I agree they should all be the same, or allow us to swap them when we go places. but then they might sell less phones. That being said, at least here in Vegas I got full speeds with AT&T as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elesbb:
What are your speeds like with AT&T? I currently bought the Google Pixel 7 Pro from best buy and activated a new AT&T line to test and compare to T-Mobile. Where I live, T-Mobile gets on average 300Mbps, AT&T is around 140ish. I'm not impressed.

However, I will probably get much better coverage with AT&T than I do with T-Mobile. I just don't know if AT&T will update the area I live in to get better speeds. But I am loving the Google Pixel 7 Pro. I just hope it doesn't fall apart on me lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zeroktal:
About 500Mbps, I don't remember my uploads. I am on T-Mobile now, was just doing testing with a friends sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elesbb:
500 with AT&T? Damn.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I thought the same lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] awptechnologies:
What is the model number and does it support at&t. Haven't rooted since note 4 but I refuse to get another phone unless I can root. Please help
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] awptechnologies:
Do you happen to know which s23ultra model that supports bootloader unlock would be best for me? I'm in us and I have att. Which one would work for att but allow me to root?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] :
Yes Bro Root Works.

S23U S918B
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] awptechnologies:
Will it support att
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] awptechnologies:
Also how do I go about ordering ir from samsung if I'm in US. I would like to get the 1tb version
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Does anyone have an authoritative link or source for the different S23 ultra regional model variants and their respective bandwidth frequencies such as for 4g and 5g?

Can't find this information for any including the USA variant eg which specific frequencies of 4g and 5g does the USA model support?

The chipset and x70 modem makes it possible for this phone to truly be a global phone but.....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] WesTokyo:
asking the same as well, cant find these details.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
Here's hoping that the band unlock methods for the s22's and s21's also work on the s23's.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lexcyn:
I'm sure it will be the same to unlock the bands, no one will really know until they have one in hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Can you elaborate on these band unlock methods?

And could they unlock mmwave for example on the international variants so that 5g could work in US? And unlock international bands on US version so it could work everywhere else?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
This is the thread you probably want to have a look at. This method also worked for the s21's.

How to Enable All Bands Through Service Menu on US/CA S22 series (including Sub-6 and mmWave)

What is this? This is a guide on how to enable all LTE and 5G bands on the US or Canadian S22 series phones by going through the service menu. This guide is mostly based on this S20U guide by mellojosh, but has been adapted for the S22U phone...

xdaforums.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Interesting....

So basically you could enter the service menu and turn on all the extra bands?

In that case wouldn't the US version be the best one to have since it would have mmwave hardware baked in too? It should then work everywhere.

Though it sounds like you'll lose the function on os updates and resets?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
OS updates from Samsung are never fast. Doing so once every 2 to 3 months isn't so bad for the extra band support.

Samsung's modem software works well for the US and Canada because the hardware is the same and only the modem software separates the bands based on carrier/region. Due to the wide spread of mess across North America, US and Canadian models are always a good choice for potential band support. In some cases though, mixed ROM's can also bridge the support. In the S9 days, you could.jeep.the base.for.your region but flash the carrier side of the firmware to unlock band 71 on some overseas models. I don't know if this is still possible today but with all devices being very similar. I am hoping the hardware, including dual-SIM pins on the main board, will be there to enable through a firmware change or mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Do we know if the international dual sim variant has the same USA hardware based on s22/21/20?

Does it have mmwave baked in but just disabled by software?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] WesTokyo:
I am still not clear what 5G bands are supported on the SM-S918BZKPEUB, nor if unlocking the bands through the service menu works. @UK S23, your deliveries are in place already, has anyone tried?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
It seems as though the bands might only be disabled in software? If so, then it should be possible to enable whatever band you need. The only exception would be if a hardware component is needed or missing then it wouldn't be possible which likely wouldn't be the case for your 3g, 4g and 5g standard range. Maybe only 5g mmwave which is essentially only in US anyway.

If that's the case it sounds like US variant might be the best to get for global coverage barring lack of dual sim (though it does have physical+esim).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
Samsung's band support is mostly software, at least when it comes to 4G and 5G. I have never bothered to change 2G and 3G bands because there is no use for them unless you are in a very rural area or roaming. This is why it is so easy to convert the North American models and why in the days of the S9+, you could get band 71 on international models with dual-SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't get mmwave bands on the international dual sim models right?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
I'm not sure when it comes to mmWave. You can enable it on the W for Canada even though the cell coverage and technologies used up there are probably never going to deploy it. Overseas, I have no idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
I've read that the US and CA models are basically identical so that might explain it. It's also possible I suppose that in s23 since it uses x70 modem, which has native support built in, that all model variants might be able to do it but for software. Though we won't know for sure till someone from different region goes into their service menu and checks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
mmWave requires a specific antenna to function. This antenna used to cost like $50 but I'd be surprised if it's gone down much beyond $30 so manufacturers will still leave it out if it's not necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Thanks and that probably means it likely won't be in other region variants.

Personally, I'd just make a single phone that is globally universal and can be used everywhere. The massive scale should drop the component pricing considerably. Carrier exclusives and market restrictions if any needed in software only. But that's just me lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Yes, you would think they would do this, but Samsung has always customized difference models for different regions so it must not be that straightforward. I believe that regulatory bodies would require them to test and submit all the documentation for that extra antenna, for example. It also wouldn't surprise me if the mmWave equipment is outright banned in some regions either for whatever reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Yeah.

Are iphones globally all exactly the same now?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
No. There are 5 different models of iPhone 14 Pro Max, for example, and each will have different band configurations.

That said, the NA models have the most complete bands of any device released so far this year and it was released last year with an older modem. They even have support for Dish Network's n70, a band exclusive to them worldwide, something Samsung didn't even choose to support on their NA variant this year despite having a contract with Dish for radio equipment supporting that band.

I actually think the NA iPhone 14 Pro models support every commercially available band worldwide but I don't really keep up on bands not used in the US.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Did you try the service menu option to see the options and bands?

Mine didn't get delivered on schedule :(
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
As far as I can tell... Samsung has disabled all this stuff. I can't even get to the *#1234# to see my CSC. *#0011# is the only one that works for me that I've tried and fortunately, being someone who likes to just test mobile networks, that's the one that I need and I would have seriously thought about returning the phone if it didn't have.

Bummer that you don't have it yet. Hopefully it shows up soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
I thought people confirmed it works on their s23s? Is yours unlocked no carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I didn't know you had to actually unlock them first. I did that yesterday. This was my first Samsung since the Note5, things have changed a lot lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
:)

So it's there now and working.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Yep
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Nice :)

No screen defect? Bottom left or right warping
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Almost imperceptible. It's only visible in direct bright light with the screen off and has zero effect on the phone screen itself so I'm not worried about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Hmm wonder what it's from and how many it affects?

You won't be returning it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Samsung says it's not a defect and I got Care+ free. I'm not going to risk losing my $180 from Rakuten with an exchange just to get the same thing on another device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Fair. Will check mine tomorrow and hoping I don't see anything.....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evangelionpunk:
Happy to report no issues at all :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dda7lite:
I would love too but won't I lose warranty?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan7283:
Yes but if you relock your bootloader you can get your warranty back so don't worry about it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dda7lite:
Your sure? because I can't lose my 3 year warranty
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan7283:
Yes, I'm sure don't worry, but if you flash a rom via fastboot, you lose all the data of the phone, do you accept that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dda7lite:
Yeah and I will probably not flash it today I might sent it to warranty first because it's giving me a really weird problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan7283:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dda7lite:
You can write the tutorial if you want and I'll save it 😀
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan7283:
Ok, first you have to unlock the bootloader:

Step 1: Download this file and unzip it. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664849473

Once you have unzipped it, go to the mediatekbootloaderunlock folder and go to the drivers folder, right click on the file "cdc-acm.inf" and then click on install

https://www.technobuzz.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Install-MTK-driver.jpg

Once this is done, go back and install usbdk (x64 for 64 bit OS, x86 for 32 bit OS) on your PC).

https://www.technobuzz.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Instal-USB-drivers-1024x450.jpg

Once this is done, restart your computer (important)

Turn off your redmi 10

In the mediatekbootloaderunlock folder open the "UnlockBootloader.bat" file

Once the file is open, press the volume + and volume - at the same time and once this is done, connect the cable to your PC.

Wait until the window closes.

Your bootloader is now unlocked.

Now that the bootloader of the phone has been unlocked, we will flash the new phone rom.

Step 2: Download the phone rom from this site: https://miuirom.org/phones/redmi-10

(I advise you the Indonesian region)

Once the rom has been downloaded, the rom file ends in .tgz, unzip the rom with WinRAR or any other unzipping tool.

WinRAR

WinRAR - the data compression, encryption and archiving tool for Windows that opens RAR and ZIP files. Compatible with many other file formats.

www.win-rar.com

Once the rom has been decompressed, download Mi Flash tool on this link:

MiFlash20200314

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

Unzip the zip file and open the file miflashtool.exe

Once opened, put your phone in fastboot mode (power + volume -)

Connect the phone with a cable to the PC

Click on refresh, the phone should appear.

Then click on select and select the unzipped rom you made earlier.

At the bottom of mi flash tool, click on clean all and lock, this will delete all data and close the bootloader.

Once this is done, click on flash and wait for it to finish.

If you get an error like: checkpoint is not done fastboot lock or something like that, don't worry, it means it worked.

You now have miui 13, enjoy.
