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:

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.

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.

Just wonder if the dual sim model is a dual full active like HTC M7, Desire 600/700 Huawei Mate8/P9 which you don't need to do a forward call the second sim when you are on call for the first sim?
Can anyone confirm this?

Hi,
I preordered a sim-only p20 from carphonewarehouse in the UK. Everywhere it says it's a dual sim phone as standard, but have heard contradicting things on posts online.
If you received yours in the UK, is it dualsim or not?
many thanks

Hi,
I pre-order mine in O2 (UK) as they were one of two reselers that supposed to have dual sim version (second was Three), that was at least according to oficial uk huawei site, when you could pick color version: single/dual sim and then list of reselers appeared.
Today I got mine and it is a single sim, even they have ensured my it is dual, I have opened the box at home to see that sim tray has only one slot, second one is kinda blocked.
My model: EML-L09
FCC ID: QISEML-L09
I have checked in the settings if that's only the sim tray that I need to change to dual sim, however there is no option at all regarding dual sim, as I have in my dual sim huawei nova, so software also doesn't support it in this version.
Going to return it tomorrow, or replace with dual sim, if they have it.

It will be surely single SIM from cpw, Voda, EE, 3, O2 etc , dual SIM are only if you buy from Huawei direct and from some other retailer

Received mine yesterday from CPW UK and it is only single SIM card.
Three UK are dual sim models
I'll get mine tomorrow, will return if single sim straight away.
unless there is an adapter one could buy to make it dual SIM
Does anybody know if the model EML-L09 is the single or dual sim model?
I'd rather leave it wrapped unless it was the dual sim model.
Many thanks

As far as I know, only Three in the UK sell the dual SIM version. Their prices are higher than all other providers, but I wanted the dual SIM so went with Three. My model is L29
Singke/dual SIM...

I think only L29 is dual sim. That's mine...
Today after 2 weeks! I have received oficial reply from Huawei, how to distinguish which one is dual sim:
"Regarding you question, please be informed that on the original box of the devices you can found two IMEI numbers (the number has 15 digits and it starts with 86). If they appear on the box means that the device is dual SIM."
Cheers
Can anyone confirm the difference between the l-09 and l-29 in terms of uk useability? Will both work fine on all uk networks or is one a global/non global version etc that will only work in some countries.
Not bothered about single/dual sim atall- is that the only difference?
Thanks
Does the Snapdragon model that will be released in US come with dual SIM at least since Samsung removed microSD from smaller Note10 ?

There is no dual SIM here. It has been confirmed for US territories. .
No dual sim. It's just a much longer tray with a small opening for the sim.
I just heard it from one of the reviewers and I needed to confirm it from one of the experts here

Nope..you can just have 5g on one sim card available. Second sim can be still used for phone calls etc..
Hint: i am no expert...but common sense should apply
Yes 5g will disable other sim.Just tested

so you say when 5g is enabled, phone is only single sim? I thought one 4G + one 5G. Could you please try if SIM2 can work with 5G? or 5G has to be SIM1?

When 5g is enabled, phone is only single sim and sim1or2 doesn't really matter.
Yes poco said that when you use 5G phone will be single sim till they will give update that will make 1 sim 5G and other will be 4G
You just have to read the user guide.........
About Dual SIM:
• Supports Dual SIM cards with no carrier restrictions, single 5G or dual 4G
connectivity ①
• Supports Dual Nano-SIM card slots, either card can be set as the primary
card
• Supports single SIM 5G/4G+/4G/3G/2G
• Supports Dual SIM 4G+/4G/3G/2G
• Supports Dual SIM VoLTE HD calling ②
Note ①: 5G support depends on the local telecom operator’s network; if
the primary card 5G is enabled, the secondary card will not be available;
subsequent software upgrades will include support for primary 5G and
secondary 4G/3G/2G card mode function in dual-card situations.
Note ②: VoLTE service availability depends on the local telecom operator’s
network and service deployment
Not so complicate....
So according to the user manual dual sim support while 5g enabled is coming with a future update? the phone is five months old, did the promised update come through yet? are all other ROMs available for this device have the same issue?
The promised update is yet to come .

The phone was launched 5 months ago but probably due to the pandemic there is surprisingly little development and discussion from the community's side. Barely 4 roms.
I have been waiting 2 months now to upgrade because there is no way I ever use MIUI.
Last week LineageOS was released, but it's Android 10, and only initial build.
I will probably wait or lineageOS 18 before I buy this phone, but this means waiting few months the way things are going.
Dont forget that very few people use dual sim on their phone... Not a priority to fix ;o)

I would say there are more dual sim users than 5G users, maybe that's it.
