Hi,
T-Mobiles version connects to RCS servers provided by T-Mobile whereas the unbranded phone would connect directly via Jibe / Google.
I've had the T-Mobile version a few days now and have had challenges with RCS messages (loss of RCS connection, messages failing to send / deliver, slowness sending / receiving). None of which when I was previously on a different unlocked device where RCS is provided by Jibe.
The phone and Google play system updates are sitting in may 2023. Is there a plan to provide more timely system updates w/ bug fixes and the latest security patches?
Thanks!
