Asked 4 years ago by neige.
- Answer AT&T, no (it lacks the 2 mmWave bands AT&T uses) but Verizon, yes (although, only on the Sub-6GHz network since, again, this phone appears to lack mmWave).

QuestionWhy does the release date show as 9/26 on Best Buy, but the release date on other sites shows 8/19?

QuestionSince the phone is unlocked. Does it support Wi-Fi calling over Verizon? My last Samsung note unlock phone did not have the option while the Verizon version did.
Asked 4 years ago by Logitech.
- Answer That is a bogus answer you received from the other person. Wifi calling is a feature that can be implemented by either the manufacturer or carrier of your service. I know this because I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10+ and it was the unlocked variant. I added my existing sim card to it and wifi calling was in the options setup. My girlfriend has a Sony XZ2 Compact and it isn't an option. I also had the XZ Premium and it did not have wifi calling either. My Pixel 5 also has wifi and I bought the unlocked variant as well. Like I said Sony is just dropping the ball with wifi calling. I know this because the Xperia 1 II didn't include it either. I'm sure the Xperia 1 III won't have it as well. That being said I still pre ordered and will just take my pixel along with me in case I need that feature when traveling and if I have to I'll swap my sim card. It's amazing Sony gets so much right but they leave out such an important feature.

QuestionHas anybody that pre ordered this from best buy actually get it yet? I ordered mine July 15 and haven't heard a peep about it when those who ordered through Sony on that date got theirs already.
Asked 4 years ago by SBnemesys.
- Answer Nope, Best Buy seems to be doing their Best to ghost everyone on this. I ordered mine on July 6 and have received only one update highlighting the mid Aug release dates. Call/chat with customer service and they have zero info in front of them to provide any insight. If Sony is not diligently updating major vendors like Best Buy shame on them. If this extends into October I'm done. Only so much patience for this product and lack of customer information. I did receive the headphones by the way, which are nice. But would have rather received the phone and be left wondering where the headphones were.

QuestionWill this phone support Indian Sim card if I buy It from US
Asked 3 years ago by Kaduvetti.
- Answer It should. I've switched between 4 different services now since I've owned mine, and traveled internationally to Japan, Mexico, and Ireland with no issues. Since the SIM compatibility is unlocked, and the phone is CDMA and GSE compliant, you shouldn't have any issues regardless of carrier.

QuestionIs the phone compatible with cricket 5G?
Asked 3 years ago by Maria.

QuestionThe model designation is XQBC62, which is supposed to be a dual-SIM device (X in designation). But specs for the US model don't mention dual-SIM capability. Meanwhile, B&H sells unlocked XQ-BC62 as dual-SIM device. So, is this dual-SIM or not?
Asked 3 years ago by Montmorency.
- Answer It is a dual sim device, but 2nd sim slot is shared with mSD expansion card. So you can only have dual sims if you don't have mSD or mSD and a single sim.
