I want a Korean S3 with 2GB RAM and quadcore!!

Indulge me.
The Korean SGS3 comes with 2GB RAM and the quadcore Exynos 4412 chip:
http://phandroid.com/2012/06/08/sk-telecoms-galaxy-s-iii-merges-quad-core-cpu-and-2gb-ram/
South Korea uses 2100Mhz HSPA band - as does the UK where I live.
http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
What's stopping me from (somehow) buying a Korean one and importing it for use here in the UK?
Also, any ideas how I would even go about buying something from Korea??

Willing to bet, the Korean version won't use a Micro-Sim that GSM carriers use, as they're network SK Telecom if i recall does not require the use of sim cards. Also chances are the Korean version will be locked to region specific carriers there.

Don't go for it. Their will be a lot of issues with it. Also very bad developer support, worse than American version.
There may be other hardware compatibility issues with your network.

Can't you just buy off-contract sim-free handsets, like you could here in the UK? Not attached/locked to a network?

Quite a lot of the new smartphones in Korea come with usim cards..
Don't ask me the finer details.

There are 3 major carriers in SK, two of them operate WCDMA networks.

I would not go for this phone. Like somebody else said, bad developer support.

Are saying that American version is going to have bad development support, when it's most likely going to be better.

Why are you using an app to display battery life. You know the S3 has that built into stock now right?
If I have assisted you, please press Thanks button.

ok so i want the international version, my carrier (h2o wireless) runs on att but they dont have 4g only 3g... my question is , would it work on my carrier?

Haha!

You mean that ugly stock battery percentage that appears next to the battery icon and takes up additional space? If you have noticed, I do not have any app but actually a circles mod that can display battery percentage within the battery icon.

For the dev support I disagree, it seems they will get the same hardware as the int version only more ram and LTE support so int roms shouln'd be hard to port, am I wrong?

Speaking form experience the SIM card issue is no longer a problem, Korean phones now use SIM cards, all carriers here ( SK, KT, LG all use SIM cards)
All Android phones here as of today (SGS3 is still unknown) are sold carrier unlocked, I've used my Korean issue GalaxyS (m110s) in various countries with no issue (India/China/UK)
Problem with the Korean version is that' you'll lose FM functionality and gain a useless DMB (TV) chip instead, also it's dimensions are ever slightly larger, so getting nice cases might be slightly harder, or you'll have to order from Korea, not impossible though.
Phones can be bought off the shelf here, they're just more expensive than in Europe/US

I'm pretty sure the american version dev support will be just as good as the international.

Which model is preferable to take overseas?

I noticed the Verizon S3 has a mini-SIM port.. but why? I thought Verizon phones don't have SIM cards at all?
Also, is it true that the AT&T model doesn't have a SIM card port at all? How is it activated then?
Also, the T-mobile model apparently has calling-over-WiFi (uma). Does that only work on t-mobile's network or will it work overseas too?

The micro sim port is for Verizon lte. Tmobiles is also a micro sim, and I think you still have to be connected to Tmobiles network to use wifi calling. Don't know about att.

AT&T version does have a mini sim slot right beside the SD Card. It's a spring loaded slot.

I believe that Verizon has stated that they will enable global roaming on the Galaxy S3 in the future, but I'm not sure on that.

The one on the left is probably SPRINT, as they've been hard-embedding the LTE SIM card into the device to bastardize it (they're doing it with all phones).
The right is probably AT&T/TMO.

Well, the internal chipset has GSM support. You wouldn't be able to change the SIM card, I believe. You'd be stuck on VZW's expensive international roaming plans.
But for global roaming it'd only support 800 Mhz and 1900 Mhz bands, unless Verizon had them add the extra hardware.

The AT&T version uses the same frequencies as the international version.
Side by side comparison i747 and i9300

I travel quite a bit outside of the US for work, and for international travel, your best bet is the ATT version since GSM will give you the most options outside of the North America. As mentioned, Verizon may be offering some limited compatibility, but you will be stuck to their plan, whereas the ATT version (esp if unlocked) will allow you to swap chips in other countries as desired.
I say ATT because band-wise it has the most international compatible ones, and the 2100 band will help in regions like Japan and Korea that don't use standard GSM.
TMo is probably the second choice, but because they use bands like 1700 that no one else really uses, you're still better off with ATT.
The CDMA versions would be the last ones (Verizon and Sprint) since their roaming will be limited.
This is assuming you are picking from the US versions - for Canadian models, just find the carrier that matches ATT (I believe Rogers is the closest).

I'm starting to think I should just get the international version.

Is your home base in the US? Are you on an LTE network? Not sure if international version works with LTE. One reason why we have a different processor in our US phones because of LTE. A South Korean model (international version) will have LTE support but I don't know if its available.
GSM is your best bet if you live in the US. ATT or TMo. Verizon's international roaming is quite expensive.

I would go with the at&t one if you were to choose a us version. Personally if I had to pick I would just go with the international version if that where the case. I wanna see what the quadcore can do in a phone and personally I'm fine running hspa. I currently have no LTE were I'm at anyway. I have to drive like an hour to Baton Rouge for a taste lol.

By the way.... Tmobile wifi calling works anywhere there is wifi..
If you are overseas and you make a phone call back to the usa using wifi calling... Its free.. Its considered a usa to usa call....

Was just about to say this. I think you can also add an international long distance plan for a small fee (that way you can also call israeli numbers), which would make the phone work well anywhere you have wifi, then just get a prepaid sim to use while on the go. Just an idea tho.

I was only considering buying the phone here in the states and using it back home in israel with my regular carrier (Cellcom). Will the t-mobile S3 support calling-over-wifi even if I'm not on t-mobile's network?

Dual SIM Version of Note 4/Note Edge

Hi,
Do you have any info on DUAL SIM Version of Note 4/Note Edge, just like the Note 3 CHINA Version?
Please suggest as having Dual SIM version would make me to wait from buying Note 4. Please Share your views

Interested in this as well. Let's see if anyone chimes in.

I need dual-sim, been searching for info on the Note 4 but not much to go on. Hopefully they will release a dual-sim version.

Etotalk as usual has the dual sim version for pre-order.But will only release mid november and not earlier

I'm using Note 3 Duos N9002, quite happy with it. I'm looking upgrade to Note 4 if it can use 3G/4G on both sim and has good battery life. If not, Z3 Dual Sim maybe my choice!

Does anyone know how long after release the dual sim versions are available? Do they get released at the same time as single sim versions or later?
Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk

No usually 40 days after the c release of single sim

No problem with me about nanosim. I'm looking highend looking, feeling, really good battery life, quality experience device after along time stick with Samsung ( S1 to Note 3 Duos - all plastic, scratched after some months ).
With Dual sim vatiant, I also concern dual 3G HSPA enable on both sim instead of only sim 1 on Note 3 Duos. As I read somewhere, Z3 Dual can access 3G on both sim.

I am tired of Samsung too. After the problem with Knox and the early impossibility of changing SIM on Note3 (such a bull**** policy), I really want to move on and change brand.
But nanosim is a very bad choice: I do have many sim with me (I travel a lot), is possible to change to nano, will think that

Dual SIM N9100
I just bought the Dual SIM N9100 model in Shanghai. I feel I made a terrible mistake because I'm not sure a root will ever be released for this model, preventing me from ever using Google Play, where I have purchased all my software on.
If you don't need to use Google Play at all and have invested in another marketplace available in China (like Samsung's), then this phone is great. Otherwise, wait until Chainfire maybe provides a root. He did for the N9106W China model, but that's not dual sim I think.

Dual sim active means you call and receive call at the same time from both numbers (you can call your self from sim one to sim 2) if its one at the time that's called standby.

Galaxy S6 Duos (dual-sim)

I created this thread for users of the dual sim variant of the Galaxy S6. I'm excited for my phone that will be released on 04/18 here in the Philippines. I pre-ordered the Black 32GB . How about yours?

Already owned Duos 32GB now

What is the model number of the dual sim variant and which country is it from?

Awesome! I'm also interested in the model number and which country is it made. Can you share it to us? Thanks!

http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/mobile/smartphones/smartphones/SM-G9200ZWUTGY
The model name is remained Galaxy S6, not named Galaxy s6 Duos. The model number is SM-G9200 and available in four colour in HK(with Green will be available in next month probably) and only 32GB listed, no 64/128GB offer as selection. The official price is USD$730.5 here.
http://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/product-display-990
WCDMA SIM 1 / SIM 2: WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100, TD-SCDMA: 1880/2010
LTE SIM 1 / SIM 2: FDD:AWS/700/900/1800/2100/2600, TDD: 1900/2300/2500/2600
It does support a wide range of WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE, TDD including almost all network in HK, China, Europe and USA. I can't find out where is it manufactured, it's odd that doesn't mention in the box. But since we are part of China, safe guess is made in China.
There are still two more dual sim variant available in China with other model number as I known and not sure if they got 64/128GB.

SM-G920FD might be a dual sim phone... not sure yet
(SM-G920F is an international unlocked phone... FD suggests international unlocked + dual sim?)

weird..hmmm. i found this at samsung philippines website and it says SM-G920FD ...i'm sure that it is a dual sim version as announced.

Did someone ever have a dualsim card phone and can comment if it uses battery much faster. I live in China and it seems that the Hong Kong version is available as dualsim but I am hesitating as battery life isn't great already and I am sure there won't be any custom rims targeting dualsim phones.

Hi the HK version of dual sim as mentioned above is G9200. I am also based in China and currently in hk for few days. I just bought the s6 32gb 2 days back. Yesterday it gave me 4 hours screen time with 3g data on all the time. I had a lot of google services on yesterday which i have turned off today and will report how it goes.

This time we are all on the same and only exynos platform, custom roms for dual sim model is easier and possible in the future but unliky there will be a lots appear. Indeed, with 3gb ram and so powerful cpu you are enough to live with stock rom and kernel except that you want to get the best battery performance out.
Speaking to the battery life, it just getting better everyday. After a few times of recharge cycle plus the latest ota update yesterday, my battery life seems to be improved up to 50%. You have to be power saving mode enabled if you want to use it full day however. Second sim should consumer a bit more power but it is limited to 2G when your first sim is in 3g or 4g mode, I think 2g only use very little battery.

Is the phone dual 3G/4G mean both sim can have 3G/4G?

Both sim can receive calls at the same time. However, with one being used as 3G/4G and the another one is limited to 2G. Not dual 3G/4G standby.

Thanks for your reply. So it's dual full active not dual standby and you can switch 4g to sim 2 but in this case sim 1 is 2g correct?

Got mine today!
Got mine today but I don't really like the Duos logo at the back. I would prefer just "Galaxy S6".

As you can see from the screenshots, it already told you almost all things. I've got a couple of sim card but currently I only got one nano sim so I can't test the sim2 yet.
Voice call: You are free to pick which sim you would like to dial out and ring people.
Data service: You are limited to use either sim1 or sim2 to go on Internet but you can switch it here easy anytime. Only the data sim will get 3G/4G access and the other sim will switch to only 2G mode.
Dual Sim Always on: When you enable it, you can always receive phone call from both sims at the same time even you are during calls.

Good for you!
BTW
...As I check the model number inside the settings it says SM-G920F..But on all the stickers at the phone box and on the phone it says SM-G920FD....I think we can't just use a SM-G920F custom ROM in the future as there's a dual simcard settings in the phone.

Thanks TheEndHK
I think It's a dual sim dual standby and with the option dual sim always on as it shown in your screenshot you enable call farwarding from sim 2 to sim 1 when you receive a call to sim 2 and talking to sim 1. It's not a real dual active.
Regarding data service if you put your sim card to sim 2 tray and set data service to sim 2 can you get 3G/4g access to sim 2 ?
Thank you very much again.

Dual Sim?

The Moto X Pure manual shows dual sim capability. Wonder if that is the case or if its just a mistake in the manual? Top left corner of the manual clearly states "Moto X Pure".

What is dual sim? http://pocketnow.com/2014/05/20/why-dual-sim-phones-exist

Probably just the moto x play manual

I think the SIM tray holds both the SIM and the micro SD card.

question?
will I have to Cut my Sprint Note 3 sim card to Nano size ?for My Moto X

Or get a new sim. What other option would you think you'd have?

I've read that the Sprint sims are different from other carriers in the thread about how easy it will be to activate this device. Apparently the sims are different for different devices, and the only phone that uses the same sim is the HTC One M9. From what I've read you will need to go into a Sprint store to activate unless you are coming from the M9.

I went to the Sprint store and they gave me a nano sim ....to call in and insert once my Moto X arrives. No problems
They said cutting my note 3 sim to Nano size would not work.

The Sim Holder on the Moto X Style (Pure) holds (1) Sim and (1) SD card, but also has non removable card (Fixed in Place) for a 2nd SIM pre installed.

Just in case anyone's still hoping, a Motorola forum admin who has a Pure Edition answered some questions on the forums there, he said the US version of the phone doesn't have dual sims. On this page: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/e570e4be47.

Will the EU version maybe get Dual Sim?

I wonder if by putting a dual Sim tray in the US phone the functionality would work.
I remember reading there's only one international version of this phone, so would it work?

Checked the moto x play forum and they have been able to enable the dual sim in non dual sim versions of the phone by flashing the rom from the dual sim version!

the brazilian version is dual sim. so maybe a flash and it will work! im not buying one until i know its dual sim. !
if you logon to motorola's brazilian webby and read the spec it says:
SIM card
Intelligent Dual-Chip
Nano SIM
but the bands are:
Networks
LTE cat. 4 (up to 150Mbps)
WCDMA
GSM / EDGE
Bands
GSM / GPRS / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS / HSPA + (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17, 28)
not too sure it will work dual sim in UK

I thought so too. However when I went to my provider, Three UK, to get a nano sim... they just cut my old micro sim from a s4 to nano size with no problems (well, except he had to sandpaper it a bit more to fit).

In India, the Moto X Style (same as the Pure Edition) comes with a tray that holds two nano sims as well as a microSD card on the reverse side. Appears to work well, though only one of the sims is allowed to have access to 4G data.

Any updates to this ?

Has anyone found a dual sim tray for sell? I would be willing to try, including flashing another ROM, just to see if it will work.
Want to be able to use dual SIM to combine my work cell number and personal.
