Z5 to be first flagship with dual sim in india - Xperia Z5 General

Z5 indian support site lists the new flagship as dual variant which was not the case few days back.
Th japanes giant mybe gearing up for first dual variant in indian market.
Looking at the dual sim variants history
They get very late updates, they have lesser support from oem, and are not widely used in case of flagship.
So let's see what will happen to their flagship looking at the last phone which fell face down.
Personally i thought of getting one but having some not so good experience in past i would surely avoid it.

I always wanted to get Z3 dual Sim but it is not officially available in India.. Z5 dual will be great...

If you have not used any dual sim androids then you would certainly tell so or else you'd knw hw useless it is.
Since LP doesn't natively support dual sim, its upto oem to implement it and they fail miserably.

I guess 5.1 natively supports dual Sim..
Google added this for Android one phones.

MOTO G ~ Dual Sim Edition

Hi Friends,
This Thread is about the Dual sim version of MotoG( A budget friendly Phone with premium specs launched by Motorola). Apparently its not been released yet. I sense its soon going to be!
I know there are Guys ( l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ .. like Us) out there who want to support the Development section ( Custom ROM development , Kernel development etc.)
The Developers need to witness your support so that they decide to develop for MotoG Dual-Sim Edition.
So Join us (Replying/Thanks) below in this Thread and show interest so that we have everything ready by the time MotoG gets released!!
Remember,
More Support -> More Developers show Interest -> More Mods, Tweaks and Customisation follows.
Regards,
Shikhar
I'll definitely hope there'll be a dual sim development since I suspect that south east Asian version will came with dual sim.

+1 for this post bro.
Im with you.Im ready for Rom testing.
I love to support developers .
Hope there will be more developers for Us.
Will single sim ROMs work on the dual sim phone? Even if with just one sim. I just need one but the dual sim version is cheaper here.
Already released here in Brazil (8 gb single sim, 16/8 gb dual sim). Hope there will be development for de dual sim version.

I am rather surprised to know that a Dual sim version costs less than the single sim phone.
coming to your Q. single sim Roms may work on a dual sim phone. but its neither advisable nor required as the Dual sim variant will get its own RoM s.
BTW from where do you belong?

I am from Brazil. Actually, from Motorola's store the single sim is cheaper, but it isn't sold outside Motorola's website. As other stores charge less for the phone, and they don't sell the single sim, the dual chip is cheaper than the single one from Motorola.
I would also like to know whether a Custom Rom can be developed for the Dual SIM version. I would like to buy it because of the 16gb internal memory, and I don't care about a second SIM - if a custom rom works as a single chip mode in this device, I would be very happy!
Anyone have any idea whether this is possible?
I'm from Brasil mine 16GB Dual Sim arrived yesterday... I'm loving it =)

At that price, I will stick with a single SIM one
So the dual-sim edition has only started shipping in late November but only in Brazil so far?
Any quick reviews yet? I think people are especially interested in learning how the differentiating dual-sim function has been implemented. E.g. can both sims operate data and voice simultaneously and how are the two connections managed (interface)?
I have a coworker in Brazil, and i asked him to buy me a moto g. If he cant i probably will ask to felipeap to bring one to Spain

i hope there will be custom on dual sim version as much as single sim version because in my country doesn't sell single sim version
DeLonge, Where are you from?

It may take a lil longer as only specific countries are being targetted by Motorola. Which means only a few developers actually getting their hands on this deivce.

Galaxy S7 Dual Sim Discussion

Really hope that the 2nd sim slot is not hybrid with microSD slot. Rather a dedicated sim slot (3 slots in total) like some models of Galaxy A7 (2016) & A9

I reality hope for dual sim so I don't have to get a mate 8
It will be pretty sure as they have launched Dual sim version of all their flagships in last two years like Note 4 / 5 & GS5 / 6.

Read on GsmArena that dual sim version will have a hybrid micoSD card / dual sim slot.

Because the biggest flaw is the lack of space on the S6.
Why would I get an S7 with 32gb of space when using two sims, instead of a cheaper 64gb/128gb Galaxy S6?
It takes better low light pictures and is waterproof.... that's it, nobody really cares about CPU/GPU performance anymore.
Will see what happens when the S8 is released.

I see your point about the cheaper storage, but what about battery life and better software? (Remember the crappy memory management that hit the S6?) As for your point about CPU and GPU, the S7 now comes with the SD820 as opposed to the Exynos in the North American model. This means that developers are gonna have a much easier time developing for the device as Qualcomm has much better source updates than Samsung. In any case, it's your opinion that counts, but just thought I'd shine some light on that.
On an on-topic note, I'd like to know if the dual SIM works with the North American model as I have two SIMs.

Depends how much of the code they share, I remember the old days of custom Galaxy roms where the pictures on CM were pretty bad compared to stock due the closed camera source.
Battery life really depends on the user, and running custom tends to fix it, having an extra 400mah won't set the world on fire as the biggest drain is the screen - which is exactly the same.
I just think it's a very hard sell to users who run two sims, especially when you only have to wait another 12 months for the next phone. I also doubt they will do what huawei do with their phones and ship the dual sim/sd card hybrid version worldwide, will probably still be branded 'duos' and in limited supply.

If it's true I stay my my Dual SIM GS5 or buy a G Note 4 Dual
I need to use 2 sims, and I need to use the sd card..... I don't know how in Samsung's wisdom they came up with hybrid idea!!!!!!!! LG G5 will be my next phone for the dedicated slots
The dual sim hybrid tray is surely region dependant. In Netherlands I have checked all sites with pre-ordering, there is no dual sim here. All sites are mentioning single nano sim. A few posts back someone mentioned dual sim version as official in Belgium, seems a strange news...If it is so, I'm going to get one from there.

Seems as a legit list
Not that many versions with dual sim tho:
SM-G9300 (china), G9308/9 (china), G930FD (asia)
Has anybody seen Dual Sim S7 or S7 edge version with 64GB built in. Reason being 32GB is too limited for me. Will be really interested in a 64GB version.

SD card does not help ?
With Dual Sim, SD card slot is taken by 2nd Sim. It is a hybrid slot. Either 2nd Sim or SD card. If it would have been both, the perfect phone for me.

LG G6 Dual Sim (H870DS) software support

I plan to buy a brand new H870DS, and I have a quetion: since its not the regular model - will it get OTAs as fast and as long as H870? And what about costum ROMS made for H870? are they going to apply to H870DS?
no no and no
What he said. We are still on April. The single Sims are on June / July maybe. Even with my G3 updates were slower than my mates single SIM. But I still love the G6 though.
Single sim updates are faster than dual SIM

Im afraid he is correct. Dual SIM support and community builds are rare or atleast not as fast and not as versatile as that of Single SIM.
I own a Dual SIm variant and stuck with March Security update, even now.

Dual Sim not enabled in USA?

Read one review that said you can't use Dual SIM in the USA right now? Anyone know if that's true and an ETA/or if It'll eventually come? Can't use my 7Pro with Dual Sim because my work verizon account won't let me switch to "CDMA Less" so when I saw the 8Pro supports CDMA I was excited.........then I read that.
Anyone have any more info?

I'm wondering the same thing. I want to order the unlocked OP8 pro from OP's website tomorrow but if the dual sim is disabled, there's no way to know when they are going to update it to enable dual sim. I want to dual sim out of the box, otherwise it's useless for me. My OP7 currently has two sims in it.
If you buy the carrier versions of this then no you will not have dual SIM, however if you get the unlocked version from OP themselves then you will be able to use dual SIM. Or at least this is how all previous versions have worked. Only caveat I would think is if you are a Verizon customer as I think they need the specific Verizon version.

I am on Verizon but if I wanted 5G, then I need to get the 5G VZW UWB version, is that right? But the only caveat is that they don't offer the Pro with VWZ 5G and only the standard OP8?
My understanding, and maybe I am mistaken, that the pro also comes in that version for Verizon.

Unfortunately it appears Verizon will only offer the non-pro model in the 12 GB RAM configuration for $799 but in two colors.

Straight from OnePlus support today:
"as the device is just out and the first software update/OTA is yet to be released, it is recommended to wait for it rather than doing a reset to the device as the system itself says that it will be fixed on the upcoming update and you can change from single to dual."
Already RMA'ing it up and sending back. When/if it's ever enabled I'll give it another shot.
Borderline deceptive advertising IMHO.

Pretty bummed out. I also ordered directly from OP. My T-Mobile (home) sim is in the first slot, and my work (AT&T) is in the second. I thought it must've been a mistake when I first saw the error, as I've used OnePlus phones ever since the OP5T and haven't seen this *not* work one day 1.
Bummed here too. Got mine today and was looking fwd to popping work and personal SIMs in but SIM2 is a no go. DM'd OP support on Twitter and was told it should work out of the box. I directed them to this thread and screenshots from my device. Crickets.....

I'm seeing in other threads that others seem to have it working (UK users, at least). Have you heard anything back from OP yet? I wonder if removing the second sim and putting it back will trigger something
The response I got was that they, "found that there is an issue with the Dual SIM." and "The team said they will roll out an update which would fix this issue." No ETA given and I didn't respond. I ended up listing and selling my OP8P on Swappa.
ARGH, hope they fix this soon so I can pull the trigger and buy one! Course until then my OP7P will work
Only response I've been able to get from OnePlus is:
This is to inform you that as of now we do not any official information regarding this. We request you to stay tuned to our social media channels for future updates.

I really how no idea what you are talking about. All my OP phones, as far back as the OP3 my son has, has been dual sim. I had zero issue on my last four phones... (five, counting the Axon 7 I had), then this one comes along and it doesn't work. The only thing I can think of is something changed with the switch to 5G.

Deceptive advertising? More like your inability to read. It says on the website that dual sim will be enabled in a future update.
Can we flash an US version with the UK ROM?
Grrrrrrrr. I was really hoping yesterday's update (10.5.6) would've fixed the dual SIM issue, but no. It hasn't. It'll show VoWifi for a sec, then switch back to VoLTE.
At least MMS seems to be working with wifi on. That was broken until this update.
I'm in Germany and I can use dual SIM, but not with 5G enabled. Oneplus is still working on the software on multiple fronts and the US seems to be behind, see screenshot:

oneplus 8 pro in2025 dual sim not working

i just bought another one plus 8 pro, previous one i had in2023 which i can use dual sim no problem but this in2025 i have error saying dual sim doesnt work within this current system the version is 10.5.6.in11aa.
is there a fix to make the dual sim work?
No, 2025 is the US version, and currently the US model has dual-sim disabled. It's BS, I want this phone but have to have dual-sim. The phones are nearly identical so no idea what the hold up is!!! So either send the 2025 back and get another 2023 or wait until OnePlus enables it. They've said they WILL, at a "future date". Whatever that means.

thanks for the input i also learned it only recently its disappointing really only difference is bands between this phone and the other version why the heck they taking too much time just to enable the dual sim, ive seen this request since march 2020 and its already june i guess they will never implement this thing and just advertises it as dual sim as a marketing gimmick
I've been also waiting for dual sim and there's been 3 updates ever since I got the phone. I hope it gets released pretty soon, as my 2nd sim just sits idle while I can't use it.
