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.

As listed on xda, N9106W, N9100, N9109W are dual sim variant. But now you said N9106W is not. Could you confirm again by a source? Tks

Sorry, I was uncertain when first checking as another source didn't explicitly list that model as dual sim. However, after double-checking, it is indeed a dual SIM model. Thx.

both sim support GSM only, but only the 1st sim can support 4G, the other is only support 3G （but some people said it only support 2G)
what do u mean by full active sim?unlocked?yes it is unlocked version
if u are inside china it's easy to buy the n9100 version, it cost around 5399 yuan..(estimated around $878 in my city)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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?

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.

Hi
Is the phone dual sim dual active mean both sim can receive calls same time not dual standby ?
Is the phone dual 3G/4G mean both sim can have 3G/4G?
Thanks.

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 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.

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.

Question to the people who are using the dual SIM version... Why is it when you make calls via the non data SIM cuts off the data completely? I means it's really annoying that I can't make any calls and use the data simultaneously.

Because the xz is not a dual active phone. It is a dual standby phone.
Both sims can "listen" for activities i.e. Wait for incoming calls but only one sim can be actively making calls/data sessions at any instance.

This is crap, especially with disabling of data.

I'm also wondering the same... Sigh.
I flashed my SG XPERIA XZ set to 6.0.1 MY ROM and got the OTA Nougat update.
No VoLTE, reception is a tad worse. The UI lags and is a bit slower than stock 6.0.1
Flash back to SG country variant 6.0.1. Will wait and see if it's the same build on SG. If yes, I won't be updating.

Thanks for trying.. I was thinking of doing that this weekend, but you saved me a flashing
Another week passed by, no SG firmware yet ?
Hk is already out already, SG still nothing
Any news on the SG Nougat rollout?
Any info regarding the Duos version of S8 ?
Is it going to be released at the same time with the single sim ?
Is going to be an Hybrid (SDcard or second SIM) or a full dual SIM )+ sdcard ????
Thanks
Can any one confirm if sim2 is 2G Only? (when you have a s8 Duos in your hand )
The model number SM-G955FD denotes that Samsung would launch the dual-SIM variant of the Galaxy S8 Plus in India. The device is expected to feature a 6.2-inch curved Super AMOLED display with QHD resolution, an Exynos 8895 or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, iris as well as fingerprint scanners, and a USB Type-C port.

Recently, from my experience in the European, Middle Eastern and Asian versions, unless its locked or sold by any telecom company, its always a dual sim. Like the s7 and rest his soul note6 (and all A and C series).. Best way for you when its released is to buy it online from one of the top online sellers in any of these regions, and they are alot. Personally never seen a single sim version from Samsung in the last year or 2 in these regions.. Funny enough, US market is what gets the single sim always..
No, in Western Europe, it's only single sim unfortunately. We also have to buy from ebay resellers to find dual sim version. However, I'm not sure I want to spend that much money to buy a phone on ebay with limited support & warranty (the phone coming from a different region)

Dual-Sim version is hybrid slot
Best regards
We will have to do the simcard glued on the sd card hack again then. I might even recycle the one I have got in my S7 edge dual sim
So if the hybrid tray is the same that on the S7 edge we will be able to get 2 simcards + 256gb sd card

I agree with you. I did not think the limited warranty was a big deal until I recieved a phone with a defect. As nice as it is to have a dual sim and not have to carry 2 phones, I will not be buying out of country again.

Agree too. I love my dual sim S7Edge. But I don't root anymore, and I want it to be local.
Bought 2 phones from Amazon, both went wrong, I didn't even know they were from abroad. One from Brazil, one from France. They wouldn't honour the warranty and I was £70 out of pocket both times.
Do love duos though! Just wish they would do it in the UK.

Dual sim by default?
Nope. You have to order the DUOS version. I ordered mine on ebay from UAE last week.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
The UAE and Indian version of S8/S8+ are dual sim variants. 1st slot is SIM only, while the 2nd slot is a hybrid, where you can decide to insert either a SIM card or a MicroSD card.
Both the SIMs will be 4G (Dual 4G), unlike the S7 edge which was 4G+2G.
And no, there will not be a Duos branding on the backside of the Indian Variant, while the UAE variants do have the branding.
They are being sold online.. Only the 955FD models are dual sim. Middle East gets dual sim by default (only choice).. Go to any online shopping store (based in uae that ships overseas) and you can buy one easily.. I recommend mike&smith or mygsm (add Dubai or UAE to the Google search for the local stores results and contact them)..
Yes in Morocco we got dual SIM as well by default I was surprised when they handed me the box and read FD instead of the usual F we get

I have my S8 duo from Dubai since Saturday. You can only have one SIM as 4G whilst the other is 3G.

Whether it's right or not, who knows.

It's either you have got dual SIM or a single sim with micro SD card.

Oh, my bad then. I was misinformed. But, even 4G+3G is good for me.

Can you please confirm this? I'm in the US and 2G has been shutdown by one of my carriers. So when I switch data to the first SIM, it forces my second SIM into 2G and I get no reception. If the standby SIM on the S8 is 3G, and not 2G, that would resolve the issue for me.
Using Oneplus 2 currently

Second one is definitely 3G on my phone. I am attempting to attach a screenshot for the first time so if it works you will see it.
Hi Guys,
Im on holidays in Asia and I found a Samsung dealer with stock of the Galaxy Note FE black onyx, international version (not the Korean), dual SIM (new).
Do you think it's worth it to buy them? I'm tempted to buy one and maybe sell one on eBay.
How much are they currently selling at? I just found some second hand ones on eBay.
Thanks!
Best regards

So I'm currently using the international note fe. I live in Malaysia so that's why it's the international variant.
I noticed when unboxing that it has a warning saying that this note fe can only be used with an sea sim card only.
There was a regional lock guide in it saying that this note fe is a sea model and only should be used with sea sim cards.
It also stated that to use sim cards from other regions, a cumulative call over 5 mins must 1st be made with a sea sim card. If a sim card from other regions is used for activation, the phone may not work.
Hi!
I guess yours is from a Malaysian carrier, the ones I saw here are being sold directly by Samsung, therefore there are no such limitations.

Hi,
I bought it, it works flawless with my European SIM card.
There was no card included mentioning any restrictions.
The current price here is around 500usd.

If I may ask...does Samsung Pay work with your European SIM card...or is it the same as the Korean versions...i.e. can't use Samsung Pay without a Korean SIM?

Which exact model number do you have? (S, K, L , F, F-DS)
If it's the F or F-DS, no SIM Unlocking is required.
If it's one of the Korean variants (S, K. L), it might be SIM locked, if the phone was purchased on contract & still has an outstanding balance.
The only other scenarios I can think of is that your service provider is selective in which phones it allows on their network, or, the phone just isn't compatible with your service provider.
If the phone is indeed SIM Locked, there's sites on the web that provide unlocking for a fee.If you end up having to go this route, contact the provider to make sure that they can indeed unlock your particular phone.

No, just the single SIM with SD Card slot.
I've had both the "S" & "K" versions (both single SIM), I'd imagine the "L" version is single SIM as well.

Battery life

Hi, I just bought N935F DS and as you already have this model for some time can you tell me how long is battery lasting for you?
Are you using dual sim?

Hi, I get an average of 6 hours SOT and 24+ hours battery.
The battery is much better than I expected.

Battery life is fine,I can make it through a workday or weekend day w/no problem.
I don't have any real hard data,I haven't bothered for the last few years to pay attention,most phones do fine any more.
FWIW,here's some info on my set-up:
1) Four G-Mail accounts,all syncing all day.
2) Bluetooth: Samsung Gear S2 & I use a B/T headset (streaming Google Play Music) for 30-60 minutes per day.
3) I don't do social media,if you do,use the browser of choice instead.......I hear most (facebook) social media disease apps kill battery life. If the mentioned app(s) do OK for you,carry on.
4) Screen on-time varies,probably about 3hrs/day tops,you could easily get another 2-3 hrs before you see a low battery warning.
5) As for SIM usage,it seems to have little effect whether I use one or two.
With this typical usage,I still have anywhere between 30%-50% battery left after about 12 hrs total on-time.
If you have less,check your WI-FI/data connectivity & check your social media apps (if you use 'em) for battery usage.
I have the dual sim model too but I'm using a single sim and an sd card. I dont do facebook as well but will do instagram occasionally. morning full charge usually will end up around 30+ percent with around 6 hours of screen on time with whatsapp, wechat and instagram.
Samsung Galaxy Note FE SM-N935F SIM locked
Hello guys, i recenctly bought a Note FE and it is not working in my country. It says SIM Network pin blocked. Enter SIM network PUK. Please i need help
Its not your phone, it is the sim card locked probably because wrong pin was entered 3 times and now you need PUK code to unlock. If u still have the original plastic frame for your sim or paperwork it should contain the pin and puk codes otherwise u need to contact your telco
Unlocked Phone
Guys is there a website or a software that you insert the IMEI number and it does provide you with the code that the phone requires when you insert an overseas SIM in it.
This is the phrase that you might probably see when you insert a SIM card in a locked phone "SIM network unlock PIN" then you should enter 8 digit numbers. Did anyone manage to get such an issue solved?
The story similar to the other people, the phone was purchased from the Middle East, but it didn't work overseas, and the message above kept appearing when a SIM card is installed.
Steps of the solution:
Called the network provider, they said they can't do anything
Contacted Samsung overseas, they said you gotta contact Samsung in the place the phone was purchased.
Contacted Samsung in the place the phone was purchased, they haven't replied yet.
So if you have solved such an issue, please do share the solution with us.
Thanks,
Medo
