I’m looking for an upgrade on my CDMA carrier in the US and it really seems like my only options are Samsung, Pixle, Motorola, or IOS.

Am I missing something or do companies just not support this technology?

I got excited about the zenphone 10, but it looks like it is GSM only.

    Can confirm here, am on Verizon and they 100% support fully-GSM devices assuming the LTE bands line up.

    (I’ve had Oneplus 6T, 7T, and Sony Xperia 5 ii on Verizon, all of which are not CDMA compatible)

      Thank you for your response. Did you have any issues with 5g on any of these phones?

        Everything works except wifi calling which Verizon only allows whitelisted IMEIs to do. VoLTE, visual voicemail, etc all work fine.

        I’ve never tried mmWave 5G (no coverage where I live), but regular 5G works fine.
