At the Mobile World Congress 2023 event in Barcelona, T-Mobile announced the perfection of 5G carrier aggregation on its standalone 5G network. The company said it collaborated with Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm Technologies, and Inc. to execute the technology.

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 phone was used for the project, which aggregated four channels of the mid-band spectrum on its 5G standalone (5G SA) network. The Un-carrier also expanded VoNR to four new cities, including Cincinnati, OH; New Orleans, LA; New York, NY; and Seattle, WA.

5G standalone is the future of wireless, providing a new level of performance, faster speeds, and better response times. Meanwhile, 5G carrier aggregation allows T-Mobile to turbo-charge 5G SA speeds to deliver game-changing performance to the customers while VoNR ensures seamless 5G SA connections.

In the keynote at Mobile World Congress, T-Mobile further explained how the company is taking its nationwide 5G SA network. At the same time, it announced that T-Mobile achieved the world’s first four-carrier aggregation data call on its 5G SA network with a commercial device, reaching speeds above 3.3 Gbps.

Additionally, the Un-carrier has deployed VoNR service in four additional cities and plans to cover 100 million people with VoNR in the coming months.

Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra customers using the T-Mobile network will be among the first to experience four-carrier aggregation later this year. On the other side, the advanced 5G speed will further expand to more devices.

Various customers of T-Mobile’s network in the US are reporting that they are losing service on their Galaxy phones. Users are getting an E-Mail from T-Mobile telling them that have successfully swapped the SIM and their phone’s service getting lost.

Some customers have even called T-Mobile at their place but the representatives were confused as to why the sim changed if they have not made any related request. However, after doing some changes, the reps were able to re-activate the SIM and bring the service online.

It is worth noticing that most of these customers facing issues are early buyers of the new Galaxy S23 series phones, who pre-ordered the devices from the official website.

The representative told customers that this service disconnection was an automated system that swapped customer accounts and that this was not done at a store. It suggests that this could be a screwup from Samsung related to the recent pre-orders of the Galaxy S23.

Moreover, T-Mobile is well aware of the problem. In their recent post (via T-Mo Remort), they confirmed that some customers who recently ordered a Samsung device from Samsung.com and choose T-Mobile as the network provider are experiencing service disconnection issues.

The company further says that on a small batch of devices, Samsung activated eSIM early when processing the order and it has caused service interruption on the customer’s current device.

Sluggish One UI updates are one of the biggest concerns for Samsung consumers, residing in countries where they need to own a Galaxy device with carrier bounding for better services, such as the US. Since carrier-unlocked units are available in the country, carrier bounded network provides you with a lot better experience.

Not slow always!

It’s an undeniable truth that the network carriers of the United States rollout updates late always. Most of the time international or European models grab a new One UI update, while the US carriers become the initial distributor sometimes.

Back in December 2020, Verizon locked Galaxy S20 series devices became the first to grab the Stable Android 11-based One UI 3.0 upgrade. A day later, the European models got the same treatment, reconfirming carriers are not slow always.

Samsung and US Carriers should UNITE

No doubt, Samsung is known as the “champion of software updates” among Android vendors. The company offers OS upgrades, more than the Android maker itself, along with 5 years of security update support so you can keep your Galaxy device for a longer period.

Meanwhile, delayed software updates rollout by network carriers are barring Samsung from becoming the unbeatable OEM worldwide. Security updates come to Galaxy devices even before starting of the new month, while carrier-locked units get the same update within a month.

There are a lot of complaints by the US users of Galaxy smartphones as they need to wait for new software updates, even after Samsung started to release it for others. Network carriers certify each new Samsung firmware update before releasing it to the compatible Galaxy device.

As the company has recently promised through its blog post that the future One UI updates will be deployed faster, we want it will also apply to carrier-locked devices. If you also use a network carrier-branded Samsung device in the US, help us send our demand to Samsung by sharing it across socials!

It’s important to mention that the Galaxy A52 users, in select markets, have been updated to the new Android 13-based One UI 5.0 operating system. We are guessing the update could soon be rolled out for the carrier-unlocked models in the United States.

US carriers such as T-Mobile may take some time in certifying Samsung’s Android 13 firmware for the Galaxy A52 smartphones. However, we earlier reported that the network provider and manufacturer are working on the development of Android 13 for the Galaxy A52 devices.
