Many phones come in different versions and the version for, say, China may
support different bands from the one for Europe or the US.

 
Even if a phone doesn't support any particular band, there are public
databases that tell you what towers are in any given area.

Keep in mind, that cellmapper.net does not acquire the data on their
own. They rely on data provided by users of the app - and it can take a
couple of weeks or even months, until data provided by the app is
visible on the map as well:

So if cellmapper may not report 5G for a specific area because nobody
reported 5G yet even if it is available.
