So Tmobile's complete 4g band list is as follows; 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, and 71.
According to clove.co.uk, and another spec sheet I found on ebay, the international model s10 will support all these, except for 71.
I ran into this forum below, which claims you can add additional bands to your phone;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
Whats the likely hood of being able to add this band to the international model s10?
Edit: Band 71 appears to be a 600MHz network, if it matters
Thanks!
Zero to none! That's a 2014 thread that hit a dead end...
T-Mobile's full range is: B2, 4, 5**, 12, LAA, 66, 71, and LTE-U**.
Being that LTE bands require hardware support one cannot create it in software. Sure, disabled bands can be activated on certain QC devices but that's an exception. The Galaxy S1 lacks support for LTE. Even if someone managed to add LTE on an OS level the phone still lacks the antennas, proper modem, etc.

Never heard of LAA, LTE-U**, or 5**. Are those just separate frequencies? I just listed what I found on tmobiles site
So T-mobile uses bands 2,4,12,66 and 71 for LTE. The Exynos version supports all bands but 71. The non-US Snapdragon version from HK/China only supports bands 2,4 and 12. It lacks band 66 along with 71 per Samsung's site: https://www.samsung.com/hk_en/smartphones/galaxy-s10/specs/
Any of you on this model and using T-mobile, do you have slow LTE speed or coverage issues?

What did you end up doing? Im on Tmobile also and want to have a phone with an unlocked bootloader so want to go with a exynos version but am unsure if I will miss the band 71, it does seem like it will really matter to me except if I go to Maine looking at maps.
Wanted to post that on Verizon and Samsung website the LTE bands supported on the device doesn't not include bands 12 and 71 that T mobile uses. Well i have used it on T-Mobile and it connected to band 12 which leaves me to believe the Verizon edition supports all bands like a unlock model would. Single and bands 2 4 and 66 worked great and are the main ones used in my part but 12 is around also and connects. Don't have any area where there is band 71 so cannot test that but like i said probably does just wanted to pass the info.

Hey bud
I just started using the Samsung galaxy s10 5g verizon variant with tmobile and had band 71 in the band selection app but today I checked and the highest band it has now is 66. Why did band 71 disappear from the lte band list?
Would you know about that?
Thanks
Nevermind, figured it out.
Thinking of grabbing the 12gb ram version. Any reason to get global over china version?
Global not out until late Sept but im waiting re band differences. great site https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/AU/asus-rog-phone-2
Some folks have said that bands 66 and 71 will be supported in the Intl version. I hope that’s correct.

Same here. If I cant use volte, that's a no go for me
It seem the 12gb ram Chinese Asus rog 2 have more bands than the 8gb ram one. Can anyone verify? Has the 12gb ram been release in China yet?

Here's the information for the two Chinese version. IMO the 5999 version is same as intl version except Chinese firmware.
GSM/GPRS/EDGE; WCDMA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+;TD-SCDMA; CDMA 2000;FDD-LTE; TD-LTE Same
LTE Cat13 UL up to 150Mbps / Cat16 DL up to 1.0Gbps vs LTE Cat18 UL up to 211Mbps / Cat18 DL up to 1.2Gbps
DC-HSPA+: UL 5.76Mbps / DL 42Mbps same
LTE DL 5CA same
Unknown vs Support 4x4 MIMO and CA w/ 4x4 MIMO
FDD-LTE band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 adding band 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 29, 32, 66
TD-LTE band 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 adding band 46
WCDMA band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 adding band 6, 19
TD-SCDMA band 34, 39 same
CDMA band BC0 same
EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz same
And the information on ASUS taiwan website shows that taiwan version have no TD-SCDMA nor CDMA 2000. Other are same with the Chinese 5999 vision.
Thanks. So band 66 but not 71. Ugh, that’s a shame with T-Mobile, especially with the Razer Phone covering band 66 and 71.
Edit: /facepalm. This phone can actually go on any carrier, so just have to see if any make sense.
So then is the 512gb tencent no good for Verizon? I tried Razer 2 but they said even if it has the bands to work on Verizon, they may have deleted support to get ready for 5g. Had to send the Razer back and I really want the rog 2 but I'm tired of losing signal with att where I live so I'd really like to get the correct model, if any that support verizon
I'm on T-Mobile as well, so I definitely need to know if this device supports volte in the states
I contacted Asus North America to ask if the version we get will include bands 66 and 71. I mentioned how it would be a huge selling factor for those of us on T-mobile. They responded that that would forward it to the product team.

They'd be stupid not to. Unless they like losing money. I know if it doesn't support those bands, it's not even a question anymore, I won't be getting it

Same. Where I'm at, 66 and 71 are crucial for me.
Tencent chinese version does not include EU/US bands..

Hello everybody!
I have bought an unlocked VZW S10 5G from the US and I'm using it in Spain with Movistar as a carrier.
I have a big permanent question on my mind and I can't seem to find a right answer to it anywhere on the web.
As far as I know, the modem this phone has is the Qualcomm X50 modem, which is supposed to be for both Sub6 and mmWave bands (https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-x50-5g-modem). Nevertheless, Samsung only lists mmWave frequencies on their specs page (see specs at the end of the page https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/galaxy-s10-5g-verizon/)
I know that here in Europe we are not deploying 5G the same way it has been done in the US, since the bands that are becoming available are Sub6.
Eventhough it's currently poorly deployed here in Spain, the only band that is available at the moment is the one at 3500 MHz (n78, I think). I've read they'll soon make the band at 700 MHz available, too.
When using the Samsung Selection app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection), I only see the bands n260 and n261, which I know are the available mmWave bands in the US, and the B bands that are used for 4G/LTE and previous.
My questions are the following:
1. Will I ever be able to connect to 5G through some LTE bands or won't that be possible?
2. Could it be that Verizon has disabled the sub6 bands for this phone via SW?
3. Could I use B bands at the same frequency instead? For example, the b42 band, which is also at 3500 MHz, is not listed, but maybe in the near future when the 700 MHz band gets released, will I be able to use the the b12 band, which is also 700 MHz?
I would appreciate any contributions you could make!
Thanks a lot in advance!
1. No you can't use 5G in Spain with this phone because it doesn't support 5G band n78.
2. Modems are configured by Qualcomm and you can't just modify these because these are signed.
3. No you can't really...
Also good check basic Carrier Aggregation combination support by this device. If you like Contribute my site cacombos.com/contribute your device QMDL log with scat I like to add this device to site.
But my advise if you like have 5G in Spain, then you need European version of Samsung phone.
