A bit false. Currently have the L04 and it has dual sim. Getting the L09 will have more bands for Europe and L04 has more bands for the US. That's the key difference. Other than that it's basically the same phone.

You are right, other people said it was singel-sim and i check the user guide of L04 and it says dual-sim, have u tested? I have L09 version.

I tested it once to see how it all worked and I can at least confirm that it works. The only downside was that I was not used picking which sim to make calls from or send messages from. Neat feature but not a necessity for me
I still don't get it, why huawei is commercializing the honor 8 as a single Sim phone when it's able to be dual Sim

Maybe cause the phone was made for millennials. Like they said in their announcements! Which means most "teens" who buy the phone will not really care about the second sim card slot cause they won't need them.
No but out of all seriousness they advertised it as one nano sim and one nano sim/ sd card. Just because it has an sd slot in the place of second sim people will probably not even acknowledge it cause well.. let's be honest, more memory is rather nice

Well I'll be damned.. Mine is the L09 and my brothers is the L04. I somehow got those mixed up but I guess that explains a lot ;P Consider all of my statements invalid! Honest mistake since they both look like the exact same phone ._.

I just picked up the FRD-L04 today, and it has a dual SIM tray - the 2nd slot doubles as a Micro SD slot, so you have to choose between two SIM cards and extra storage capacity.

It is confirmed that the L04 does NOT have dual sim, only 1 sim and sd card. Check the picture in post above! L09 and L19 have dual sim.

As far as I remember, one owner of honor 8 put two sim cards in his phone (L04), he called the number of the second slot and it did work, but it didn't show up on the phone.

Actually, that is incorrect. The second SIM card slot doubles as a Micro SD slot. From the Honor website:
SIM slot
SIM card 1(Main card): LTE FDD/ TD-LTE/ WCDMA/GSM/EGSM/DCS/PCS;
SIM card 2(Share with microSD card): GSM/EGSM/DCS/PCS
Given that I've already used dual SIM cards in the phone successfully, I'd say your information is incorrect...

As i showed u a picture from the user guide u cant have 2 sim in L04 version only if u have L09 version. So u must have the L09 version.
Can u show me a pic of your modell under Settings - About phone.

We need someone brave who can crossflash it with SrkTool Huawei, change oeminfo and custom, then flash L09 firmware. It's possible with P8 Lite and P9 Lite, but not P9 L09 singel sim vs P9 L29 dual sim. Who is brave to do it?

Not to mention where to get the second IMEI
Hello,
I have the MHA-AL00 and since the last 2 firmware updates the auto-rotation stopped working.
I've tried the hard reset (by the way the backup does not store account information and other stuff - had to configure lot's of stuff again by hand after restore) and the problem remains.
It's not rooted, because It's still brand new (7 days old).
One thing I did not try was to wipe the cache partition. would it help?
Also, is there a simple way to install the European firmware? Lot's of apps are in Chinese and it's not possible to change the language...
Thanks.
Cheers.

How to enable dual sim Indian variant Honor 8 L02
Does it even support..??
tried rebranding to various regions ,no dual sim support sadly..
Technically you can get it working If you could find a way to add IMEI for other SIM card to work,which until now, is not possible. So a simple answer is- NO, YOU CANNOT.
Can the L09 support dual sim cards thanks
I have opened it up but cannot fit a 2nd sim card in,
Is there any mods, or simcard tray I can buy which will allow me to switch between simcards fasts
Thanks
No, The L09 is Single Sim!
The L29 have Only Dual Sim
No its wrong buy the dual Sim tray and rebrand your Mate to MHL29Cxxx.
