I just bought an s20 FE 5G US set, I realize I only get 2 bars of signal at 4g not 4g+. Is this supposed to happen? Or is my unit faulty?

This is my phone model. Noticed the bands are slightly different when compared to the international edition. Does this makes a difference?

for the interest of testing, if you can get another local unit to test that would be great.

Could be due to different 4G bands.
