5G+ 5G SA Compatible Handsets

MrCable — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:20:54 GMT

I appreciate this may be a long shot, but is there any chance EE will enable more EXISITING handsets to the 5G+ list. There's a LOT out there that are compatible, some practically identical to ones already on the list. Do they take requests ??!?

(I have a OnePlus, but because they have SOME Oppo on the list, I'm not TOTALLY giving up yet...)

Hi @MrCable,

Thanks for coming to the Community!

We are always looking to add new devices to those that offer 5G+, but it is unlikely that we will be able to add older devices at this point, as they may not have the hardwire requirements that are needed.

Hi @MrCable

It is based on the radio in your device. What device do you own.

Thanks

Hello Both, thanks for your Responses!

Our Tariff has been updated and we now have at "VoNR" indicator on our handsets. We're now consistently getting over 100Mb too!

Does the fact we SEE VoNR on the devices (2 year old OnePlus 12) mean we are not only compatible, but being ALLOWED to access the 5G+ system?

A 3rd Party App shows we are on 5G(SA) Standalone!

This SEEMS to be good news? At the same time, if a two year old OnePlus is compatible, maybe a lot more devices are (no guarantee, of course).
