as I have a Samsung s10 plus.
I've just decided to pay me contract off to reduce my monthly outgoings , I was only 8 months into my 24 months and there was 500 to pay so I've sold my S10+ and ordered the Reno 5g because I've managed to get it for £25 a month
I just hope it's not crap ?
Reviews are mixed and there isn't many of them either

Please give me an update comparing the Reno 5g to your s10+. I am really interested i what you have to say.
Thanks
Does that mean my unlocked oppo 5g handset will work on Vodafone 5g or is only one EE?
Does anyone know about the 5g part. Surely I can benefit from another networks 5g other than EE?
OK I am quite annoyed because I emailed oppo and they said the 5g signal was will only work from EE. I had no idea the handset will be locked to only one networks 5g signal.
So frustrating
Does anyone know if oppo will ever allow us to use 5g from a different network?
Any reviews of EE 5G signal?
Cmon surely some people must own the 5g version of the phone.??
I've got 2 of them but i'm not in UK. My Reno's 5G are not locked. Why not asking directly EE to know ?
Does anyone actually know if the oppo reno 5g handset is locked to 5g service only. I am currently using it on vodafone but i never get 5g signal on it even when they tell me that 5g is activated. o2 are starting to get 5g and my contract finishes in December. I am debating whether to stick with vodafone or move to o2 but i want to be able to use the 5g service due to the fact i have a 5g handset. EE is really expensive for sim only so that is why i do not want to go with them.
Anyone using 5g service on a network other than EE?

Is 5g network rolled out in all areas where you live. I can tell you know that where I am in Australia, there is barely any 5g network, so best I get is 4g
Hope someone can give me advice. I have 5g in my house, my wife uses an IPHONE 12 promax and it can detect 5G but my device cant. can anyone help me please?
I'd like to up this too. I bought a Korean single sim phone with band n78 but it cannot detect 5g while my wife's IPhone 12 can. Any advice? Tried doing the quickshortcut app technique accessing the 5g signal manually but it won't select it for some reason
Check your SIM card or contact your carrier for help.
hi! Globe uses 5G NR/NSA n78 Band, which the korean varian SM-N986N supports.
Globe also provided information for foreign visitors who would like to hook to their infrastructure while visiting Ph. (see link below. don't mind the partner carrier)
5G Technology for Mobile - Globe
5G technology is the next generation of wireless internet connectivity that offers faster speed and more reliable internet connection than ever before.
www.globe.com.ph
if SM-N986N can't see the 5G network while other locally bought phones can, chances are 5G NR/NSA n78 band isn't available in your area and other phones hook through other 5G bands, or your sim card does not support 5G services.
i wasn't able to verify this when I went back to Ph, since my current provider's partner network is Smart
I have tried other forums and I am getting conflicting information.
I am looking for an Android smartphone that is capable of dual SIMs. I know that Apple iPhones can
do this, but I want an Android.
Some places I have read that the software on some smartphones designated for the United States
market have that feature disabled.
Anyway, my ideal smartphone would be:
Dual SIM (one physical and one e-SIM is acceptable)
Will work on AT&T and Verizon Wireless MVNO (like Total Wireless)
Has 5G bands for both AT&T and Verizon.
Will do wifi calling and texting, natively, on AT&T.
I think a Google Pixel 6 would do this. What I can't determine, yet, is if I should just buy the
unlocked Google Pixel 6 or the AT&T version. The unlocked version is $599 and the AT&T version
costs $739. What do I get for the additional $140?
pixel 6 is not dual sim, atleast not one the unlock version...
The $740 model has mmWave support. The base version does not. If you want to use Verizon and AT&T's fastest 5G, you want that antenna. Just beware that 5G is in extremely limited areas currently and mostly only works outdoors too because it doesn't have much building penetration capability. I personally would save the $140 since Verizon and AT&T are in the process of rolling out C-band 5G which IS supported by the modem and has much better range and building penetration.

It has eSIM and physical SIM which IS dual SIM. OP said that would be fine.

Yes it is. One physical SIM and one eSIM.

Am interested if this Pixel dual standby mode (SIM + eSIM) works for foreign sims too? Can I download AT&T as eSIM and use it with Spanish Orange SIM as physical SIM?

Should work as long as the bands are compatible, I wouldn't see an issue.

Slight tangent, but do you know if there's a way to check which version I have? I got mine as a refurb off Amazon, but it's unclear whether I got the GB7N6 or G9S9B (to my understanding the G9S9B has mmWave?) - and I swear I saw "G9S9B" in some device-info app but I can't find it again.
Edit: Oop, solved my own question. Termux getprop ro.boot.hardware.sku -> G9S9B. Neato. ...Don't know how that happened because I thought the G9S9B only came from AT&T and Verizon and I got it pre-unlocked, but I'm not complaining.
I based in the US and I am looking for a new phone, the lack of choice here is bad. Have you used this phone on Tmobile in the USA? Does this support Wifi Calling and Volte?

I have the EU/NA variant (DN2103) and I'm using it on T-Mobile in the USA. There are no options for Wifi calling or Volte and I'm unable to use any dialer codes to activate them. However, I do have good LTE service and everything works as expected. There are a lot of people in other countries on the OnePlus forums complaining at VoLTE not being supported and supposedly it has to be enabled for various carries by OnePlus. I'm hoping the Android 12 update will enable Wifi Calling and VoLTE, as it IS reportedly working on certain carriers in other countries.
That's disappointing, I had a Chinese version of the OnePlus 7 (Red!) for a brief period. I was surprised wifi call was working with it.

I'm suprised also. My OnePlus 6, 7 Pro and 7T all supported WIFI calling on T-Mobile, BUT they were all sold in the USA. The Nord 2 is not meant for USA consumption, so I have a feeling that's why it doesn't support wifi calling and VoLTE here.
Its still strange that i hadnthe chinese editon of the op7 had wifi calling working and the nord 2 doesnt, neither phone was for the US, maybe tmobile changed something

do you still experience the same? VoLTE is still not supported? What about 5G? Is it working fine on T-Mobile?
What data speed do you have?
Hi,

I having a -Mobile (USA) card in it and have mostly no Cell service, and if a Cell service than only 2 G
Thanks for your feedback

most of the things should work
I did look on this specs first, after I got it seems like there is something additional. There is one spot I get a super connection but 90% of the time weak or no Service at all. I have tried many phones before but none of them even had such bad reception. And there supposed to be even the Tmobile 5G 71 Band. It looks to me someone sold a restricted fu.... Asia version without mentioning it
go to settings and all the way down you should see your model number. Considering that USA specific is not out yet you most likely have asian one which is XQ-CT72. EU one is CT54.
But those should work on t-mobile network, most of the bands are there. And those are low bands, so longer range.
It runs at limited feature support. Sony disables VoWIfi for US models and many other features including Bluetooth features such as Bluetooth meta data.
Sony blames T-Mobile for limited feature set. you will need to root your phone to hack up the build to enable VoWifi and other features.
This feud between Sony and T-Mobile has been going on for the past 10 years and Sony still playing ignorant to US market.
if you don't care about such limited feature set, Xperia 1 IV should still work on TMO
I just got my phone yesterday and realized the same thing happened to me, I didn't have service where I used to but I managed to get it working by: going to settings, then network and internet, then Sims, scroll down to access point names. And two options should pop up, I changed mine to T-mobile US LTE.. And restart, which worked for me.

that is correct, the issue is more related to Sony software rather than just the region. the only way to get VoWifi is to root your phone and disable sony software limitations

yeah this guide should work, its for the Xperia 1 III, I would think it would work for the IV, I just switched to goggleFI to get Wifi calling with out having to do anything.
Getting VoLTE and VoWiFi on unlisted carriers by flashing mbn file
I live in Canada and I have a BC72 (Asian version). I am struggling to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working. I know that mbn file is the key to getting IMS support and sony seems to block some carrier mbn files (only mbn in sales areas are available). So...

I have been using the XQ-CT72 here in michigan on GoogleFi, which is basically t-mobile, in my town where I live, I get 5G without doing anything to the phone, but with that said, I work 20 miles out in rural area and apparently from my research tmobile use band 71 for 5G in rural areas, I can get LTE+ but no 5g at work, my Pixel 6 pro can get 5g but its like 1 to 2 bars that`s it, but with my sony I get full bars of better signal on LTE+ with my Sony, since the Sony is missing the n71 band for 5G, but I`m fine with what I get, since at work I` m on wifi anyways, I`m happy with my purchase, I originally had the US model on pre-order and the release date was pushed back to Sept. 22-23, so I cancelled my pre-order and bought a new one on ebay for 1069.00 compared to sony wanted 1599.00 for US mode
EDIT: I ended up send it back to seller, the 5g icon was not really 5g, if you're in the USA I would wait and buy the USA version, which I pre-ordered from Sony website, expected ship date is 22-23
moving to GoogleFI is the best option to use this phone in the USA. it will utilize Tmobile USA and have all feature enables.
Can anyone comment on Verizon compatibility with this device?
If really like to save some money and not buy the bootloader locked na version (if locked is still a thing)
Thanks

Only way to know for sure it to just buy it and try it for your usecases. Just buy it somewhere with a good return policy. I bought mine on Ebay with a 30-day return policy and so far it works fine on AT&T. Just make sure you do the trick where you disable dual-sim. (Google the details, it's somewhere here on XDA or on Reddit).
I bought my USA variant phone a week ago, and everything on T-Mobile works with the exception of Wi-Fi calling. The only alternative we have is to stop using T-Mobile and switch over to Google fi which does support Wi-Fi calling. Other than that my phone is flying super smooth and with fast performance like I've never believed compared to my old LG v30 Plus. I'm definitely impressed with this phone.

I'm using mine (XQ-CT62) in the Verizon network. Reception is not the best in the area where I'm but it works with no problem
Is that a coverage thing most likely, or the device itself? Rural area?

From a technical point of view, the phone should work on all carriers in the USA without issues, (with the exception of the Sony/T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling issue that forces those who want Wi-Fi calling to switch to Google Fi, Mint Mobile, and other MVNOs).
Whatever service is in the area should work. Verizon will provision your phone to work with it's network. CDMA based carriers are supported per Sony's phone settings, so I would just go for it.
