Hello people,
I have a question if anyone can help me in answering
If I get the galaxy S4 (Snapdragon 800, 32 GB version) from Korea (link here), would this work in India?
I am not sure about this but the bands mentioned for 2g/3g on the seller listing are support here.
So any advice would surely be much appreciated! It would be great if anyone can help me here
Thanks!

i think snapgragon 800 supports most of the available bands, but i'm not sure if the supportive bands would be locked. I believe if you would be able to get the factory unlocked one that should work. LG G2 launched in India comes with Snapdragon 800.
IMO not worth it for the price.

Buddy, Yes it may work but as per News or so called Rumors, that After 4.4 Kitkat update, It may be region wise locked. SO, better to choose Indian Regional S4 then that as it may become pain of your ass after updating.
Hello everyone,
Anyone knows if there is any info about some phone that is going to be released in the near future with dual sim and LTE support?
Thanks.
Tell me about it.. I have been waiting for years!!
the problem with dual SIM and LTE is that the processing power required to decode the LTE signals is far grater than what we have today.
dont despair though! I just read that Mediatek is releasing a powerful 8core chip that can handle the processing load and that is Great news! I expect we will have something soon (Q3 2014)
Both the new Sony Xperia M2 and Xperia T2 Ultra support Dual Sim and LTE. :good:

ummmm.. definitely not!!
The phones you are talking about are single SIM.

The only dual SIM UE is the E1 DUAL and it's not LTE:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_e1_dual-5967.php
Trust me, there are no phones out in the market yet.
There's just no juice for LTE AND 3G dual SIM yet. I'm a telco engineer, it's my job!

I'm actually referring to their "dual" variant, the Xperia M2 Dual and Xperia T2 Ultra Dual. My mistake for missing that.
The reason I said they both support Dual SIM and LTE is based on the following announcements:-
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/press_release/xperia-m2-best-smartphone-tech-in-its-class/
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...a-6smartphone-for-large-screen-entertainment/
Sony is not very clear with their announcements on whether the "dual" variant includes LTE or not but I did saw a few articles mentioning it:-
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/sony-xperia-m2-dual-sim-4g-lte,26101.html
http://www.mobileburn.com/22423/new...debuts-with-6-inch-display-lte-and-dual-sims-
Actually the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual is not LTE:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_t2_ultra_dual-5968.php
and the specsheet:
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-t2-ultra-dual/specifications/#tabs
...and neither is the M2 Dual. Here's the Spec sheet for M2:
http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/d2302/whitepaper_EN_d2302_xperia_m2_dual.pdf
All the phone manufactures post these vague reports because the people who are creating the reports have no idea about the product specs. The LTE version is the single SIM model of these lines, the Dual Sim version only has WCDMA.
There are three main chip manufactures - Qualcom - Samsung - Mediatek. All smartphone companies carry either one of the three, or a variation of the Modem chip.
Currently, (read the first reply) there is no chip capable of handling LTE demodulation/MIMO. The processing requirements are too Damn High! (meme ref).
Mediatek though, is the first one who has announced that is building a chip that can handle the load. The Octa- Core MTK6592.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------
My next phone must be dual sim and lte and less then 6" screen. I thought to have it for my brthday in july. Is there any chance? Somebody knows for sure if that THL W11 Monkey King 2 will support lte or i should wait for MTK6595 definately? (it would be fine for me even if one sim is lte and 2nd one is 3g).
Thanks
Guys, this is an important question...How does big little actually work? Does it only uses only 4 cores at a time? I have read around and this seems to be the case, at least for current implementations.
Mtk6595 phones are coming out but if that's the case I'd rather stick with mtk6592 and have better multitasking. I don't care about 4g.
I'd like to know more about the mtk6595 :s
According to this link tough, the mtk6595 might use all eight cores simultaneously.
The principal question is if there are apps using 8 cores at the same time. You could have a powerful device with 8 cores working at the same time, yet if there aren't apps using this permormance...
M1S - Patatalk

As long as different apps use different cores, even just 2 cores per app, it is still a great deal.
I think i've found something http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4G-T...e-2G-RAM-8G-ROM-Android-4-4-5/1840816089.html . But i'm not sure if this information is real or fake because i can't find official page of the vendor
UPDATE: The brand/vendor name seems to be "Vivo"
And here's another one http://www.chinaecarts.com/samsung-...nch-mt6595-android-44-32gb-lte-4g-p-7591.html (see comments, there's a model with 2 sim and lte). Also some unknown/fake brand with no guarantee of future rom updates nor cyanogenmod...
This is a post for Dual SIM devices with LTE. Why the hdll are you posting CPU Q&A???????
Here's another one model http://hiton.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-221621342/Octa_Core_Smarphones.html which at least has official crappy website http://hightoncn.com/ .
+1, please post/search for dual sim lte devices and don't offtopic about cpu or any other features differnt to 2sim+lte in this topic
UPDATE: and there's seem to be LTE version of UMi X3 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014...-octa-core-smartphone-5-5inch/1764609798.html
Looks like Huawei Ascend P7 has dual sim version with lte http://liaow.com/huawei-ascend-p7-w-black.php
In some reviews they say that the second sim slot can also be used either for sd card or for sim card, so you can choose between additional sim or additional storage. But i don't know if it's true or there's just 2 different versions of that model: one with extra sim slot but without sd card and another is single sim but with sd card.
And the HTC One E8 Dual SIM http://www.htc.com/cn/smartphones/htc-one-e8/#/ use Google translate. Limited LTE bands however. Possible June release in China I think.

I'm afraid the same about the bands of all models that i posted above if not sold specially or officially for the countries with different bands than china's. And sure I'd like at least 3g for the second sim if i want to switch data connection to another sim. You could just interchange sims in that case but for example Huawei has one sim micro and another nano so it's impossible to do so
Yes a good bit of research is necessary!
I think I've only seen the ZOPO ZP980+ to have 3G + 3G - pretty rare to find.
I like the HTC E8... Are there any news about availability around the world? I'm from Portugal
It's only released in China so far, not sure it will be released wider, the M8 dual SIM has just been released an a few European markets. You could always import an E8, try merimobiles etotalk etc etc.

I was curious to find out what is the difference is between the Z3 models?
I was about to purchase this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221566146447...:MEBIDX:IT
But after further research i saw that different models we having an issue using 4g LTE service.
Basically is there any issue running the D5803? I have AT&T and I didn't want to risk dropping $500 on a cellphone that would be restricted by my carrier to 2G.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I would opt for the D6603 first if you can find it and swing the $ or the dual SIM D6633. D6603 has more support for LTE bands ATT and Tmo but the D6633 will also work. I have the D6633 on US Tmobile and LTE and HSPA+ service is excellent.
Thanks for the info, but what is the real difference between the D6633 and the D5803? What would i need an additional sim slot for?
I guess a better question is what are the disadvantages of the D5803?
Thanks
Looks like I figured it out the D5803 is the 4.6" display. I did not know that. Its a good thing i probed a bit deeper. Id much rather have the 5.2"
Is there any particular model of the 5.2" i should be on the look out for?
On the tmobile variant, and didnt know if it plays well with the others?
Anyone have any insight on which versions play together and which do not? Seems like the GSM/CDMA may be a difference as well as the dual sim.
Thanks.
Here is some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia_Z3
Basically, they are mostly the same, but each model uses different bands. There are five models of the Xperia Z3 variants and are as followed: d6603, d6616, d6633, and d6653. I forgot what the z3v is called but it is the one specific for Verizon which is the only model with the wireless charging. I am currently using the d6603 which is the unlocked model that works for T-Mobile and possibly AT&T. The dd16 is specifically compatible with T-Mobile and also utilizes wifi-calling and T-Mobiles 4G bands. The d6633 is the dual-sim model.
Although this doesn't explain much, I hope it helps. I'm sure you can find the rest of the information on the forum.
Hello,
Checking on the Wikipedia page for the Xperia Z3, I see that the only missing band from the D6616 and the D6633 is band 12. For ROMs for the D6633, how difficult is this to add to allow the missing 12 band to allow the D6633 ROMs to work on the D6616 devices?
The following page better compares the available components from each variant. It would appear that proper TTY is handled between the D6603 and the D6616. Perhaps this is a better comparison.
I've not built ROMs before, so please forgive if this is a no brainer for those of you that have.
Thanks!
