Discussion Smartphones supporting Carrier aggregation

[Advik]

Pretty good, supports 8 out of the 10 bands available in India leaving out only the mmWave band n258 and the not yet formalised APT600.

Same 8 bands supported, should work fine with Indian 5G.

5G NR (Bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n77, n78, n79)


If Jio deploys SA for n28, then you won't get coverage. SA only for n41/78 for Indian model. Rest is fine with Vi and Jio.

Will jio's n28 SA works for s22 ultra?

But when the hardware is capable then what's the point of not using it to it's full potential? Does it cost anything extra to the device manufacturer to keep all bands enabled?
Also in the screenshot I shared why does it say all enabled bands when listing those if they are not enabled?

Qualcomm is a bloodsucker. The cost remains the same to manufacture and profits are already earned when they sell the chips, yet the phone manufacturers have to pay extra money to activate every single band.

Yes. For sure. You will get 3CA on 5G bands for all three.
You will also get 5CA with combination of 4G and 5G bands. Rest assured about it. Most importantly, this phone doesn't support mmWave. But that won't be deployed across all sites. So this is quiet good phone for next three years.

Not many phones with mmWave, right?

Not a single phone in India. Even till iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhones also doesn't support mmWave.

3G Internet speed on 4G now, soon 4G speed remains on 5G, nothing can expect from Indian telecom companies.

I am getting 50+Mbps speeds on Vi mostly. Sometimes, I do get 100Mbps throughout the day. You need good phones to get good speeds. Redmi Note series till last year was poor in giving speeds due to 40C and 2*2MIMO capability. This year many phones under 20K have 3CA capability and 4*4MIMO supports have been released. Even Xiaomi own Redmi K50i is beast in terms of network support.

Even though these speeds are in night I generally get 50-80Mbps during day time. So I am pretty happy with what I get. If you are stuck on Jio, then nothing is going to happen as 104Mbps speed cap exists with 4*4MIMO on band 3/40. Such a waste of technology and resources. Jio is good in rural areas. It's sh#t in urban areas mostly at peak times. Otherwise its fine. Blanket coverage throughout each corner of the country. But barring that, Jio doesn't deliver good experience. 5G launch might change the end user experience but it will take huge time to deploy 5G spectrum and we should not wait till that to happen as we are spending hard earned money.

Last but not least, buy phones with 3CA and 4*4MIMO atleast here onwards. You will get good speeds everywhere.

Redmi K50i clicked 210Mbps today morning in Pune with CA on band 40+Band 41.

Hi thanks for detailed tech response but how would common people like who are not savy in mobile/network tech knowledge knows whether mobile handset has 3CA and 4*4MIMO ??? what they are and in which mobile handset has those what to look for
