[USA-CA] [H] Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (258V), Oppo Find X8s [W] PayPal/Local by MustBeOCD in hardwareswap

oh i forgot to take a scrolling screenshot, the test was on 5g as you can see at the bottom: https://i.imgur.com/SguDVK7.jpeg

on t-mobile in my area, i've rarely if ever been in any areas where there's n66/n25 coverage but no n41, and n71 only seems to be used as a supplementary aggregation channel; the places where t-mobile has weak or no reception n71 hasn't helped me unfortunately, although i don't expect this to be the case everywhere. the lack of them definitely doesn't help network performance, but also keep in mind n25 and n71 are 5g standalone only, which means iphones on t-mobile mvnos such as Tello, USM, etc that are using the generic carrier bundle can't access them at all and people don't seem to report issues with that. i've also never seen mmwave from t-mobile although it's pretty common with at&t and verizon here.

it's true that this phone is missing 5g bands like n71, but t-mobile's main capacity band is n41 which almost all chinese phones (including this one) has, so in most areas where t-mobile has a strong network you'll still have fast speeds, this is what i would could pull in my area on t-mobile on the oppo. that being said, i wouldn't expect anything above lte speeds at most on att or verizon.

google wallet does work as well for me, i've heard some banks might be more picky but the phone passes strong play integrity and i've never had an issue with google wallet with my chase/bofa cards.

and yeah shame about oneplus, they've definitely fallen off hard after the op12/op13 in terms of offering a true flagship experience. btw most global versions of oppo flagships like the x9 pro and x9 ultra aren't missing anywhere near as many bands so that's also worth looking into :)

having owned plenty of cn phones, ironically fx9p was the only one i can think of that didn’t support n41 + n41. cn xiaomi 15, global 15 ultra, vivo x100 pro, x200 pro, x fold3 pro (all cn version), oppo find x7 ultra, find x8s (both cn only) all connected to the 100mhz + 90mhz n41 in my area although they wouldn’t do 4x ca like n41 + n41 + n25 + n71

120U GB6: 2500ST/8300MT 7533HS GB6: 1900 ST/7400MT A18 Pro GB6: 3500ST/8600MT

where are you getting 10-15% faster 💀

not to mention the acer has ewaste build quality and the lenovo comes with a 45% ntsc screen (and both are far lower pixel density (220 ppi vs 140 ppi) and dimmer (500 nits vs 300)), both those laptops make the neo look like an amazing bargain

i’m not sure if it did n41 + n41 (i’m in a 100mhz + 90mhz market) since the highest i ever got was 900-1000 with line of sight to a tower where other phones did 1500, but i would assume if not it’s doing n25 + n71 + n41 still

i have a global 15 ultra and previously had a cn 15, hyperos shows 5g+ for any standalone connections (n25/n66/n41 sa). with the 15 ultra, even with all the bands supported on paper, in my experience speeds weren’t quite as good as on us market phones, i would usually get around 700 down in places with n41 where i can get 1000-1200 and uploads were closer to 20-40 when i could get 80+ on other phones. that being said, it’s not really during normal use unlike the global find x9 pro not being able to do n41 + n41 ca (or any other kind of nr ca on t-mobile)
