Question 1. Is the bootloader unlockable on the UW version if purchased from google.com
Question 2. Will the 4a 5g (non UW version) still be fully supported on Verizon. **I don't care about 5g at this point in time
In other words... What I'm really trying to find out is if Verizon will "force" me into buying the UW version and refuse to activate the non UW version
Yes, Verizon's version will have the UW band and they will make you buy that one if you want that feature on it. No the bootloader is LOCKED.

My understanding though is that any unlocked pixel will work on Verizon but will not have the above-mentioned 5G UW support. Based on reading on previous devices like the One Plus 6 and higher you will have to take an extra step or 2 to get VZW to certify the device but it will work.
I have said goodbye to Verizon after 15+ years in October. I was convinced that they had the best coverage but I just couldn't continue to pay anymore. I should have switched years ago. I have Google Fi and have ZERO regrets. Not only do I have a bootloader unlocked device, if you act soon you can get the deals mentioned in the other parts of this forum if you want to switch.

I have the unlocked model working on Verizon. Nothing special needed. Just put in your sim and off you go. I didn’t order the Verizon version because I don’t need that extra 5g band at this point.
I just got Google Fi deal 4a 5g which doesn't have UW. eSIM for my personal Fi, physical for my work Verizon sim, dual standby works wonder. Don't care about 5G anyway.
Hi guys. Came here as im having problems with my Redmi Note 10 5g. I was with Three Ireland and was able to get 5g but the signal in my home wasnt the best, Someone told me that Eir 5G had much better reception so i switched my network to them, However now i cant get 5g at all with Eir. Im on a 5g plan and my area is covered for 5G. I seen posts about the Oneplus 8 pro 5g having same kind of problems with Eir and users said that by update the carrier policy document on the phone with Eir 5g settings enabled fixed it for them. However i cant find anything like this for the Redmi Note 5g.
I was just wondering if anyone here could maybe point me to a guide or in the right direction to do this for my phone?.
Has anyone gotten the Global version for use here in US? Curious about carriers and bands. TMo, AT&T, Verizon. Will it work without issue?
Wow. Nobody?

Thanks for the response. After some research I have found that on 4g the phone works fine w at TMo and AT&T but none of the carriers have 5G compatible w global version. Here in US the 5g used is n260 & n261 which (conveniently) isn't used anywhere but in the US.
Oh yeah sadly most 5G asian phones doesn't support millimeter wave 5g
I just got a new Xiaomi 11t, I put my SIM (MVNO/AT&T) in, and 5G data works perfectly.
I can't make or receive phone calls, but the internet (5G) works.
Support tells me I need a New VOLTE Sim card to get voice working. If that works, then I can say Xiaomi 11t/pro does work here in the US.
FYI....note pre order looks kinda strange?
OnePlus 10 Pro global launch officially scheduled, US pre-orders live right now
The highly anticipated global launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro is finally right around the corner, and the company is teasing some kind of a surprise.

Considering the US versions had the physical second SIM slot removed in the 9's. I wonder if OnePlus is going to continue that with the 10's. JerryRig's video of the Chinese version breaking easily during his bend test really doesn't inspire me to want to pre-order it, even with only a dollar down.

Good question about dual SIM. I bought a dual SIM tray for my 9 Pro but never managed to get it fully working. It'd be nice if the 10 Pro at least has a way to enable it.
No 12G/256G variant in the US for now. I'll pass!
Reading reviews it seems worse than the 9 Pro in alot of ways and better in a couple. I don't think it's worth getting it especially with Oxygen being basically Color OS now.
All of the cameras are the same as the 9 Pro with the exception of the ultra-wide. For the US market, it's a downgrade in terms of RAM with only the 8GB/256GB version being released currently. I doubt we will see any bend tests on it until close to the Easter launch date in the US. OnePlus is definitely pulling a Samsung here, in my opinion. New model, same old hardware from the previous device for the most part. US models will more than likely not be possible to convert to dual-SIM just like with the 9/9 Pro's. The b/s marketing speak about not being able to deliver 80W fast charging in US models is purely a crock!
Personally, to get me to buy a new device from OnePlus. I want 16GB/512GB variant T-Mobile US model that is possible to convert to dual-SIM. Why? I need to domestically roam on to the US Cellular network as a T-Mobile customer and only devices purchased directly from T-Mobile are permitted to roam on US Cellular (US Cellular roaming requirement). I also carry a Canadian SIM that roams in the US and I don't like carrying two phones. All of the cameras need to be significantly improved and no more stupid holes in the screen. A larger 6.8" screen or maybe even a 6.9" would be something I would hope to eventually see. They have pretty much been using the same screens since the 7 Pro's for the Pro devices. The SnapDragon Gen 1 throttles due to excessive heat on almost all devices using it.
Let me start off by saying I like OnePlus smartphones. They have done in NA what Xiaomi have not with there flagship smart phones. Too bad MiMix....
I'm big into 5g, because anything that is faster is better.
My first OnePlus was the 8T 5g phone. It connected to 5g like any other NA smartphone homologated for my network (Canada). It was fast, and it worked right out of the box for 5g.
I soon upgraded to the OnePlus 9 pro 5g, and right out of the it would not acknowledge not connect to 5g. Ugh! I soon updated the stock firmware and found some work around by modding a file so that the 9 pro would connect to 5g even after rebooting. 5g switching was not necessary. It wasn't that great, it was faster than 4g, but lagged behind in raw speed compared to the 8t 5g (as well as my RAZR 5g, and my son's iPhone 13 pro max). I soon lost the ability to use the modified 5g band file with subsequent firmware updates. So i reverted to the PlayStore app 5g switcher. Still, not the greatest 5g in terms of speed. I know our network up in metropolitan Canada is strong, just was disappointed.
I'm now using the OnePlus 10 pro 5g with the 5g switcher app and i must say the speed and performance on 5g is way better than the OnePlus 9 pro 5g. I guess that one extra 5g band makes all the difference in the world in terms of consistent and fast download speeds.
I would rate the 10 pro a slight notch better in terms of 5g speed over the 8T 5g, and several notches above the 9 pro.
If your looking to make the switch because of the speed on 5g, you cannot compare the two. 10 pro is the way to go. I must also say that the OxygenOS is alot smoother on the 10 pro over the 9 pro (not enough of a reason to upgrade), why is that? And the extra 500mAH of battery capacity the 10 pro has on the 9 pro can get you through a day with less battery anxiety (I sound like one of those EV owners) which in my books is always another feather in the hat to upgrade to the 10 pro over the 9 pro.
Cheers

Unfortunately the OnePlus 10 Pro does not come with a UW band mm wave radio. The OnePlus 9 Pro does. So possibly because your in Canada you don't get UW mm wave ?
