I am using the HONOR 500 Pro China Version (MEP-AN00) in Bangladesh (outside China).
I tested Robi 5G at a location where another 5G phone successfully connects to 5G NSA.
HONOR 500 Pro:
LTE B3
eNB: 130433
CID: 16
PCI: 298
TAC: 48102
EARFCN: 1399
Status: LTE only
Other 5G phone at the same location:
Same LTE eNB: 130433
Same CID: 16
Same PCI: 298
Same TAC: 48102
Same EARFCN: 1399
5G NSA connected
NR ARFCN: 528990 (n41)
SS RSRP: ~-96 dBm
SS RSRQ: ~-12 dB
SS SNR: ~7 dB
Both phones are connected to the same Robi LTE anchor/cell, but the other phone establishes 5G NSA n41, while the HONOR 500 Pro remains LTE-only.
Please investigate whether the China-version MEP-AN00 has any firmware, PLMN, carrier-policy or EN-DC restriction preventing 5G NSA when used outside China, specifically on Robi Bangladesh.
