Discussion Smartphones supporting Carrier aggregation

[TheAndroidFreak]

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

You need to visit site cacombos.com where everything is given in detail(You need to confirm the model number from ecommerce website and this site, if it matches and if it has desired CA combination then you can go ahead and buy that particular device). Generally Motorola, One Plus and top end flagships from Realme, Xiaomi, Samsung also supports 4*4MIMO on all bands 3/40/41. So you can buy those. In budget only Motorola does. All the devices launched in India under 20K by Motorola has support for 4*4MIMO and 3CA.



Currently, Moto G71 is cheapest device with 4*4MIMO and 3CA which can last till 2024. Supports all 5G bands as well. With Jio you will find speeds capped on this device even on 5G, but on Airtel and Vi you can get maximum potential speeds which can network provide.

See following screenshots. These are the best combinations which can give speeds across the country.

Yes. But it is better to go for G62 than G71, if you use GPS for navigation frequently. With NO Compass sensor, G71 will have some issues during navigation (talking from my experience of Moto One Fusion plus). G62 coming for sale in 5 mins has stereo speakers, 120Hz display and all sensors including Compass. But it has IPS display instead of AMOLED in G71.

EDIT:-
Just bought one G62, as my S10 Lite has got lot of issues.

I already used both the devices. LCD is not so good on G62/G51. That's why not recommending it to anyone. LCD on G40 is good. But not on these phones.

Give your experience here after two weeks. Battery life and network experience. RX-Monitor and netmonster shots. You can crop the location if you want.

Most probably, Yes. I have earlier used Moto One Power and then Moto One Fusion Plus. One Power LCD display was not great, but fusion plus was just awesome. The after market replacement display was much better than OG Moto one. I have changed the display thrice and the phone is still going strong, even though the phone's fifth birthday is coming soon (now my Mom is using it).

One thing I noticed is, plastic frame of Samsung phones is sturdier than that of Moto Phones, not sure about G62 though. But I prefer IPS screen as its easy and cost effective to replace locally.

Yeah Sure. I will try to post a review here in a new thread, if time permits.

Right now, I am using Jio in Samsung Note10 Lite and Airtel in my kid's Pixel3a. I am still undecided on which SIM to use in Moto G62. Considering the phone's network capabilities, Jio will be the worthy candidate. But then, I have to move Airtel to Note10 Lite.

@TheAndroidFreak since you have already used the G62, I want to know one info, which is NOT available online. Whether G62 supports e-sim? Can you check and reply please?

These are the combos. As you don't use Vi, I have not attached band 41 screenshots. Band 41 is not available where you stay. So no meaning either. You will get 3-5-40/3-40-40 on Jio/Airtel in Tamil Nadu. Airtel has 20Mhz so 3-40-40 will be good. About esim, I have no idea. I will check with Motorola team and ask.

These are Nothing Phone 1 combos not Moto G62. It's my screenshot which I shared

Sorry. Phone is filled with too much photos. Edited now. Moto G62/G71/G82 has same CA and 4*4MIMO configurations.

Thanks for the detailed lists @TheAndroidFreak and @RummaanKhan bros.

Thanks, will eagerly wait for your update. Phone is reaching me by Monday only. If this phone has eSim, then I will use VoId and Jio (eSim), along with microSD card.

Actually I have VoId sim with daily 1.5GB data and its valid till 23-Jan-2023. But since its speeds are too low, I rarely use it. It comes handy when I roam in Mah and MP+CG circles. Initially Jio and Airtel speeds were bad there and VoId only has usable speeds. But now, the situation is totally different, VoId speeds are inconsistent (but very good sometimes, but with huge pings) and Jio speeds are very much improved and Airtel also has reliable speeds. VoLte of VoId is NOT at all working in roaming in Mah and MP+CG circles. In AP also, VoId VoLte works like in 50% times and suddenly disappears. I am using Idea yellow SIM.
