The American technology market is very allergic to Chinese products for reasons best known to the market. While some say the products are fake, others say these products are spies for the Chinese government. When banning Huawei and ZTE, the American government claims that products from these companies will compromise national security. Thus, selling a Chinese technology product in the American market is not smooth sailing. Chinese manufacturer, OnePlus officially confirmed the compatibility of the OnePlus 10T with North American operators.
Starting in the US, the OnePlus 10T will support all major US carriers’ 4G and 5G bands for the first time. Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile are all on board. However, the OnePlus 10T does not support mmWave 5G. In Canada, only Bell and Telus will support both 4G and 5G networks. Meanwhile, Rogers and Freedom customers can expect 4G support on the OnePlus 10T.
