I just bought an export set from carousell as I wanted a larger base memory. Really liking this phone. 😍 Fit in the hand is excellent.

Everything has been improved. Watching Netflix is a joy and the speakers are nice and loud.

I was told that it is a TW set and I wasn't expecting volte out of the box, though the SIM settings with Singtel shows 4G calling. Doesn't seem to be working though. Anyone who has the export set got it working for the local telcos?

nope... i think 5g will be an issue too...

Not just 5G, I think carrier aggregation (CA) may have issue too.... Do you see 4G+ or always 4G only?

I see 4G+ with Singtel. I'm thinking of flashing with SEA firmware 🤔 to get volte but not sure if it will brick the phone.

I have no luck flashing the newer phones.. I have flashed the older XZ2 from one country to another before.. but not the Xperia 1 ii..

I renewed my contract with a 5g Samsung s21 and got a new sim card.. So i assume that Sim is 5g?
