See

What are the devices supported by 5G SA? <https://www.m1.com.sg/support/faq/5g-sa-faq>
These are the 58 devices in that list (I can't vouch for its accuracy).
Yeah, I should have been more clear that for devices sold in the U.S.
it's limited to certain Samsung and iPhone devices.
The report I read stated that they weren't sure which iPhone devices
would have 5G SA capability in 16.4 and said that it might only be on
the iPhone 14 models.
I guess if you're using the phone as a hotspot that there might be some
upside to 3Gb/s speeds but it's hard to imagine the benefit of 3Gb/s
versus 500Mb/s or even 200 Mb/s for anything you'd do on the phone. This
seems like it will turn into another T-Mobile marketing campaign to
divert attention away from their coverage issues in the U.S..
I really enjoyed the T-Mobile Super Bowl commercialadvertising their
home internet <

when I checked availability it was not available in my area, in the
heart of Silicon Valley, about a mile from Apple world headquarters. The
last speed test I did on T-Mobile at my house was 23.7 Mb/s down, 1.79
Mb/s up (I have a T-Mobile eSIM in my iPhone) while my Total by Verizon
prepaid was 290 Mb/s down, 23.0 Mb/s up. Also, $50 per month is no
bargain for broadband around here.
