Agreed.  Underwhelmed.  VOLTE is enabled and it may work for some, but not in my home.  Band 41 is in my home at a -112 or worse.  On VOLTE, I get drops on my transmit because the phone can not reach the cell site.  I enabled some of the carrier aggregation options like 25+41.  While I was able to add the check mark to enable it, it sure does not appear to be working.  If it is working, I can not prove it.  It sure does not make VOLTE work on band 41. On a VOLTE call, I show band 41 3xCA download but only one B41 upload. Of course, VOLTE does not work well using band 41 upload when you are on the fringe. Band 41 probably works fine for VOLTE if you are close to the cell site, but it sure does not work my home without some upload.   Are we ever going to see any VOLTE that uses band 25 or band 26 for upload and band 41 for download??? 
I will be using CDMA for  along time maybe.  I have b41 everywhere, but as soon as I go into a building, the phone still hangs on to the band 41 sometimes down to -130.   When it does this, no data of any kind can be uploaded. Therefore no VOLTE inside many buildings but CDMA does still work.  I am about ready to just turn band 41 off.

Were they on the Beta or did they get the official update?

Averages coming up slowly. Still a garbage display by all. Sprint is still firmly in last. Verizon is running away with it on speed. As of writing this, these are the current averages:

Verizon: 25.86Mbps

AT&T: 17.3Mbps

T-Mobile: 16.03Mbps

Sprint: 13.56Mbps

I can see Sprint being the slowest. 5mhz xCA for b25 and trash uploads on b41. If your on 5G you will get the best experience with 5G uploads and lower ping.

So looking at the SAR Evaluation Report I do see both B46 and B48 included in the testing. This is for the SM-G986U model, which I think is the S20+. 

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=1mWkSDy%2FlfGXjv%2FMid%2B%2Bkw%3D%3D&fcc_id=A3LSMG986U

Looks like it by the radio specs. Looks like all 3 will support N41. I'm planning on upgrading my AT&T line thought, I'll hang onto my 9+ on my Sprint line for awhile. 

Its interesting that the report doesn't list B46 or B48. I'll have to see if I can make sense of the FCC filings, I'd be highly surprised if the left out LAA and CBRS.

Its almost time for the next iteration of Samsung's Galaxy Phones! I'm planning on pre-ordering either the S20+ or Ultra. Current Rumors have it going on Pre-order February 11.  Let the discussion commence...
 
 

I was wondering because it actually shows the CA info in SCP. I haven't seen that in either of my S9+ yet. I was hoping that would come with Android 10.

Are you on the Android 10 Beta? 

Wasn't able to but pulled a 145Mbps speed test

Just got this on my s9+

I've honestly never seen one in the wild other than mine. Always see Samsung and iPhones only [emoji20]

An unofficial post on the OneUI2 beta community claims that the beta has gone final and has been released to the carriers for testing. I don't know how accurate this is but it's been a while (Jan 6) since we got a beta update. Since the original roadmap showed a January release, it's quite possible that the next update will include Android 10/OneUI2.

Clearwire Towers still exist but they are rare (mainly random B2 or B4 sightings). 
Almost all = Clearwire locations have been converted over to Nokia MM/SC clusters, though some have been upgraded to Tri-band towers. I assume the Clearwire sightings are from full-towers which also have legacy Clearwire equipment. Recently, some of the Nokia MM/SC clusters are starting to be upgraded to Tri-Band.

It funny that the LTE version got it couple weeks ago but not this 5G model

Yeah I'm thinking because of the 5G it took more time.

Forgot to mention but Monday 1/13 the Sprint S10 5G got the android 10 update.

Is uplink 64QAM a network-wide thing now? 

I'll check tomorrow when I get to work.

Three different areas so I doubt it.

Find out. What does the engineering screen say? *#0011#

I believe so, it wasn't there a month or so ago when I was up in Lynnwood.

Finally! Spotted a Samsung 64x Massive-MIMO panel in the wild. The tower at the Lynnwood intersection of the 5 and the 405 (by the Target) has one on the top rack pointing down the 405 corridor.

I honestly prefer the design of the app, I use it when shopping on my phone since a lot of apps have integrated Google Pay as a payment method, and it does a good job of storing tickets and pulling ticket confirmation information from my emails and storing them to find later. Also almost every store I go into has NFC set up now. The three big exceptions were CVS, Target, and Walmart. Both CVS and Target activated NFC within the past year and I shop at Walmart once or twice a year (literally) so I always have the Walmart app on my phone set up with Walmart Pay just in case.

I haven't stepped into a Walmart in years. ha ha.

I've switched over to Google Pay, because I really only use it on my watch(es). It's extremely rare for me to run into a terminal now that doesn't take the NFC payments so my watch GP works best. My bank will remove my digital numbers from Samsung Pay if it's inactive for a month, so just haven't put my cards back in.
It is amazing how within 6 months everyone finally turned on their NFC payments on the verifone terminals. I think I only hit one store this Christmas shopping period that didn't take it. Prior to that, Samsung Pay was superior, but now it doesn't really matter. 

I can echo that sentiment. From the first release, it was pretty stable. Every bug that I encountered, I reported, and it was fixed in the next update. Samsung is pretty proactive about fixing problems as long as they know about them. I'm still on the last version of the beta and the only thing I miss is Google Pay. Everything else works pretty much perfectly.

 
Think they're ready to merge with T-Mobile haha.
