    I had really bad signal problems with my note 10+ 5G last year. I bought it second hand but with working from home and various lockdowns, I was mostly on WiFi and didn't notice issues. When I got a new job that required me to go in to work I found I had issues with signal. Started investigating, e.g. do a speed test on my wife's pixel 4a 5G and the note 10+ 5G, both on EE 5G, the pixel had almost full signal and 50+ Mbps, my Samsung had almost no signal and managed 0.5 Mbps. Looking online there seems to be a hardware issue with some Samsung phones where as they age they lose signal. I sent it back to music magpie under warranty and they couldn't repair, only refund.

    Could be 5G is poor. The mate 20 pro is 4G from reading its specs.

    yea I thought that so I switched it to 4/3/2 g and 4g is still low, I got a bunch of different network cards , I was hopping sim tray 2 might be better but same, I just hope it's not gone faulty after 2 years,
