Looking at Moto G 2nd Gen (5" version). Here in UK is available as a 4G version, or as a dual SIM version but this is only 3G.
Is there a 4G dual SIM 2nd Gen available anywhere? If so why isn't it available in UK?
I want a dual SIM as I'll use it abroad, and would be perfect to use with a 3 UK SIM for the "feel at home" offer where you can use unlimited data abroad in certain countries.
If not I'll have to just get the 3G version, but wondering why Motorola either don't do a 4G dual SIM and/or why not available in UK.
Thanks
There's no 4G Dual Sim version anywhere.

Ah thought I'd seen on wiki that there was, maybe mistaken then...
Why? Is it a technical issue? Do you think one will come soon?
Thanks

It's upto Motorola.They didn't want to make such variant and so they haven't made it.
XT1072 - Retail UK / EU - Single-SIM - 8GB
XT1077 - Retail China - CDMA2000 - Dual-SIM - 8GB / 16GB
XT1078 - Retail Brazil - Dual-SIM - 8GB / 16GB
XT1079 - Retail China - TD-SCDMA - Dual-SIM - 8GB / 16GB​Factory firmware images exist for these models. Google the model numbers and you will see Dual-SIM is for sale in Brazil and China.

Unsure what all the numbers/letters mean, are they 4G 2nd Gen dual SIM?

True they can do what they want, but UK 4G is getting better now, so strange that don't offer it, too me people will be out of, and look elsewhere if the phone is limited to 3G in today's market

I mention four different models above. Three out of the four are Dual-SIM. It is only the European version that is Single-SIM.

They are all definitely 4G / LTE. Those are the model numbers for the Moto G (2015) 4G / LTE phone.
So out is possible, so why on earth do us in UK only have a 3G dual SIM version? Are the band's not compatible to UK or something?

Model no. XT1072 is being sold in the UK. That model is a Moto G (2015) 4G and is compatible with UK 4G.

I've said twice already; the only version being sold by retailers in UK / Europe is Single-SIM. Maybe that will change in the near future, or maybe you can get the Dual-SIM version through an importer on Amazon.
Here is a UK retailer selling XT1072 (Single-SIM 4G)
http://www.tesco.com/direct/motorol...-black/562-4468.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=562-4468
Sorry for confusion. Yes I know that the 4G single SIM is available in UK, Amazon UK etc, I specifically now want dual SIM though.
As it's a backup and holiday phone, having dual SIM is ideal. I wanted, for future proofing, a 4G dual SIM.
If can't get a 4G dual SIM, I'd rather get a 3G dual SIM, just if the 4G dual SIM was coming, officially to UKxbox I'd wait a bit.
Thanks

Hi gals and guys
Need your opinion and advice.
I reside in Southeast Asia and I have 2 mobile nos using GSM netowrk.
Note 2 with dual SIM cards version will be launched in China in Dec 2012.
Should I buy the LTE or dual SIM cards version?
My personal opinions are:-
- dual SIM cards ohone makes sense since I have 2 mobile nos;
- LTE's 4G can roam in countries using the same spectrum, hence 4G feature is almost redundant;
- But LTE is the latest technology.
What will you recommends?
Thanks and appreciate in advance.
I have the ZP900 with the 1gb ram & 4gb ROM internal.
It is a fantastic phone both using single or dual sim.
Easy to root and does everything you would want from a phablet.

Which part of south east asia are you from?
If you like Samsung phones you can try the Galaxy S duos I believe from what i read is that the Note dual sim is sold only in China.
Besides that there might be some Google apps are not included in the phone. Hve to check up on that though..
Does anyone know the best place/price to get an unlocked version of the Moto G with Dual SIM capabilities? And do you know if there is anything else that is different about this model besides the dual SIM capabilities?

Hi,
I already saw the Moto G dual SIM version XT1033 available in the most popular online retailers, it's around US$250 and as far as I know there are not major differences between the single and dual SIM version.
Regards.

I'm fairly certain the XT1033 has the same band support as the XT1032, not the XT1034.
AWS support is not, to my knowledge, available in dualsim.

Hello,
I'm not completely sure about which frequencies the XT1033 handles for 3G. I only know that it works by using the HSDPA protocol. When you refers AWS, you mean Advanced Wireless Service? If yes, do you know if there's a difference between the protocols HSDPA and HSDPA+?
Thanks in advance
After owning a dual-sim Moto G2, I knew I wanted a G3 with dual sims and 2GB RAM (16GB ROM). Unfortunately this isn't available in the UK so I bought one from eBay which came from a seller in India.
I don't NEED 4G as I have a mobile hotspot which works very well, but I don't take this everywhere with me. Is it possible to flash the modem or something to get 4G in the UK using this model?
Thanks,
Marc

This isn't just a modem thing, flashing a different modem will not enable the missing bands, that "feature" is buried deep in a secure partition of the device... And since there isn't a dual SIM 4G 16GB model in your country, until someone figures out how to unlock all the LTE bands in the device, there is no way to enable this at this time.

Thanks, I thought it was a long shot. I wasn't sure of the correct terms but I've just searched for "unlock lte bands" and it seems to have been done for some models, fingers crossed someone figures it out for the G3!
Cheers

What network are you using I've got ee and Vodafone as I too brought from India and I get 4g signal wherever I go on ee and Vodafone when a 4g area as India uses all but one UK band

Really?!? Wow maybe I can get this working then. A Wikipedia page (I can't post links just yet) says that India has 2300MHz (band 40) 4G frequency, whereas UK has 800, 1800 and 2600MHz according to a PC Advisor link which I also can't post
I'm on O2 (both sims - I know, a bit daft but that's what I've got) and I've confirmed 4G is enabled on both sims. I guess the frequency that India don't use, is the 800MHz one that O2 uses, yes? Sods law if so. But I'll be porting my number to another network ASAP if that is right..
Thanks
Hi,
I want to buy an S7 from Amazon.com that works in all Europe (I am for a while in USA, but I live in Europe), but from what I see not all versions are Dual Sim. Nevertheless, the Dual Sim I found was for Asia/Africa and not for Europe.
I would greatly appreciate some help in order to make sure I order the right version. It's quite confusing with all the Asian regions and dual/single sim version
The 930FD version (iT's The international Model) work fine in Europe. It's the model with Exymos cpu.
It probably will work fine in the US too but not on all networks
it will work if it is a international version

On amazon is shows up as Samsung Galaxy S7 Dual Sim Factory Unlocked Phone 32 GB - Internationally Sourced (Middle East/Afican/Asia) Version G930FD Dual Sim- Black Oynx.
This is what confuses me. It says INTERNATIONALLY SOURCED but it spacifies only Africa/Asia

I think that Middle East/Africa/Asia are the regions where is sold officially.
Anyway, you won't have problems in any country with the Dual SIM version.

Hi guys, I have dual sim.international model too (G930FD) and my biggest problem is that it just have two modes on camera: Automatic and Panoramic. Why can not find slow motion mode, pro mode and all the rest?? Is the same for you or is it just me missing some settings??
Any suggestions please??
hey guys, i'm looking to buy one of this. I know there is international verison (64gb) and chinese version (32gb and 128gb). Which version support LTE network in canada? thanks
International support more bands so should be better.
I have the Chinese Mate 9 in Canada, and works fine on Wind / Freedom Mobile. Haven't tried the other carriers.
You could always look up the compatibility of the Mate 8 to Canada's networks from last year, I highly doubt they've taken away compatibility in the new version. Willmyphonework.net didn't have an entry for the Mate 9 in their database yet, last time I checked. :/

There are 2 Chinese variants (TL00, AL00) which won't support Canadian LTE bands. L09, L29 (dual sim) is ok. Check this out: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=device&s=compare&ids=10928.10923.10918.10917
