5G SA locations & icon symbol?

[Clever_Trevor]

Hi,

I see that O2 pushing forward with 5G standalone. 

I finally see my sim SA enabled. 

do we see any 5G symbol when using SA ( as on EE says 5G+ when using SA. )

also. They stated 500 cities live SA. So we have a list. 

thanks,

There arent 500 cities in the UK, so think you mean 500 towns and cities,  https://www.o2.co.uk/5g has the list.. 

What phone are you using as on my Honor and Z Fold 7, I havent noticed any change in icon...

My Pixel does not show the difference between SA and NSA 

nPerf does when I use it for a speed check

Hi,

thankyou. 
so, I have iPhone 17 pro. 
if I use my EE sim in SA area it say 5G+ 

was wondering if O2 is the same. 

as I see they are pushing SA a lot & extra spectrum 

cheers,

The new spectrum is a 2026 / 2027 thing and will only be to a select number of large cities..  And to be honest you wont notice much difference..
