What Dual SIM Android Phone buy

Hello, I'm thinking to buy a dual SIM Android phone, what's the brand and what's the best ?
NGM Droid DUO
Gigabyte GSmart G1310
Motorola XT800
any other ?
The best one is General Mobile DSTL1 (AKA SciPhone N21). It's the best one, since it is the only one. LOL
I don't know of any other dual-sim Android phone.
Nokia will launch The C2-03 model which have the ability to carry dual SIM cards.

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900 or SM-G900FD?

Hi everyone!
I've been thinking about buying the galaxy S5 for a while now.
I have finally decided to get one, more specifically the dual sim version.
Do you guys know if there is any known issue with the dual sim (SM-G900FD)?
For example, do you think that newer software versions will take longer to be released for the dual sim than the single sim?
Also, it looks like rooting the SM-G900FD is the same than rooting the SM-G900, is that right?
What about cynogen? Does it work?
Thank you for your help

I don't know exactly which model will support dual sim. But i know the brands like Huawei, ZTE, Samsung they have a big chance to support dual sim on the phones (but still don't know which model exactly)
Hauwei mate 7 what do u think of this phone?
My Sony C3 supports duel sims and I found it is good to use!
This is my second day with HAM7. I was a hardcore Samsung stickmann for years. For this dual SIM feature I went for the mate 7, from the first time I switched up this phone I found this headset is unique in away. Now I'm more wanting to see the mate 8 than the note 5 :'(
Huawei... strange name with a strong magnet

Confused about models...

Hi guys,
I'm assuming there are total 3 intl models of HAM7?
16gb/2gb silver/black
32gb/3gb gold
Monarch
Are all versions dual sim with microsd slot?
I'm looking to buy 16gb/2gb... Does this have dual sim and microsd slot? Here is the specific place from where I intend to purchase:

Id like to know this answer too. I have the 2gb model and the other tray doesnt look like its made for another sim...
The info on the web is confusing. Does this model (2gb) support another sim???
Gold 3Gb version (TL10) is dual SIM. Black and Silver 2Gb are single SIM.
Using a second SIM stops you using an SD card. The big thing is the extra RAM. On Lollipop it runs nice

Samsung Galaxy S7 model SM-930FD, Samsung Pay not supported?

I recently purchased the SM-930FD but it seems that model does not currently support Samsung Pay at least not here in the USA, is there anything I can do to get it working?

You can use Android Pay either!
Yes Android Pay works
Won't it be OK to flash the firmware of the country where it's supported?

Hello,
could you please help me to find what is the difference between 930FD (supposed to be dual sim) whereas 930F is already dual sim ?
It seems there is no single sim version for the Galaxy S7, as 930F has 2 sim slot (SIM2 can accept a SD card: SIM2 or SD card).
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7-7821.php
"microSD, up to 200 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model
microSD, up to 200 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model"
It seems Gsmarena made a mistake, so could you please confirm that 930FD has 2 sim slots plus an additional microsd card slot ?
If you can please add a picture of the dedicated sd card slot (if any), I will really appreciate it. I googled a lot the web, youtube, and can't find any information about the ability to have 2 sims + 1 microsd on the 930FD S7...
Cheers,
Fred
Hi, you cannot have both sim cards and an SD card at the same time, its either 2 sims or a sim +sd card
There is a hack available for having all 3 together but it is quite risky.

Not currently. Samsung Pay is currently only available on carrier branded phones. Samsung is supposed to be rolling out Samsung Pay in certain European countries but there is no ETA on that and it is still unknown if / when Samsung Pay will work on non-carrier branded phones anywhere.

What I've to say is The 930FD is the only dual SIM variant. 930F does not have the hardware for second SIM inside it. You can flash 930F roms to 930FD and both SIM slots would still work. Which means software-wise it's identical and is able to detect if the relevant hardware is in place.
So the second slot on the 930F is only for a microSD card.

If you want a dual SIM Samsung Pay-capable S7, your best bet might be a Singaporean model, where Samsung Pay is launching later this year, sometime in Q2 or H2, can't remember. I can recommend mobyshop.com.sg if you want to purchase, the prices are quite low at around 600 USD for the 930FD, they do international delivery too. Do most of my phone shopping from them, no problems so far.

OK, have look at this (also attached), bottom right of the picture:
http://webtrickz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/wp-1456111785260.jpeg
If I recap: 930F and 930FD are using the same "kind" of double card slot:
- 930F is 1 SIM only and has got a "dedicated" slot for microSD card
- 930FD is having the same SIM1 slot, but slot 2 can be used by either SIM2 or SD card.
Can you please confirm that 930FD is using slot 2 for SIM2 or microSD card, but not both ?
Now I understand GSMarena description:
- microSD, up to 200 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model
- microSD, up to 200 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model

Hi Fred,
Yes that's correct. FD uses a hybrid slot i.e. the second slot can be used for either a second SIM card OR a microSD card but not both.
Also you cannot take a FD tray, put 2 SIM cards and put it into an F model and expect the 2nd SIM to work (I think the tray will go in but 2nd SIM won't work since teh hardware is not present on the motherboard.).
Hope this covers your questions.
Regards,
Asanka
