Downsides to buying the Dual SIM global version?

If someone wants the S7 international version, the correct model is G935F.
Aside from availability, why would anyone not want to buy the dual SIM instead, G935FD? Are there any downsides to the dual SIM vs the single SIM?

No difference if you do not use 2nd sim, if you use 2nd sim then cell activity will increase obviously and risk of higher battery drain when there are poor signal strength
Not sure if your ROM modding options may also be more limited if you wish to keep 2nd sim fuctionality

I just bought one and can't figure out how to get Samsung Pay to work. The stub app is there but it always fails to download. :/ (And on Play Store, says your device is incompatible with this version.)
Other than that, I can't think of any other downsides. But I do wish Samsung Pay worked...

Samsung Pay is available only if Samsung has it officially released on your country. Or else it will show as incompatible (happens to my S6 edge)

I have one... so far so good using 1 SIM

Be aware the second sim uses the SD slot, so you can't have an SD card if you use both sims.

No downsides so far using the 2-sim model. Actually I followed a video tutorial on Youtube and got the SD card to work with both SIMs (regarding to last post).
My only worry is that maybe we won't get as much ROMs as the single SIM variant.

The main feature difference, at least between the Dual SIM international version (this one came with a lot of chinese written on the cling film phones get shipped with, default language was chinese, and even after selecting, the Dual SIM selectin menu still display still shows a couple of chinese characters) and my single sim international version (I believe it is a ME version as using Samsung info, it showed localisation to Egypt) is that the DUOS version only allows 2G/3G connectivity, there is no 4G or LTE option at all when you go into Network Mode, whereas my single SIM version allows you to choose b.w 2G only, 3G only, 3G/2G (Autoconnect) AND LTE/3G/2G (Auto connect).
I believe only SIM1 allows data, SIM2 is calls only, and its not active standby, i.e. if you're on a call on SIM1, and someone calls SIM2, they'll get a busy tone, no call waiting.
I haven't really noticed any major difference in terms of battery usage
If you're not bothered about 4G or LTE, then the Dual Sim is the way to go. It IS possible, with a bit of DIY to use 2 SIMs AND the SD Card at the same time.

Thanks for mentioning that YouTube. I was curious and found one instruction: https://youtu.be/GpRaHpF3cNI. It quite a surgical procedure but doable.
Any 93xF ROM works on the corresponding FD variant.

SIM 1: 4G
SIM 2: 2G only
That's on the S7 specs page (HK or Chinese site). You could also see the youtube video above. Toward the end it's showing exactly that.

Absolutely incorrect information;
I am using G935FD. Both the sim's are 4G Capable.
Any one 4G Sim is active at a time as it is a technology limitation and not phone.
Also can receive call on both sims simultaneously and there is a special setting for same.
And Yes you can use 2 sims and a SD Card together with some efforts.

At first I was going to say that your post is totally false, but then I realized that you have the Chinese/HK SD820 935FD version....
On the Exynos version, contrary to common belief, LTE/4G/3G/2G is ALLOWED on BOTH SIMs..... BUT ONLY 1 CAN HAVE DATA AT A TIME. See attached pics. I've already proven this by using two different SIMs, both with data, in different configurations (1 at a time, both inserted, swapped), and sure enough, SIM2 is capable of DATA.
So SIM2 is NOT JUST CALLS ONLY.
Difference in battery? Don't know really. Haven't been using both SIMs simultaneously enough to make a sound judgement.
The fact that you CAN use DUAL SIM & Micro SD at the same time (with a bit of work), AND have LTE on either SIM, AND be able to root/TWRP/custom ROM - the Exynos 935FD is the way to go....

In the messages app you will see either the sim 1 or sim 2 icon to show which sim you sent the messages with. Thankfully it doesn't show in the status bar

You meant *partially* incorrect, not absolutely as if everything I said was incorrect.
Glad you can chime in.

1 SIM @ 4G (DATA/VOICE/SMS) while the other @3G (voice) possible?

Can I have 1 sim for data & voice running at 4G, while the other sim for voice & sms only in 3G? Or only 2G supported?
Because I read at 1+3 forum that it can actually do this, so I was wondering if the Axon 7 can as well. I don't see why not, correct?
Has anyone tried this? I'm in the US, and would like to be able to run a tmobile mvno sim (4G+voice+sms) + an international sim (voice+sms) that's roaming on AT&T who will shut down 2G soon.

It's a dual 4G sim slot, so yea you can run it like that.

Go to settings - dual sim settings - network mode and on sim 2 tell it GSM only. It will keep sim 2 on 3g. Also on settings -dual sim settings you can turn off mobile data for either sim. Just put t-mobile in sim 1 and at&t in sim 2, shut off mobile data on sim 2, and tell sim 2 gsm only. Done

Thanks for the info, I didn't buy the device yet; but this makes choosing a device even harder since both can do this now (1+3 & Axon 7).
Until recently this was NOT the norm I believe, best I could find was a dual sim phone with 1 sim @ 4G while the other @ 2G only.

Doesn't GSM-only mean 2G? While both slots are hooked up for 2G/3G/4G, I think only one slot can be connected to 3G/4G at a time, the other slot goes down to 2G.
When I have my Verizon SIM in Slot1 (chosen as data connection) and a T-Mobile SIM in Slot2, using apps like LTE Discovery show my A7 connected to Verizon LTE, Verizon 1x (2G for voice calls), and T-Mobile GSM (2G), not T-Mobile HSPA (3G). When I switch the data connection source to Slot2, it connects to T-Mobile LTE and Verizon 1x (2G), not Verizon EVDO (3G).

Yes I was able to confirm LTE and WCDMA simultaneous operation
Hi! Amazingly, yeah this works...you can have LTE on one SIM and WCDMA 3G on the other (voice only). I tested this with two T-Mobile SIMs and was kind of shocked as in the past it seems like all dual-SIM phones are limited to GSM-only on one of the two SIMs, as has been mentioned above...
But...strangely, this won't work when using a CDMA SIM in slot 1 (i.e., Verizon). I have no clue why...I can definitely confirm that my experience is the same as that stated above by xtermmin - the GSM SIM will be limited to EDGE (2G only) when the CDMA SIM is active as the data SIM. But with two GSM operators yes one can be LTE/WCDMA and the other can be WCDMA/GSM. I'll confirm real quick just to make double sure but I seem to recall seeing this in the specs and was able to confirm it myself. I've attached a screenshot showing this - I have SIM 2 enabled for data as you can see but SIM 1 still shows voice-only on UMTS and thus is not just limited to 2G. I hope they fix this phone so that CDMA SIMs will have this same functionality...for now though I can say confidently that two GSM SIMs can be operated as LTE/WCDMA on primary SIM and WCDMA/GSM on secondary SIM simultaneously...really great news considering all the EDGE networks seem to be on their last leg!
EDIT: Oh - and don't mind the fact that the "Cellular Network State" is shown as disconnected - in slot 1 I have an old T-Mobile SIM just for this test - it isn't active at the moment on an account. But for demonstration hopefully it does suffice as it definitely has the phone connected to 3G service on SIM 1 while having LTE service on SIM 2. Also - I've included a 2nd screenshot to show that with Verizon LTE/CDMA on SIM 1 (shown as carrier '123456'), SIM 2 will be limited to GSM-only on T-Mo...really weird - not sure why this limitation exists for CDMA users - I think it's a ZTE bug as simultaneous CDMA 1X and WCDMA is possible with T-Mobile as the data-SIM.

Yeah for sure...I love the phone and all but I really hope ZTE will just fix these annoying CDMA bugs already...Seems like they could fix this stuff with or without Verizon's approval - from the beginning they've kind of hamstrung CDMA and I've never really understood why. Another bug I noticed was that when switching calls to the T-Mobile SIM, VoLTE has to be kicked into gear by toggling the VoLTE toggle and sometimes even putting the phone into airplane mode for a second...from what I've heard this is a unique problem to CDMA use as well.

Thanks for the info. Has this issue been sorted out to your knowledge? We livein 2 different regions, but would only consider getting the Aussie release of this phone this month if it can seamlessly handle 4g/3g, using 2 SIM cards where both are capable of LTE. Will this work? Does it automatically switch data to SIM 2 in order to take 3G voice call, or does it temp. disable data on sim 1 (4g) to allow SIM 2 call?

Actually, worse than I thought...but only a bit

Hi - I just tried this and here's what I found:
If active data is on SIM 2, a call to or from SIM 1 is possible on UMTS (WCDMA 3G) but this will terminate the LTE connection on SIM 2 for the duration of the call. However, a call on SIM 2 will not be a problem for data unless SIM 2 is on EDGE or less...on UMTS or LTE (i.e., a VoLTE call) you'll still have data during the call.
If data is on SIM 1, a call to or from SIM 2 is only possible on EDGE!!! I didn't know this! I guess SIM 2 will always be GSM-only if SIM 1 is the active data SIM. And also - you will lose LTE data on SIM 1 if you receive or place a call on SIM 2 EDGE/GPRS.
So...it looks like the situation isn't as good as I'd hoped - if 3G calling is necessary on a particular SIM card at all times, that SIM should be placed in slot 1. And it'll work well even when SIM 2 is the active data SIM. But, if you need 3G calling at all times on both SIMs, you may be out of luck.
Also, the Axon does not seem to allow you to change the data SIM in the middle of the call...in this scenario, SIM 2 was on LTE and was the active data SIM, and SIM 1 was on UMTS (calls only). I made a call on SIM 1 and then changed the data to SIM 1 to try and get 3G data during my call...but it didn't connect to data until I hung up the call...so it seems that the service state gets frozen when you make a call, in a way.
I hope this info helps...seems like kind of a mixed bag, unfortunately.

Thanks for the. That's pretty backwards by ZTE. Makes no sense. SIM 1 and 2 need to work the same way regardless of WHICH SIM had the 3G incoming call and which had 4G data active at the same time. I read the above as SIM 2 can be 2G only, or is the main SIM for 4G data....so 3G calls can be taken on SIM 1. Yep, backwards!
Axon hasn't sold me. Audio on a phone is important, but the HTC front facing speakers get easily clogged, then it looks horrendous. I'm favouring one of OP3T (as i believe this too has unlocked bootloader and root), or worst case - LG v20 or G5 dual...but neither will be given unlocked bootloaders.

So, I just tried it again and it looks like I was able to achieve a UMTS 3G connection on both SIMs even during a call on SIM 1...perhaps my initial test was in error somehow...not sure. But it looks like dual 3G is possible after all...there may be hope!

Are you sure both are running 3g, because I have had devices that always showed 3g even when connect to 2g networks, really need to test with an app the can see both sims at the same time like network cell info mini.

Yes I'm sure. I was using LTE discovery and the Settings --> Phone Status...not just the signal type indication. It can run dual 3G UMTS and/or HSPA+.

Sure thing. Just to make double sure, I just put my FreedomPop (AT&T) SIM in with my T-Mobile one and set both to WCDMA...And it's confirmed that dual 3G works fine (see screenshots below). So you should be ok! AT&T has decommissioned 2G completely so the fact that I could sustain a dual T-Mobile/AT&T connection when T-Mobile is active for 3G data should hopefully prove that the Axon 7 can get dual 3G. One caveat though - with a Verizon SIM in slot 1, slot 2 is still 2G only...So you will be limited to 2G in slot 2 if you have a CDMA SIM in slot 1 which is data-active. But two GSM SIMs should be ok. Good luck!

So Awesome, does anyone if the same is true for the new ZTE Blade v8 Pro, I sure hope so as I am looking to add both of these to my collection, Using prepaid H2O wireless for calls and text and FreedomPop LTE or Global sims for data... What would be the best setup for that data ( FreedomPop ) on sim 1 or sim 2. H20 is a AT&T MVNO

The only limitation vis-a-vis SIM 1 vs. 2 slot I know of when it comes to GSM SIMs relates to WiFi calling... You can only get WiFi calling on SIM 1. But that shouldn't matter for FreedomPop or H2O I would think so it shouldn't matter. Also, CDMA SIMs only work in slot 1 but of course that should affect you either. So either slot should be fine I'd think!

SIM Slot 2 - No Network

Hi Everybody,
I am stuck with my OP2 OOS 3.5.6.
So after i got the 3.5.6 i was not able to get VOLTE. So i found a resolution on the OP2 forum:
They advised to downgrade to 3.1.0 and then to upgrade to 3.5.6, did that and was able to get VOLTE, but another issue started, as in India Jio is a 4g service and I read somewhere that we will have to use it in SLOT 1 , so i did the same, and Vodafone in SLOT 2.
When i did that Jio works fine but there is no network for Vodafone.
After that i have tried the following:
*Selecting network manually.
*Changing the band.
*Reinstalling the OS.
*Resetting the network settings.
*Wiping out data and cache.
Nothing worked for me, can somebody suggest me something.

Yes Vodafone does support 2g but when I select 2g and the Sim in the slot 2 it does not work.
Yes the Vodafone does work fine with 3g and 2g network in slot 1.
Yes the Sim 2 does show the imei number under settings.

You can select vodafone in slot 1 with 2g then put jio in slot 2 and select 4g as the 1+2 has dual LTE standby so jio should work fine on slot 2

Does really op2 has dual stand by, as I am not able to get volte and I have the Jio in slot 2.
Also I contacted op2 customer care and they mentioned that it will only support one 4g and other will be only 3g.
Does it work for you if yes can you please let me know what are the settings you have.

Dual sim standby works fine for me but I'm not a Jio user.
OnePlus support are wrong, If your data sim is 4g, the other drops to 2g not 3g.
Not sure what your issue is though as I've only heard of it affecting some (but not all) Jio users.

You both are right they did mention 2g,my mistake that I mentioned 4g.
Yes I got a few users who mentioned the same of not getting network in the second slot. I did got a hint from somebody that it might be an issue with the update and a fix is in the pipeline. But again its just a hint and not sure.
Thanks a lot for all the help.

Data with 2 sim ?

Hello,
i hesitate to take a second sim, but my interest is not to call but to have data.
Do you know if i can use data with sim 1 and sim 2 in same time, or the sim 2 is just to have another phone number and not specialize for data.
I have search, and it seems tha the sim 2 is not in LTE for the data but only GPRS/EDGE, that does not really interest me, does someone has test that ?
Thanks

4G Data works on both SIMS! The SIM where data is enabled will automatically switch to 4g/3g/2g and the other SIM will revert to 3G/2G. There is no restriction on where you wanna use 4G.
This is same with most of dual SIM phones as of now.

Thanks for the explication.

if you have dual sim version you should check if the sim is in the correct slot (only first slot has lte)
else you propably dont have lte enabled either in the settings (search for lte in the phone settings) or your provider did not enable lte for you
