Hi, I've seen the hybrid microSD + dualsim adaptor that may have the S7 by default, but only in certain countries.
I have currently an S6 Duos (regular version, I didn't find the Edge in dual sim).
Do you think that would be real?
the second slot is either for a microsd card or sim card

but it's only on some markets, which is what he is asking

are you sure? I was refering to Europe, as far as I see in EU it will be like this
The European and U.S. variants don't have dual sim; dual sim requires to use two baseband chips, which is adds an additional cost to the manufacturer, therefore you can guess Samsung will only implement it on markets with high demands for such products (China, India...)

The ones offered in Belgium on pre-order seem to have Dual-SIM...
The SM-G930F and SM-G935F which are, respectively, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge for the European market, are not dual sim.
So what the well is the hybrid SIM and microSD slot?
Ps: Huawei P8 lite also have this with only one imei and support 2 sim cards...

They just use the same sim tray worldwide to minimise costs.
Because they use a hybrid SIM tray does not mean your handset supports more than one sim card.

If you assume the physical connectors for a second SIM is in the tray of the SIM/SD slot of all major versions.
But there was a discussion if only the Exynos version that aims at the Asian market will get also the connectors for the second SIM.
From experience Samsung often build a range of phones and sells them under the same model no. That leads to an uncertainty until the last minute.
In Hong Kong they usually first sell the regular international one (F) and after a while also the (mainland China targeting) Dual SIM version (D or whatever).
If physically a second SIM card is connected over the small tray... it still needs to be managed by the OS. I am curious to see if all versions of Samsungs OS will have that capability.

maybe you are right, we shall see
this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/user-manual-samsung-galaxy-s7edge-t3321948 then page 133 of the hand book shows all about the sim draw
i don´t get it, should i be able to enable the dual sim in all the variants (maybe changing the sim trail) or some models will support it and others don´t?

I think its only
Model numbers SM 9350 and SM 9300 for China and HK
Model numbers SM 935FD and SM 930FD for SE Asia
Well i guess dual sim only for exynos version..
Is it hardware or software related? I mean, in latter case, one could use a custom ROM in order to enable dual SIM compatibility.

Because of how the tray looks on the S7 people were hoping it's already ready to go for Dual SIM, but it isn't S7 manual explains there's a SIM tray that supports 1 SIM + 1 micro SD card, and then there's a SIM tray that supports 1 SIM + 1 SIM or micro SD card (meaning you either have two SIMs in or 1 SIM and 1 micro SD, can't use 3 of them at the same time). But as of right now Europe and US are getting the 1 SIM only phones, as of right now Dual SIM isn't available. Maybe if you dig you could find it on some Asian shop which is usually where they get Dual SIM phones, maybe India too?
I have a dual sim S7, other than having dual sim, what's the difference between dual sim and not dual sim S7?
Any update on this? I am about to buy an s7 edge but definitely not willing to shell out a ~100EUR more for the DUOS model. (I am in Europe, getting the Exynos version won't be a problem)
Dual sim card need full network band. This is only can be achieved by Qualcomm. Qualcomm has the patent of cdma standard
So dual sim need supported from Hardware .Exynos version often sells in Europe. So Samsung do not need to worry cdma or another standard. Europe use WCDMA.
I see that converting a single sim G930F to dual sim has be asked and confirmed not possible, just wondering if the canadian model - G930w8 can be converted to Dual sim, as it shares the same Exynos CPU (and guessing hardware), by installing a G930FD ROM.
I just got my S7 so curious if we can convert, as we dont get dual sim model in canada.
No you only have one imei, you can buy the fd in canada though.

Thanks for the links..
unfortunately I cracked my back glass All I can find online to buy are the dual sim variants. will a dual sim htc u12+ work in the US with verizon?
yes, the back is the same for all models
if it weren't like that it would get pretty messy
I'm wanting to know if I take my SIM out my unlocked US variant, if it will work in a dual SIM variant on Verizon.
So I was reading that the Snapdragon variant was dual sim compatible thanks to the hybrid sim tray, my question is does anyone know which firm ware I would have to flash to be able to access the Sim Manager to be able to utilize the dual sim feature? Or can anyone shed some light on this subject?
Long story shot there is no dual sim on the snapdragon Note 20 ultra. You'll need the exynos DS version, but you lose the memory card
only the n9860 snapdragon variant have dual sim support.
