I have a Canadian X Play, and while taking my sim out, noticed it said Sim 1. Thought it odd, so looked at the other spot. It looked like a dummy plate, so I peeled it off, and voila. It says Sim 2. Taking a quick peek inside the slot looks like it has the pins that would make contact with a second sim. I put my Sim in slot two, but it didn't pick it up. Not sure if you need to have a Sim in both slots, or maybe if it's enabled in software. I don't have a second nano sim to test. It looks like the hardware is all there. Once we get some factory images up, and some devs, it'd be interesting to see if these are all just the same device with a different tray and software.
Maybe it is disabled in software. Like a single sim build flashed.

From what I know there's three current versions of the Moto X Play.
Canadian, Europe/UK and Nordic.
The Canadian and UK ones do not have two radios, but the Nordic one does, and that one supports Dual-Sim.
The Canadian and UK ones probably still have the pins for the sim card slot though.
I'm getting my Dual-Sim one in a couple of hours, we can try and find out if there's any differences?
Makes sense about the dual radios. I was silently hoping it was simple lol.
What makes me a bit sad, is that I have to choose between using two sim cards, or one sim and one SD card

I don't understand what you mean.
I have a dual sim model (XT1562) and don't have to make the choices you state. I'm using 2 SIM cards and a microSD card.

I thought the SD card was also where the second sim would be, now that I actually have the device in my hand I see that it is not so

But does your phone have the LTE band 20 (800 Mhz)?

Yes it does:
4G LTE (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 19, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41)
Ah now that's tempting. I'm getting bored waiting for the Honor 7 and I can get a dual-sim Play down the road from my local equivalent of Currys (if that still exists).

I'm impressed with the phone. I'm not a heavy user, but the battery life is very good. Especially after using a Nexus 4 for the past 2 yrs.
Even with both SIMs on, I'm getting 42-50 hrs of battery life and approx' 6:30 hrs screen on time. I'm sure I can get even more with only one SIM on.
I had a nexus 4 and battery life was pretty bad. However I struggle with battery life on all my android phones. I see people with 6 hours screen on with other devices and have no idea how even with kernel tuning I don't get near that. My Voda Smart Ultra 6 I occasionally got 5 hours screen in but then some days I got only 2 and a half. Nothing significant showing in usage either...

Which model is dual SIM? XT1562 or XT1563 or another model?
From gsmarena the XT1562 is European model (?) comes only with SS (single Sim) and has less LTE bands while XT1563 comes in both SS & DS (dual SIM) and has more LTE bands - AWS for one which is 1700/2100. I just looked this up from website so there might be more variations worldwide but if you are in NA (North America) I would make sure it's a XT1563 so you have the right bands for LTE. AFAIK the carriers in Canada are all bringing in SS units (XT1563) while the Mexican /Spanish units (also XT1563) are all DS units.
Not exactly a cut & dried answer but I hope it helps you out.
I have been more than happy with mine XT1563 SS but would have got a DS if available for same price & on shelf.

I just flashed XT1562_LUX_RETASIA_DS_5.1.1_LPD23.118-12_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC on my RETEU phone and can confirm that the second sim slot works fine if you take off the cover.

Did you flash that on a European XT1562 or a XT1563? I'm wondering if I should try XT1563_LUX_RETLA_DS_5.1.1_LPD23.118-6.1_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip on mine.

European XT1562.
That's pretty cool that Motorola left things "doable" for us enthusiasts to utilize the second SIM by flashing the right ROM.
I am fairly sure that's just a (wonderful) side effect of technically inept management
I wonder if that affects LTE bands also?
I bought a 4.7 Idol 3 and just now am seeing comments about the dual-sim variant lacking expandable storage. I've been looking for more info and all spec websites (including from my country) mention it should have a MicroSD slot.
Some dual-sim phones' tray also doubles a card reader, so you can choose whether to have expandable storage or dual sim capabilities. I've been wondering if the same is true for the Idol 3.
Which is true?
The model I'm getting is 6039J-JAALBRC-1, bought in Brazil.

I don't think so...
The dual-sim slots arent cut out for the MicroSD cards,and even the software of the stock rom for the dual sim variant(in my case the Idol 3 6045K) doesnt show any ability to recognise an SD card.

Yeah,that is what I just said.
The dual sim variant doesn't support MicroSD cards.
But it does have 32GB of storage,while the single-sim ones have 16GB.
When I got this device,I kinda hoped its second sim slot would act as a MicroSD card slot (like in Meizu M2 Note),but I am pretty satisfied with Cloud storage too.

That's too bad. Lack of MicroSD suppport would be a deal breaker if I saw it earlier, but I'm going to keep the Idol 3 considering I paid such a low price for it. Hopefully I'll get used to the available ~10 GB it comes with.
Thanks for making that clear.
Hi
Will there be a version of galaxy s7 (maybe just for some regions) with capability of using 2 sim cards and a microsd at the same time?
I think there's no 128gb version, so what if I want more space (128gb) with two sim cards inserted?
Highly doubt it. I don't know of any phone that has. The dual sim will probably be software locked for certain regions and I don't see Sammy redesigning their phone to accommodate 3 cards, I.E 2 sims and an sd.

Its a hybrid (sim or card) phone, so NO
Think it's possible to do it like this?

Asus Zenfone 2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, Xperia Z3 and Z5 Dual, Moto X Play just to quote a few examples...
Well I'm not sure about those phones above but I'm. Sure the motor x play is either dual sim or single simply with microsd but can't take all three at same time. Only going on the fact that I also have a motor x force

hi i'm still running an M8 but the U11 looks like finally the phone that will trigger me to upgrade. I'm confused about how the US versions will be getting 4GB RAM 64GB storage, while the international versions will get 6GB RAM 128GB storage.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the international version to work on US Carrier? I'm on AT&T.
Thanks
excited to see how the edge sensitivity stuff works out

Wrong information mate. All countries will get the same 4GB RAM/64GB internal configuration. Only difference are Taiwan and China were HTC will ship an 6GB RAM/128GB internal version as well. If your not running dual SIM the 64GB variant would suffice I think. But if you really want the larger storage you'd have to import it. Don't know if all US bands are present on this asian versions and if it'll run on AT&T though.

Gotcha. Well thanks for the info. I won't need dual SIM and use an SD card so I was really just interested in getting 25% more RAM if it wasn't hard to get an international version.

Not necessary to have those extra juice. Didn't make a lot in terms of performance on such a phone. Especially as long as it is driven by such an SoC and very well done software optimization.

should be fine with sd835 and 4 gb
Watch out for the dual sim variants. They don't have all the US bands.
I was kinda bummed about this too, but at least we have an SD card slot and HTC doesn't bloat the hell out of their phones with crap like "Touchwiz" so I think it wouldn't make much difference.

Wait, but there's five MIDs, two of which are dual-SIM. So how can "all countries be getting the same 4/64 config"?

Yeah I know bit MID isn't directly tied to storage options. And as far as I know EMEA and US and others are getting 4GB/64GB, while Aisa is the only region getting 6GB/128GB.

Right, I just wanted to make sure that by "the same 4/64 config" you didn't mean all 4/64 devices have the same MID )

Hey folks,
