Anthony707hp, 22 Nov 2021Does anyone know why 5g doesn't work in the US on this phone? I don't understand sin... moreThe cell modem doesn't support the bands that are available in the United States. It does, however pick up the 5G bands in Europe. So it is but isn't a 5G phone. I have it and LTE-A is still very fast, and stable vs the standard LTE phones.

    Currently utilizing Dual Sim, DSDS..... FTW.
    It gobbles battery a bit, still pretty good.

            captain fokou, 30 Sep 2021Now do the same for Apple, Samsung, huawei, xiaomi, oppo, vivo, oneplus... I've had several other brands of phones and only one bad Samsung for reception, which I think was the Note 3. I've had several Sony 5ii and they all have weak indoor signals. The latest update has possible helped the reception but the facts remain it's the poorest phone I've owned for reception. Even taken the SIM out and tried it in my mates cheap Chinese phone and it gets faster and more stable speeds compared to a so called premium phone. I wish it was better since it's got a SD slot and headphone jack which is the only reason I got it. Just look at the resale value of this phone that tells you everything, nobody wants them apart from Sony fan boys.

My problem is not the WiFi connectivity, it is my web provider that there are disruptions in the actual service.

                          Hopefully you find a phone that suits your needs. This device knocks it out of the park for me.

                                  5 ii already out of stock in my region and sony store seem to have no plan of replenishing stock,probably mean production line of mark ii stop already even with mark iii not coming out yet.
                                  5 ii is a great phone, one of the best(if not the best) phone sony has made in the last few years. orginally planned to get 5 ii later the year but it seems I have to go for 10 iii now

                                      GoToSchool, 28 Jul 2021That's unfortunate, I haven't had reception problems. I know some have mentioned it.... moreI loved this phone and used since new. I use dual-sim configuration since I don't like carrying 2 phones and want a lightweight solution. This was it.
                                      Unfortunately, after an update, dual-sim started having bugs. The main bug is when you have two sims, try to call anyone from any sim, the phone loses network signal on both sims right away. The network comes back in 2 minutes but this bug makes you not able to call anyone and have to rely on calling apps like Whatsapp.
                                      Sony released an update to fix this issue but it didn't work on my phone even after factory reset. A great phone otherwise, such a shame. It is fine in single-sim use though.
