Dear community,
I've got a question related to the Sony Xperia XA which is sold in germany.
The version has a single SIM Tray. Looking at the tecspecs, i can see, there also is a dual SIM version.
So my question ist: Does anyone knows, if this is a different smartphone, so that the hardware of the single SIM version is not able to handle double sim?
Or is it just the sim tray, which is single SIM in germany?
It's the model no F311, if it helps.
I'm asking this, because i can buy a dual SIM tray for less money. I'm not allowed to post the link, but you can find it on parts4repair dot com.
If it's also just a software thing, i can use another rom which can handle dual sim.
Would be happy to hear about your experience so far.
Greetings,
Cyberrob
You can find 5 models of the XA: F3111, F3113 and F3115 with single sim, F3112 and F3116 with dual sim. Others hardware specs are same for all, only radio bands are differents. If you want dual sim XA for Germany you have to buy the F3112, I'm from France and have it (from the Sony Store). To be sure verify the network bands used by your provider.
That's a really good answer, tank you so much.
So i do know now, it's impossible with my F3111.
Had no other option, because it's from a contract extension, or how it is called in english.

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.

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
Hello all,
I will shortly be buying a g7 power running on EE in the UK. The phones are single sim from what I'm told but similar to my Huawei, I'm hoping there is a custom rom I can flash to enable both sim slots to be used. Can anyone advise if they have been able to make it work?
Regards
Vijay
I have a UK G7 power. The SIM tray has one SIM and one memory card slot. I don't know how you would physically access the second SIM location?
Why not just buy the official Dual SIM version - Argos have them on sale right now for £160
Hi All,
Can some provide some info on which carrier in the UK supplies the dual sim P30? I am looking to get one
Many thanks
I'm fairly certain most ones do. EE 100% has it, as I'm using one right now
Is this phone Single Sim in Europe? Why?
Is it intentionally locked like on xiaomi mi10 who knows why?
I can't find a word about it anywhere, is there esim?
Yes, single sim. Not sure why... I heard that 865 wasnt dual sim compatible in its early stages, but Qualcomm promised that it would work trough a software update. Some phone manufacturers in Europe preferred to make their phones not dual sim compatible for that reason, but it's weird that they didn't make this choice in China, probably because dual sim is mandatory there.
