So I'll be moving to Australia in a month, and since Google still hasn't enabled the 5G option for Pixel 7s purchased in india, is there some easy way without root for me to enable it or will i be able to use 5g if i use an australian sim?
It's enabled on my pixel 7. I bought it from Flipkart last September.. it came with 5g out of the box...
But i don't think using an Australian sim will do any good.. coz its region specific device and updates they are pushing.
I think pixel 7s bought in India alone need an ota update to enable 5g, is there a simple workaround for me to not just wait for that

Guys my cousin lives in Muscat and I'm planning to get me a Note 8 from there since its cheaper there. My question is whether all the features on the device if I use it in India. If it won't are there any working work outs.
what is the model no# if its sm-n950F only then you can use it in india or else you cant
if sm-n950f then you can flash indian firmware and start using samsung pay india make sure the device is unlocked phone rather than locked carrier
Thanks for the headsup. He's coming next week to India. I'll ask him if he can get me the same version.
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.
*My Shameless plug and referral link to receive $20 Fi credit!
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.
Question as in the title. Recently there was an update to T-Mobile Note devices that allowed the e-sim to be used. Is it at all likely that the S21s will be getting this update? Or is there a way to force enable it using an unlock/root method?

That's a hardware feature and it can't be enabled in software AFAIK
It is included in the hardware, Samsung just hasn't enabled it, they marketed it pre launch and we're waiting. I went to the Samsung forum and they are not answering.
Will crossflashing a t-mobile firmware solve this issue ?
I have just recieved a firmware update on my Tmobile S21U that enabled my e-sim!
Update to Android 12 and UI 4.0 allowed me to install a T Mobile esim prepaid card on my unlocked S21 ultra 5g
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?

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.
Hi, Any Zenfone 8 users from India on here?
Asus released Zenfone 8 in India under the moniker 8Z.
The Zenfone 8 I have was picked up from the US and it doesn't seem to connect to the 5g Networks provided by the carriers here.
So wanted to reach out to 8Z users to know if 5G works for them and what update version shows up for them in about device.
I'm on
Version WW-31.1010.0411.138.
TIA
I'm 8z user

Great to know we are on the same version, so there is hope If an update comes through i'll get it too.
I have Jio and yes I've seen Airtel's 5g Compatible list, it shows 8Z pending update.
