You probably have seen 4G+ on your handset. Basically that is carrier aggregation by combining 2 bands to boost speeds. Some of the common combinations of a 2 CA include Band 3 + Band 7 (1800+2600). Some telcos even have 3 CA that includes Band 8 + Band 3 + Band 7 (900+1800+2600).

Singtel launched 5G+ today but their definition is that it now includes 700 MHz. Singtel 5G+ is an enhancement to the 5G network and the next evolution of 5G.

This network innovation includes the 700MHz spectrum — on top of the usual 2.1GHz and 3.5GHz bands and delivers a better combination of speed, capacity and coverage.

Enjoy extensive coverage even deep indoors, from underground carparks to lifts, with increased signal strength by up to 40%.

According to Singtel, your device is 5G SA must be compatible and 5G SA settings must be switched on.

From the description above, we would define 5G+ refers to 5G Carrier Aggregation (5G CA), depending on the carrier and region. Usually in the case of 5G+, we are referring to 5G SA bands. A common combination will be n28+n78 (700+3500) to boost coverage and speed.

It is important to note that there is no official definition of 5G+, the operator might trigger a 5G+ icon when it see a 5G running on C band or probably 5G SA 2CA depending on how it defines it in the firmware. Depending on the phone, it might not even show a 5G+ icon.
