IMHO.
Means still the same. I purposely keep one Simba to see if they have "progress" since the early beginning.

Early beginning is when? 4g era?
For me one year ago not working now quite smooth surfing. Very impressive different.

Speed is good, but looks like still 4G speed. For iphones if you set to '5G Auto', it is possible that in an area with 5G coverage but not actually connected to 5G, iphone 'Auto' thinks you have the ability to use 5G, thus displaying a 5G logo (for example you on starhub 5G plan, when you are not actively downloading, iphone will idle on 4G and display 5G).

Set to '5G On' will not have this behaviour

I don’t think Simba has got rights to use the 3.5Ghz band for 5G. So it’s not fair to compare raw data rates between the 5G NR at 3.5Ghz (ST,SH,M1) and NR 2100 Used by all 4 MNOs.

You need to tell us exactly which phone model you have.

Opps I am using Huawei P30 Pro. Suspect that it might be only HW phone only. I have raised it to CS but still pending their response but so far I didn't installed it yet and everything still works fine. So gotta ignore it.
