Does anyone think the 5g version of this phone will have the capability of accessing
Mm wave, midband and 600 frequencies and be sold unlocked? The S10 5g can only do the mmwave, the Note 10 plus 5g does midband and the 600 range OR mm wave bit not both. I'm on T-Mobile which eventually will use the entire range after the Sprint acquisition.

The note 5g already have the SDX55 modem. I don’t think T Mobile will implement MMwave anytime soon it doesn’t travel far and can barely penetrate through walls and the amount of battery will be used searching for signals will be too much imo.

They are using mmWave in certain cities (neighborhoods really) via the galaxy s10 5g. Although it's true that it's only found in very limited areas, when I'm in those areas, I'd like to have access to it.
Greetings all,
I have a TMO Note 10+ and got it when they came out. My question is does my phone support 5G? I would hope so since I bought it when it was released. The model number is SM-N975U. I just got the upgrade (last night) to UI2 and Android 10, however I have no idea if this upgraded my phone to 5G. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
BH
Not entirely sure how it works over there but the Note10+ with 5G over here in the UK is SM-N976B and is specifically called "Galaxy Note10+ 5G" in About phone.
Edit: SM-N975U is not a 5G device but again not sure exactly how it works in the US with differing standards of 5G.
No unfortunately, 5G requires newer modern and thus there's a newest version of Note 10+ that's called Note 10+ 5G that you need to buy directly from T-mobile

Wish it did (bought mine soon after it came out), but the Note 10+ (the SM-N975U) we have doesn't have the 5G hardware in it.
unless you specifically bought the 5G variant there is no way to get it as it is different hardware. it's the same reason in the UK the 4G model is dual SIM while the 5G is a single SIM as the 5G model includes a single 5G modem while the 4G model caries 2 of the much cheaper 4G modems.
it's why I made sure when I purchased to phone at launch to get the 5G variant as there is no software way to upgrade from 4G to 5G, the 5G variant could get on 5G from the day of launch the problem was finding a supplier and a mast that actually supported 5G, but the last couple of months at least in the UK coverage has improved and seems to be accelerating with more firms and towers expected to make announcements January.
The 5G Variant of the Note Plus is N976U - and from what I can see, the specs are the same as on the Note 10 Plus with the exception of the 5G capability.
Something interesting - I ran antutu benchmarks on a N975U (highest score was 475,000) and a N976U (highest score was 496,000) and I am curious why there was such a big score difference between the two phones - they are nearly identical in specs. Shouldn't their scores be closer?
The only other difference I can see is that the N975U was built in Vietnam and the N976U was built in Korea.
N976b my model 5g version from ee uk have android 10 also phone was built in korea

Sorry Vietnam phone was made 17.9.2019 was made
If you wanted the 5g version of the phone you should have purchased the 5g version. They have been pretty clearly marked when you purchase them. Perhaps you can exchange your 4g for 5g if you are still within your return window.
855+

The N976U for AT&T and T-mobile has the SD855+ that’s why the scores are higher than the non 5g note..
Actually no, Note 10 5G T-mobile has a regular 855 and not 855+
One plus McLaren has 855+
EDIT: It does have 855+ as pointed out below by @billyblonco2
Actually it does have the SD855+. It’s as simple as downloading CPU-z or a similar app and compare the CPU and GPU speeds to the non 5g version and u will have your answer right in front of you.

I stand corrected, thanks. On the spec page on T-mobile's site, it lists the processor as SM8150(SKU for regular 855) and not SM8150-AC which is the SKU for 855+ which made me think it has 855. MKBHD guy also thought One plus came with faster processor. https://youtu.be/nmnTAOU44SI?t=94

While it is hard to disprove when you apparently have evidence in your hand, I cannot see a single other place on the internet that references the Note 10+ 5G getting the 855+.
It would be interesting to see what's on the hardware tab in the Samsung phone info app.
Edit: Nice man, that's quite the device. Best SOC in the best handset.
Qualcomm didn't waste time differentiating overclocked hardware names on the chips. Even other 855+ phones don't say 855+ in cpu and hardware apps.
Samsung and the carriers don't want to upset people who bought the non 5g and advertise the 5g versions have overclocked chipsets .
I'm sure there's a good reason they didn't call it the 855+ but I'm doubtful it's so other customers aren't upset.
I'm helping a friend pick a new phone. Obviously the UW model can be bought marginally cheaper through device payments. However, the drop in specs from the regular S20 is probably more noticeable than the lack of UWB. They find the S20+ too large.
For use on Verizon, has anyone noticed a significant reason to pick one over the other? Reception is a major consideration as well. I know some models lack certain bands or have stronger/weaker antennas.
You know the answer. If you want uwb get verizon s20
I had recently purchased a Galaxy M52 5G which comes with similar specs to that of A52s 5G. But it had very poor WiFi range and connectivity. So, I had to return it. I checked in the specs that it comes with {Mod edit} SISO instead of 2x2 MIMO. Hence the poor WiFi connectivity.
Since A52s 5G also comes with SISO instead of MIMO, do you also experience the same issue with WiFi?
No issues with my A52 5G with wifi or 5G connectivity.
So I modified the carrier policy and LTE features restrictions on my T-Mobile oneplus 9 pro LE2127 in order to be able to 5G signal access for my carrier.
My carrier Rogers has probably the best 5G coverage and speed in Canada, and certainly in my hometown.
I have a plan with 5G capability, and when using my Motorola Razr 5G I have tremendous 5G download speeds, and even the Oneplus 8T 5G I had pretty good speed. My son's iPhone 13 Pro Max also has tremendous 5G download speed (but inferior 5G upload speed compared to my Oneplus 9 pro.
But my Oneplus 9 pro on 5G download speed is significantly slower than any other 5G capable handset (I do random speedtest.net downloads at the same time with both handsets side by side). 50% slower than my Razr 5G or my son's iPhone 13 pro max, and 30% slower than my previous oneplus 8T 5G.
For the record, the Oneplus 8T 5G from T-Mobile worked in 5G mode without any carrier policy, nor lte feature restrictions mods. Anybody have similar slower 5G, or is there something else that needs to be done.
Cheers,
