I'm looking for an upgrade on my CDMA carrier in the US and it really seems like my only options are Samsung, Pixle, Motorola, or IOS.

Am I missing something or do companies just not support this technology?

I got excited about the zenphone 10, but it looks like it is GSM only.

Its not that I want it. Its what my carrier uses. I would consider changing, but I'd have to get my family to cone with me.

Verizon. It sounds like they specifically don't have the 13 band.

I think you may want to talk to Verizon and make sure you’re clear on network requirements before you buy a new phone - Verizon shut down the remainder of their CDMA network on December 31, 2022.

Furthermore, Verizon supports LTE and 5G-NR which are GSM technologies, so any modern unlocked phone should work without issues.

Thank you for your response on this. I'll dig in a bit to see if this will work or not.
