I see that the Snapdragon 765g supports WiFi 6 but the pixel 5 doesn't, can this be fixed with a software update or is there a hardware issue

I expected the Note 8 SD to be capable of using Galileo GNSS satellites for GPS location, based on published specs.
Having tried various apps that claim Galileo, I have not noticed any Galileo satellite being received. I own N950U1, unlocked bought directly from Samsung.
Does anyone has different experience with a SD Note 8?
Hi,
Can somebody tell me if it's possible to use WiFi 5GHz as a client after installing custom rom?
Regards,
redmi 4x hardware not support 5Ghz wifi, only 2.4Ghz
What kind of hardware is missing? CPU is able to operate in 5GHz: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/435

The processor supports it I guess, but the WiFi card in the device only supports 2.4Ghz as far as I know.
Some cost cutting to make the device as cheap as it is.
as with many other things which snapdragon 435 support but is not enabled in redmi 4x
- specific 4g carrier bands
- quickcharge 3.0 (can be enabled in custom kernel)
- galileo positioning system
- 5ghz wifi
- etc etc
on the 5ghz wifi, am not sure if its just disabled by xiaomi or the 5ghz antenna missing (or there is dual band antenna inside phone?). so far no one make 5ghz wifi work on redmi 4x.

its on rr nougat go check
I think, it is problem of software, because 5GHz hotspot runs...
I'm using Huawei Mate 20.
First, the device claims to have Wave 2, 4x4 MIMO with MU-MIMO support.
Normally, smartphone only has 2x2 MIMO, including the closest rival, One plus 6T.
Sounds pretty good so far, but after I perform speed test, result shows otherwise. The QAM capabilities are good and I'll explain more in the conclusion. Below is my test result.
Do share your speed tests too! And let's discuss!
My Test Result:
2.4GHz:
PHY/link speed of 72Mbps (tested at same distance from router)
- Mate 20: 35Mbps down, 40Mbps up
- Samsung A7: 42Mbps down, 48Mbps up
- Oppo F9: 42Mbps down, 48Mbps up
With several other distances tested, the speed is always lacking on the Mate 20. Even lower end device like Oppo F9 is consistently faster than the Mate 20. What's happening actually?
5GHz :
Will test after I get my new router.
Conclusion
But the claimed QAM capabilities can be noticed when you go to WiFi setting and check the link speed.
With 5GHz 2x2 MIMO router, the link speed can achieve full 866Mbps (meaning 256QAM). But actual speed is yet to be tested, which I suspect will be having same issue just like on the 2.4GHz (below par speeds).

I believe the 4x4 mimo is related to cellular LTE not to wifi

It's not true. The official specification of Mate 20 & Mate 20 pro, has WiFi spec below:
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (wave2), 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/phones/mate20/specs/
So, why the actual transmission speed is slower than cheaper phones?
Hello everyone,
I bought two Realme X50 5g from Amazon uk and I was really excited when the phone arrived, from what I read everywhere was a lot of value for the money. However just after a few hours of use I was really disappointed to see the behaviour I am having in both phones.
I can connect to the wifi 5g band without issues and I get internet, the problem is that after a while (randomly can't tell 1 hour or 10 hours depends) when I check the phone it says "no internet" and I can't access anything, I need to disconnect and connect again and the internet comes straight away.
This issue is a little bit annoying because it means being disconnected for a while until I realise about it.
I am in the UK and I have Virgin Media and was using their SuperHub 3 which has worked really well with any device until now. I tried to change the config from dual band and add 2g to the 2g ssid and 5g to the 5g ssid so they were separated so it doesn't use dual band automatically and is the same. I was suspicious the problem could be the VM router so I bought a new router TP-Link Archer A7 AC1750 which I believe is a middle range router which supports dual-band however doesn't have all the high tech technologies like mu-mimo and beamforming. Anyway I got the router setup everything and have been using the Tp Link instead an the exact same thing happens.
I am with EE as carrier and I don't have yet a 5G plan, however as soon I turned on the phone with my sim EE sent me a test saying that they have enabled VOLTE since I am on a device that supports it. I may be wrong but I am also getting the impression the issue tends to happen more frequently if I have received or done any calls, but I have no hopes on getting support from EE.
I have contacted Amazon support which was hopeless and I have sent an email to Realme support but I haven't heard from them yet.
I am starting to consider to return the phones and get a refund but if I need to get to that will be a shame because the phones does looks nice and I have been enjoying it, I like the UI and the performance is quite good.
With all said I was wondering if anyone is aware of any issues with the Realme X50 5G and the 765G SOC wifi?
Thanks in advance
Hello everyone, I live in Hong Kong and bought a Pixel 5 GD1YQ. The phone is great, but the network performance is not as I expected. I even suspect my Pixel 5 has a defective modem. I use the app NetMonster to check the bands that my phone connects to. It rarely shows LTE-A, but only connects to one band. What's even worse is when it connects to band 1 (2100 MHz), it sometimes drops internet connection and shows an 'X' in the signal bar, the signal bar is full though. I had an Xperia 1 before and it always connected to multiple bands (CA) wherever I go.
I have a little request here. Would you mind telling me whether your Pixel 5 always does CA or not. Also, if you have another phone, how is CA on the other phone comparing to Pixel 5? I just want to know whether my phone has a faulty modem or just isn't compatible with the carriers in Hong Kong? Thanks in advance.
Update: I just found that when I use another carrier, the phone changes bands more actively. So, I guess that's a compatibility problem. Now that I want to buy one more of another colour.
