Xiaomi phones support 5G networks and may allow users to switch between 5G NSA (non-standalone) and 5G SA (standalone), depending on the phone model and software version. 5G SA provides a purer 5G experience, but it requires carrier support and corresponding network coverage. Here are the general steps to set up 5G SA mode on your Xiaomi phone::
Open the Settings app
Find and open the Settings app on your Xiaomi phone.
Go to Network Settings
In the settings menu, find and select "SIM & Mobile Network" or similarly named option.
Select the SIM card
If your phone supports dual SIM, select the SIM card you want to set up for 5G.
Go to the 5G settings
Find the settings options related to 5G. This is usually in the "Mobile Network" or "Network Mode" settings.
Select the network mode
In the network mode settings, you may see several options like "5G Priority", "5G Only", "5G 4G 3G 2G Auto", etc. If there is an option for 5G SA mode, select it.
If there is no option clearly identified as "SA", selecting "5G First" or "5G Only" may cause the device to use SA mode when available.
Save the settings and restart your phone if needed
After you change the settings, you may need to restart your phone for the changes to take effect.
Network coverage: Make sure that your region supports 5G SA networks. Not all regions have 5G SA coverage, and some places may have only 5G NSA or no 5G coverage.
Carrier support: Your mobile operator needs to support 5G SA. Not all carriers offer SA services.
Software Updates: Make sure your Xiaomi phone is running the latest software version. Sometimes, support and setting options for 5G networks are added or modified in a software update.
Compatibility: Not all Xiaomi phones support 5G SA. Please check your device's specifications to confirm that it supports 5G SA.
If you can't find the option for 5G SA in the settings, or if you have questions about the network, it is recommended to contact Xiaomi customer service or your mobile operator for more specific help and information.
