Why say what you don't know?? Makes you sound dumb.

LTE SIMs can access 5G with the proper hardware... I guess you don't know about the different variations of 5G network

4G sim card can only be compatible with a 5g network if it is a 5g NSA(Non-Standalone) Network. And it uses LTE Technology. 4g sim card is not compatible with 5g SA(Standalone) since it is not using the 4g LTE Technology. The advantage 5g NSA Have over 5g SA Is that it is cheaper. The disadvantage of 5g NSA is that it needs both 4g and 5g which consume lots of power and drains your phone battery life faster than 4g lte. Another disadvantage of 5G NSA is that it doesn't have cool features of real 5g like lower latency(which is good for streaming games online and video call ). So MTN is using 5G NSA.

You'll have to upgrade your sim before enjoying the 5G.

Its only available for WiFi now

Abeg check this out I don't understand this 5g band of these two phones, which is better

Cool

MTN's 5G band is N78. Both phones up there support the band.

chingle5:

the two phone support low and mid band 5g(Sub-6Ghz) but does not support high band 5g(mmWave). They both uses mediatek dimensity 810 (6nm), and it can reach a peak download speed of 2.77 Gbs (if our carrier can offer that speed).

Is this true? Upgrade 4G sim to enjoy 5G?

Chemistdavy:

Wrong. No need to upgrade sim to 5G. Just get a 5G compatible device, with support for 5G band N78.

All MTN 4G sims are 5G ready.

That's what one of thier staff told me

I've got the Motorola G51 5G device that supports the MTN 5G band but It's not receiving MTN 5G signal

Where is your location? Are others with 5G Xiaomi, iPhone devices around you getting 5G reception?

Lagos state. I'm within the coverage areas
I don't know anyone with a 5G device
Is there a way to force 5G only on this device. I know how to select band on mediatek but the device is SD

dustmalik:

Have you tried checking your network settings to see if 5G is among the selected network type?

I don't know how.
Does SD have an engineering app like mediatek?

5G/LTE Debugging information

I was erroneously banned yesterday, hence why I couldn't reply your comments.

Now, I am surprised that 5G isn't listed among the network types, even though your device is 5G. However, you may dial *#*#4636#*#* to access the Phone information menu. Then select the one that represents your MTN sim. Now, scroll down and select 'NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA' option. See screenshot below for reference.
Hopefully, it works for you.

From the image I sent earlier from 5G Debugging information, it seems the 5G software isn't enabled.
I saw a post online where Motorola pushed 5G OTA update to users in India only

UPDATE: I got 5G service from Airtel on my device today. Airtel 5G is active around Ikeja Lagos.
I've still not gotten 5G service from MTN yet.

For inquiries, does MTN also use N78 for it's 5G band?
