Will Samsung provide an update for standard S10's to use the new 5G on 600mhz?

[KieranK]

We already have 600mhz (band 71), but a TMobile rep told me the manufacturer would develop an update to make the standard non 5g model capable of using the new network. 

Has anyone heard anything?

no but interesting

LOL, he must have been trying to sell a phone. The hardware isn't there although some AT&T phones actually show 5G in certain areas. AT&T has an enhanced 4g that they actually tried to call 5g and it was showing 5g in the notification bar but it really wasn't.

well, this isn't mmwave. It's lowband 5g.

It works for 4g as well. See my post below

unless you have a Galaxy S10 5g or note 10 5g you can't use 5g on any network. however, if Sprint and T-Mobile merge successfully, a software update would allow some devices to use both networks

[OMNISCIENT]

Remember this, ONLY the OnePlus McLaren Edition 5G & Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G can use the new 5G (based on Band 71, aka 600Mhz) by T-Mobile.

NO amount of software update or whatnot, can make other phones to be compatible to that, even the S10 Plus 5G (that's only have 5G in Mmwave frequency).

Have a great day to y'all

LMAOOO the dude who told you all that info is talking out of his **bleep**. You HAVE to have a 5g modem in the device otherwise you cannot get the signal.

4g works on 600 mhz as well. See my post below.
