VoNR needs 5G SA network afaik, DNB operates in NSA right now

Currently DNB uses n78 3500MHz

The phone also must support LTE band 28 700MHz as anchor band/control plane because DNB currently operates 5G NSA (non-standalone network), which relies on 4G LTE to operate

I meant LTE band 28, NOT 5G n28 as anchor band

If phone has LTE band 28, it is likely to work on DNB's 5G if the phone also supports 5G n78

That's how I figured out DNB operates in NSA mode

Maybe yes, idk if DNB explicitly only allows devices listed on its website

Maybe someone can try... I'm not in Klang Valley atm and don't have 5G device to test

Anyone with Samsung on DNB's 5G can post screeenshots from ServiceMode (*#0011#)?

Still no 5G?

If not, it seems like DNB/Yes only allows device listed on their website.

That guy on Facebook posted screenshots from Network Cell Info Lite, which confirms that DNB is indeed using NSA mode (LTE band 28 as anchor band/control plane)

The only problem is Network Cell Info Lite doesn't support displaying 5G bands/signals

And yes, he also confirms that video streaming is capped at 1.5Mbps like regular YES Kasi Up RM30 plan

That sucks... heard somewhere that 5G in Samsung devices sold in Malaysia is disabled via software, it could be the case

Time to wait then......

Someone already mapped the DNB's LTE anchor band in CellMapper, no 5G data yet. Each sector has 2x20MHz bandwidth, looks like they aren't using 5G n28 yet because DNB only got that much bandwidth for 700MHz

Try download something big from Google Play/AppGallery

That sucks then, kenot enjoy full 5G speed

I think I already saw someone complaining about
getting 5G logo but speeds like 4G, most likely this is why.

can anyone check the fast dot com speeds on 5G? I heard Yes fixed the cap on 5G prepaid

Pendakwah Teknologi guy posted the updated video. Apparently Yes contacted him after he published the (now deleted) previous video and the next morning he woke up with notification saying Yes fixed the speed cap issue on 5G prepaid.

Check if the phone is actually connected to 5G with NetMonster app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...czis.netmonster . It shouldn't say something like "5G NSA disconnected" if the phone did connect to 5G

Also the previous speeds that you showed is definitely from your Maxis fibre connection, there is no way the ping can be like that on 5G NSA

No, that is just how 5G NSA works... could be 5G signal too weak to connect

Maybe try get closer to the 5G tower?

You can't, the phone will show no signal. It's only possible when DNB starts using 5G Standalone network. 5G NSA that DNB uses relies on 4G LTE to operate.

And yes, the phone did connect to DNB tower (only DNB holds 700MHz spectrum atm) but not 5G portion of it.

Samsung disabled 5G via software, wait for them to push a software update that enables 5G

See post #117 on this thread

Fun fact: DNB's LTE band 28 700MHz seems to support 4x4 MIMO
