Greetings
I am on the lookout for any DUAL SIM Android 2.3.X or WM7/WM7.5 mobile with following features.
+ screen size 4.0" +
+ Capacitive multi-touch screen with bright resolution
+ atleast 1 SIM should have 3/3.5G/WCDMA. Other SIM may be regular Quad Band GSM
+ Quad band - 850/900/1800/1900MHZ and WCDMA - 900/2100MHz
+ WiFI / Bluetooth
+ Gravity / Light sensor / Compass
+ dual-core processor
+ inbuilt memory preferably over 512mb expandable to 32 GB
+ GPS / AGPS latest generation
+ Camera with 5MP and above and support video recording. Front camera for video calling can be lower resolution
+ FM Radio with built in antenna (not requiring headphone to listen to FM)
+ 3D Graphics Acceleration Chipset
I know the requirements look quite odd, but I feel that the mobiles should have the above features and it would work quite well

Wowser, thats quite a list but i doubt you will find any reputable device with those specs and dual sim. Only grey imports (copies) tend to have dual sim, but i wouldnt touch them. Best chance is to search ebay.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I know and feel its high time top companies roll out Dual SIM Mobiles. When you have multiple networks, multiple numbers, it becomes quite easy to carry a single mobile rather than 2. Now a days the mobile is becoming a tool to access internet usually for emails / quick browsing, take say quick snaps if you are traveling (rather than carry a digital camera), a GPS Device, Compass etc... so one device has multiple functions works really well for people like me, who dont want say a camera with 100s of features, etc.. dont like to carry 2 mobiles. Any other way I could use 2 SIMs on a Single SIM Mobile?

I have seen a dual sim adaptor that worked on some much older phones, but as far as i know they are not supported on newer smart phones. There was also the issue that the adaptor was quite bulky and therefore you couldnt get the battery cover back on.
Think you might be chasing a ghost train here, sorry buddy
Credit to me.. lol.. go to Google and type in (without quotes of course)" lightinthebox.com" when you there type in dual sim or just find an android phone and see a list of dual sim card phones.

Lol, yh there are some there Just be careful buying "unknown" devices, things to consider are build quality, hardware, will device work on your carrier.
Good luck.
Lol..well the site was provided now he can research what he wants and could chat with a customer rep...ask about anything..I've had people at my job who bought different Ipads and phones and they work good..till this day haven't had problems...hope that helps..let us know what your interested phone is...

well i have heard a lot about simore dual sim adapter not sure of real life examples but many posts.
really there is no REAL Dual SIM Adapter. 2 SIMs running in standby mode like the ones offered on "clone" phones or the DUAL SIMs launched by a few standard companies. But for the extra SIM they charge the moon.
Hope that I get a Dual SIM Phone like the specs I want... my search is still on
This one fits most of the profile. I have Lenovo A60 that is based on same processor, and it's excellent.

I'm waiting on a delviery from DHL today, the Cube i6 dual OS. It's very similar to the dual boot Teclast X98 Air 3G and the Onda v919. However this time it's in black! The others you can only get in white. It's lacking HDMI unlike the X98 Air 3G and only comes in 32GB for now. It also has the slight slower Z3735F 1.8ghz CPU. But I have heard good things about cube's build quality so it will be interesting to see how it compares to the Teclast 98 Air 3G and the Onda V919 Air 3G. I'll update this post with an unboxing video, hands on and first impressions. I ordered this from geekbuying.com instead of Ali Express as my sellers on Ali Express didn't seem to have stock and geekbuying.com has paypal.
First impressions:
The build quality of the Cube i6 is a step up from my Onda v919 or Teclast X98 Air 3G, I love the way the microsd card slot and micro sim card tray is done. It's a nice touch. Overall the tablet feels very solid in hand it feels better than the other retina tablets I've owned. There is no sighs of the tablet flexing, it's very solid. Thickness is around 9mm, so a bit thicker than the X98 Air 3G.
Antutu score is 31k, this is just behind the LG G3 according to the chart. The Android rom is really nice, a very stock looking Android rom with no bloat (Well if you count the facebook app) Windows 8.1 Bing actives withotu any issues and Windows everything is working just fine.
Pros:
Best build quality I have seen yet on a Chinese retina iPad air clone.
Mirco sim slot and not a normal sim slot.
Comes in black
Stock Android rom is bloat free and very Nexus like.
GPS, 3G
WiDi / Miracast works.
Battery life as good as my Teclast X98 Air 3G
Cons:
No HDMI port
MHL doesn't seem to be supported
The screen has a slight grain to it as if it has a matte screen under the touch screen glass.
Overall:
I think if your in the market for a dual boot tablet, the Cube i6 shouldn't be overlooked if you can live with the lack of Hdmi output. The price of $209 with the discount coupon is cheaper than the Onda v919 or Teclast X98 Air 3G dual boots.

Looking forward to this..
I'm still leaning towards the teclast, but the 900Mhz 3g would be much better.....although whether that is worth foregoing the hdmi port. Am I also correct in that the entire body is plastic, unlike the teclast.
I'm also interested as to whether this has faster eMMC than the Teclast.
Cube I6 AIR 3G Dual System Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uILLxnyS8RM
Here is an unboxing video of my Cube i6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLe2yWfKSQ
And a video demonstrating how fast it is to switch OS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeXJ8hJW4k&list=UUrI6_31b1OHRE62BHTMYN0Q
So far so good, the build is better than the Onda v919 and the Teclast X98 Air 3g. Very nice how they have done the microsim and microsd card slots. The Android rom is great very much a stock rom.

card issues
Hi. I have my cube i6 air for three days now.
During windows update i do always lost my sd card capability. Card is found in windows device manager, but could not start, error 10. I have tried a lot of things I googled. Nothing except full wipe of windows helps (from windows menu not rom changing). Do you have the same issue ? I have kingston 32g class 10. Android sees card without issue
I wonder if there will be some custom roms and updates.
Disk is separated strangely an i think we can double userspace with customized partitioning. Any advices ?
Anyway, tablet is perfect, i do have better experience like with galaxy tab 2.
Windows come fully activated.
Tablet does not support mhl
Automatic turn off of screen does not work in both OS.

My 64GB sandisk mircosdcard works in it without any issues, have you tired doing a full recovery wipe? Does an SD card work find in Android? If its good in android it has to be a software issue in Windows.
I'm happy with my Cube i6, loving the build quality and having a retina tablet in black instead of white. How do you find the display? Next to my X98 Air 3G or Onda v919, the display is a bit grainy, like it has a matte screen protector on it under the glass.

I though 64gb is not supported. According to technical data of manufacturer.
Android have no issue with card, it is visible and fully operational. I know its a software issue of windows itself. I just do not want to do a full wipe/reset every second day.
Regarding display, its gorgeous. I can compare it to my galaxy tab 2 only. And Galaxy tab 2 looses on every point.
I have rooted android with king root. I would like to have custom recovery. However partiotioning is really crazy here.
Do you know about some GURUs which are taking care about custom recovery and other stuff ?
I think a lot of space can be freed by simple repartitionig of tablet.
cube i6 dual boot: Issues on windows 8.1
Hello,
I have acquired a cube i6 dual boot tablet, and I met several problems on Windows OS: WiFi keys are not preserved when the OS is rebooted, Bluetooth equipments are not detected (in fact the first time I activated the Bluetooth I was able to associate an equipment, but after a reboot it is no more possible). The reseller said me that it is probably a firmware problem and there is no way for the moment to solve it. As nobody is taking about that I would like to know if I'm the only one with these problems or if a fix exist. I made a post on cube web site but I received no answers.
Does someone can help me?
Thanks
Cube i6 air Dual Boot
I have recently bought a cube i6 air dual boot and its a fine machine with customer satisfaction. However I have found few lags in both os:
1. The clock of the windows os does not sync after booting and I had to manually sync it. So got to install a third party soft for auto sync with the internet.
2. It accepts only up to 4GB of pen drives. Any thing greater than 4GB does not connect in both os sides.
3. The Bluetooth devices sync with the android os do not auto connect after boot. They have to be unpaired and re paired for next use. I think need a os update which is not available for the moment.
If any body knows how to correct this please be good enough to help me.
Dual to Single
I think I have decided to get this tablet and I am very curious about the dual boot. The difference in price between single (android) and dual boot is minimal so I am wondering if at some time I decided to just want android, is it possible to just make the tab all android (single boot)?
charging very SLOW. takes forever to full charge. tried a few chargers, all the same. other than this everything works well.
anyone else bought this tablet?
From the videos so far, the build quality seems good. Probably better than x98?

If you received it like that, shouldn't you be contacting the seller about it?
I've just thought..........................have you tried pulling down the notification tray and seeing if there's an icon like this present:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjo4m5k0axgpq5v/OS Switch.jpg?dl=0
It's the OS Switcher and if it's there, you need to click on it and it will boot from Android to Windows.
If it's not - you need to contact whoever it was that sold it to you for a solution.

Can anyone advise on a Chinese phone that supports DSFA (Dual SIM Full Active) ?
Software customization
Can you customize a phone in order to make it Full Active?
As I've seen on many sites, almost all the phones are promoted as DSDS (Dual SIM Dual StandBy). However, it seems some are really DSFA!
Thanks!

One DSFA phone is Lenovo Vibe X2. When one sim is busy the other is active. I use it and so i know for sure
No you can not do it because dual full active require 2 trasmiting modems. The dual sim stand by uses one and for that reason when you are talking in one line the other is turn off.
Asus Zenfone 2 551ml DSFA (4GB ram, Intel CPU, up to 256gb storage and 5.5" screen).
This is the only dual sim full active that the WW version supports LTE band 20 at 800Mhz that is important for 4G coverage in europe.
The last Huawei phone that is DSFA is mate 8. What a pity
Send by Huawei Mate 8 (NXT-L29)
Hi,
I have a damaged Huawei Mate 9 64GB Dual SIM (MHA-L29). The phone needs to replace motherboard, which is not easy to find.
I have two questions:
1- Is it possible to use motherboard of Mate 9 Pro (LON-L29C) instead of (MHA-L29)? Probably not possible!
2- Is it possible to use motherboard of Mate 9 Single sim Card (MHA-L09) instead of Dual sim card (MHA-L29)?
Thanks in advance
To answer those questions:
1) My thought would be no, based on if the motherboard layouts are different. Maybe check out a few teardown views of both models to see.
2) I dont think the single sim version would work because the SIM tray for the Dual version is longer, so when you swap the board, it wont have enough space to fit the dual slots.

Option 2 should work, actually I remember that I read here about people rebranding (by changing the firmware and SIM tray only) single SIM Mate 9 to dual SIM Mate 9 - therefore, differences are only in firmware and SIM tray
Search on the net and here on XDA and you will find more reports and discussions like this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/mate-9-single-sim-to-dual-sim-t3596158
It was also possible to rebrand single SIM to dual SIM for some other Huawei models, like P9 Lite (but not P9) and I think P10 (used to be long ago when those phones were hot, when unlocking Bootloaders were easy and I was actively monitoring the threads here about)

Outer dimensions of single and dual SIM trays are the same, they only differ by the internal cut-off of the first slot (on the single tray it can accommodate only SD card, on the dual tray it can accommodate either SD card or nano SIM)
Longevity of that first slot depends on the longevity of SD card. Nano sim is smaller and it goes turned by 90 degrees (parallel to the nano SIM in the second, SIM only slot). Hence there is no need for that combo slot (and the whole tray) to be longer - just the hole in that first, combo slot has different shape to let also the nano SIM to settle in)
You can search on e.g. eBay, Amazon or Alibaba for the spare parts, SIM trays and compare their shape and size (and compatibility notes - e g. some dual SIM trays are denoted as fitting also to the single SIM Mate 9 models)

Thank you for the guidance this is really helpful.
I didn't think option 1 would work, my concern with option 2 was the sim card tray size, your explanation about outer dimensions and internal design of the sim tray is exactly what I was looking for.
I checked on Aliexpress and ebay for sim tray spare parts, and I was surprsed that everybody is using the dual sim tray instead of the single tray! It is making sense as it can work for both not vise versa.
I will buy the MHA-L09 motherboard and go ahead, I don't really mind using one sim, I just need to turn life to the dead phone.
Thanks for your help.
Hi All,
i've just taken delivery of my Realme X50 Pro phone and cant figure out the 2nd sim,
i have searched online and see plenty mentioned about dual sim capability, but i'm pretty certain this doesnt have the 2nd sim slot, it has bars across where the 2nd sim would go.
i bought it from laptops direct and it didnt mention whether it was single or dual sim, i assumed it was dual sim as all information online pointed to them being dual sim, i have the 12gb 256gb hdd option.
do you know if it is possible to add dual sim functionality similar to that of the old Huwawei p10 plus?
unfortunately because i have opened the packaging i cannot return the phone.
i have the same prplm
