Want to know which cell phone works with 5G in Brazil? Anatel publishes list

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Anatel (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) released this week a list of handsets compatible with the 5G mobile network. After the auction, the signal is expected to reach final consumers by the middle of next year.

Among the approved handsets are the latest iPhones, Xiaomi, Motorola, and Samsung devices, and some from Asus, Nokia, Realme, and TCL. In all, there are 49 models.

To avoid pitfalls, the Agency points out that homologation is a prerequisite for the use and marketing of products in Brazil. The consumer should be aware. Homologation is essential because it ensures that the electronics have undergone tests to prevent risks such as overheating, explosion, radiation, or interference in other communication signals, for example.

A non-approved product is sold for prices much lower than others in the market, which may attract the customer, but be aware that this sale is illegal. To ensure that your device is not illegal, you should check for the presence of an Anatel seal or certification number on the body of the phone, which may also be on the box.

With this certification number, you can check the various information about your smartphone at Anatel’s Mosaic Portal. To access it, click here.

In the list of homologated handsets, Anatel informs that the mode of operation of the handsets is 5G, and only three will work with 5G DSS, which uses frequencies used by 3G and 4G. They are Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, Xiaomi Mi 10T, and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro.
