Help S21 - L1 and L5 GPS ?

whois

Lurker
Has anyone installed GPSTEST (GPSTest - Apps on Google Play), free, on the s21? Supposedly the s21 has GPS capability of L1 and L5 (much more precise GPS location).

I do not want to do the trade in special (S7 to S21), if the S21 is not picking up both L1 and L5. With the trade in specials, you do not get you phone back, if you cancel out of the deal.

Very rough and ready test with GPSTest and GPS Status & Toolbox.

Test done, indoors, in the sunny Cotswolds of England on the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.

Hope it helps
 
Be careful, apparently the ultra offers dual frequency but not the simple S21 version ! Tested by someone on Reddit on the Exynos version.
