S7 Edge Models

Anyone know what the different models of the S7 Edge are going to be? If precise information (bands, capacity, dual sim, etc..) can be shown this could be useful.
Thanks

The main difference is in the CPU/GPU and different radio chips i presume. The America`s will have the SD 820 cpu and Europe and maybe the rest of the world the Exynos 8890.

Agreed. But i would like to have more info. Like the note 5 has so many variants. N920I / C / CD / 9200 / G / K / T etc...
The US, EU and Asians don't have the same bands it could be tricky for the buyer who is in a hurry to buy the wrong one.
I can't seem to find the different models online.

Great list! which means that the G935FD would be the European Dual Sim variant... for once Europe might just get a good dual sim galaxy.

Check eBay if you are in a hurry, there is I think 1 more for grabs of the g935fd. Apparently the second SIM slot can also be used for sdcard in case you don't need the second SIM.... But that is still to be checked.

It can definitely be used as SD if you wish. Go to samsung.com and switch to Indonesia. Find out more on s7 and edge, click on hardware and scroll down, and you will see dual sim.
I have tried the same with a few European countries and yet to find one with dual sim.

It's indeed funny that the Swiss site only shows the SD and doesn't mention the dual sim (i'm from CH like you).
I just called Swisscom, and they had no idea if it was possible...So i contacted Samsung Switzerland and they told me that the phones sold in Switzerland will only have the possibility of having 1 sim and 1 SD (G935F EUR model), and that the second slot will not be able to take an extra SIM (they could be wrong). So the G935FD is going to be a rare beast...
the G935F is going to host the Exynos (which we all knew i guess)

I've been reading a lot about dual Sim phones recently. Correct me if I'm wrong but to my understanding it is not enough that is is hardware-ready, it needs 2 IMEIs as well.
Let's take the recent Galaxy A series for example, they all have a hybrid tray SIM1 + SIM2/SDCard but they are being restricted here in Germany (and probably elsewhere). Being sold as single SIM capable
If we take the previous Galaxys like the S5 Duos (G900FD) and the Note 5 (N920CD) for reference, the SM-G935FD will most probably be sold in the UAE and will support Europeans LTE Bands 3, 7 and 20.

Are all these international phones locked to local carriers? You can't buy a UK 935f and pop a US AT&T sim in it, right?

The European ones are generally unlocked. They will have different radios to US ones so your reception and battery life may not be as good as a US version.

G935F- 1SIM Chip CPU Exynos 8890
G935FD-2SIM Chip CPU Exynos 8890
G935T- 1SIM Chip CPU Snapdragon 820
G935A- 1SIM Chip CPU Snapdragon 820

935F and 930F are models made for the EU. Got confirmation from samsung and operators in the EU. So the D would logically be the dual on these models. Right?

That's certainly how I read and have seen it listed in model no postings

F/FD, Actual hardware differences between dual sim and standard?

Hey everyone.
Since Samsung's decision to unify all the devices sold to vendors into one unique device spread to all providers in the USA (the Snapdragon version) isn't it possible they did the same with the Exynos version and just changed the tray for the dual sim models, the hardware being in fact the same for both? (dual modem, dual sim reader, etc)
It would be nice if someone tried to fit a dual sim tray into a single sim S7/S7E. I've heard there are some S7e phones in the wild that do not have the DUOS name written on the back but are in fact the FD model.
Thoughts?

I'm in middleeast and yesterday i went to samsung store to buy one and store guy offered me the s7 edge 935f but as he said i can use either with two sims or one sim with memory I'm confused so i didn't buy it
Im not sure its the snapdragon or exynos

I think they only sell the Exynos outside of the USA

It would be very interesting.

dual sim tray into a single sim S7/S7E
I have the s7 edge single sim G935F but want the dual sim capability and wondered about whether it was just the tray, so i purchased a dual sim tray using just the one sim, i thought if i put it in the second slim slot it would still register but it didnt, so now i am considering trying to install the G935FD dual sim firmware. i have found threads where folks have done it the other way around, dont understand why but cant seem to find anyone that has tried changing from single to dual.

It will not work...

The G935FD has two IMEIs, one for each SIM slot. Even if you got a G935F to recognize both SIMs, the second SIM slot wouldn't have an IMEI, and you wouldn't be able to register it. There's no difference in G935F firmware and G935FD firmware at all. Its a matter of low level software and processes that recognize the SIM and assign the IMEI.

Who's attempting for 2 sims and a sd card together hack ??

All must be aware that S7 is capable of using 2 sims as well as Micro sd card at same time as demonstrated by user at

Little risky but gonna try sometime.
One pro-tip: To save your battery usage its recommended to use one sim as battery drain will be significantly much faster with 2 active sim cards. But that's just me.

I just did it on my SM-G935FD (S7 Edge dual sim). Works well so far.
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/insert-2-nano-sim-micro-sd-card-t3342709

Hmm is the S7 used different from the 'normal' G935F? I thought there are different types with dual sim and without... i also do not have a tray with dual sim. But i wonder if i could buy a tray and have dual sim. Stupid question maybe, but the link does not refer to a basic dual sim s7 edition. They just write s7.

Do the 2 trays have the exact same size and be inserted in any S7 edge phones? Cause I'm in Europe so my tray can't accept 2 simcards at all, it's 1 simcard and 1 sdcard.
Cause if they are of the exact same size, I'd like to try and buy one and try this

The user dbux stated that the problem is not the tray, but the phone. According to his point of view, only FD models have pins for the second sim. I'm very confused!!

Obviously you need the dual sim fd model to try this, they're only sold in asia. Dont try anything.

Not sure what the confusion is, this can only be done on dual sim fd phones.

@peachpuff
We know that this can only be done on dual sim fd phones. Vivelafrance and I would like to do a different thing. What? We would like to insert the tray of FD model in F model to see if F model read two sim cards.

Then modify the sim tray with a knife so a nano sim fits in the sd slot, still don't think it'll work though.

Single/Dual SIM versions?

I've read that the phone will come in two versions, one without the second SIM card slot (but still the uSD). Is there a way to know which version will ship in Europe? You can see the versions number on the official website: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/mobile-phones/huaweip10plus-en-sup.htm
VKY-L09 is single SIM
VKY-L29 is dual SIM
I don't get why they would remove this functionality for some parts of the world.

A lot of companies are backwards having this hybrid slot, giving you the choice of one (dual SIM) or the other (single SIM + expandable storage), although they are stuck in the 2013 bubble...some companies have actually moved on from there, but I'm surprised why this has not developed with major phone manufacturers.

I received my pre-order yesterday, it's the VKY-L09 single SIM variant in the Netherlands, so I suppose the same is true for the rest of Europe.

I was speaking with a Huawei 'expert' at Carphone Warehouse yesterday, and asked about the dual/single situation in the UK. He said he has been told by an insider that a ROM flash wil be made available to enable the dual sim mode in single sim phones. He said the actual board and connector inside the phone are already in place, it's just the ROM that disables it and the sim tray that are different. He said his source said the ROM will be available in a month or two and the SIM trays will start popping up on eBay.....
Sounds like either the biggest marketing play ever to sell phones and hope no one really cares it doesn't happen, or Huawei realise the issue, and despite the UK networks not wanting it when they provde the phone to us, Huawei realise the potential of offereing a dual SIM option. I have to say he did not give me the hard sell at all, he said they only have a black phone in stock (and only one) and if I wanted white/gold (which I do) to wait a few days and try again. He had a P10 of his own, and was gushing about the P10 Plus like a schoolboy geek!
So there is hope yet!

Just been speaking to a senior manager at Huawei UK who picked up on this when I asked their Twitter account when the update would be available...
IT IS NOT TRUE the actual hardware is different with the single SIM version only having a single aerial so there's no way it can be flashed to make it duel SIM
WHy h why do sales people feel the need to say things that are not true!
Anyway my (probably single SIM) P10 Plus should be arriving today .....

Hi this is the reason I came here, the SIM tray for my VKY-L09 capable to put two SIM card, just the software not support. So maybe if Flash the dual SIM ROM can use as VKY-L29.

What I'm saying is people at any company will tell you anything to stop tampering with it both software and hardware. I have a dual SIM firmware on my l09 edition. If i can get a dual SIM tray or nodded tray I'll give it a go. Until both phones have been disassembled and had a look then all we can do is hope and try

So that means Huawei lied to me? I guess possible..... not wanting single SIM to be easily changed to dual SIM.
So ALL we need is the SIM tray? The hardware definitely inside?

Wonder which country have the L29. UK only L09, I am thinking dual sim L29 as it will come in handy to have 2 sim if needed.

Hi all,
I've get my P10 Plus in UK couple of days ago. I was really disappointed that model doesn't support dual sim. Huawei Support also told me that my phone is single SIM only plus SD Card. But when I took a torch and flash inside SIM card slot I can easily see second set of sim card pins right upon empty space in tray. So I think it's highly possible to change ROM only and get Dual Sim Version. We need to wait couple weeks to release files for both devices and than check that

If you rebrand to a dual sim model, you can use both sims. Many people reported success already. Google for rebrand huawei p10 plus -- most success has been reported if you rebrand to VKY-L29C636 version.

Confirmed, i rebranded and flashed the VKY-L29C636 on my single sim and it worked, the only thing that i lost is the theme function. Somebody say how can i fix it?

Dual sim support

How to check if my device support dual sim? I bought it in Israel.

Just pop the sim tray open if it is dual-sim, you may put a sim card, parallel to the first one, where your microSD slot is.
And I believe that the mention 'FD' will denote double sim models. For instance in all likelihood, if you go to Settings>About phone, your model number will be 'SM-G950FD' if it is dual sim, SM-G950F (or some other letters, cannot remember all the international variants) if it is single-sim.

If it doesn't support dual sim is there any way to fix it. For example by changing the tray. Or there should be support on a hardware level?
