I haven’t read through this whole thread but want to share a few phones that work great with /e/ in the USA and a few you should avoid. I have personally used each of these phones with /e/. I hope this saves someone the headache and $$$ it cost me (great learning for me and worth the $$$ expense however).
AVOID, as of July 31, 2021 no VoLTE or VoWiFi support. When supported I WOULD recommend:
- Samsung Galaxy S9 “starlte” Exynos processor (Qualcomm model can’t be used)
- Samsung Galaxy S9+ “star2lte” Exynos processor (Qualcomm model can’t be used)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 9 “crownlte” Exynos processor (Qualcomm model can’t be used)
Work Great/Good:
- OnePlus 6T “Fajita”, VoLTE and VoWiFi functioning
- Motorola G7+ “Lake”, VoLTE and VoWiFi functioning
- Teracube 2e (/e/Store or Self Flash)VoLTE functioning devs should have VoWiFi functioning soon.
