SM-G950F Single or Dual SIM? Does it have microSD slot? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy the S8, I read the reviews on the seller's page saying that it's phone model is SM-G950F. Is that a dual or single sim? If it's single does it have a microSD slot?
Thanks a lot
Correction: from the screenshots I got from the reviews, the phone model is SM-G950F but the product code is SM-G950FZKDXSG

SM-G950F is a single sim s8 model.

All S8 are dual sim/sim+micro sd. Some call it the Hybrid Slot.
You have 2 options:
1. put in 2 nano sim cards
or
2. 1 nano sim card and 1 SD card

So my 950u is and can be used as a dual SIM?

I try a micro in my SIM slot where the sd goes sideways like the dual SIM and still won't even for the slot. Do I have to purchase the dual SIM model SIM tray

So that tells me how to put the single SIM in and sd card which I knew how to do. I also know that you remove the sd card and flip the 2nd SIM sideways versus the direction of sd card and micro and nano does not fit.

I am sorry, I thought I read 950FD.
My apologies. In 950FD the D stands for Duos (dual sim).
950F is a single sim device.

If you have admitted at the end of the thread that you are wrong you should edit your answer to "single" also at the beginning of the thread. Not everybody reads through all the msgs.

Confused between g935f and g935fd version of s7 edge

Are all the single sim version of g935f that is international unlocked
I'm considering buying this product from dubai and use it in india on Indian sim carriers
If someone could guide with the correct model and are all single sim g935f international unlocked models?
g935f is international unlocked but only use 1sim card
g935fD is international unlocked but dual sim capabilities (D stand for duos)

Means purchasing any model would be safe, considering I want to use it in a different country on a different carrier?

i would recommend you buy the DUOS model because 2 sim better than 1 and the price is the same(at least here is KSA) but i think Dubai is the same price or max 100 dh

True, instead the duos is cheaper and dubai phones are all unlocked if I'm not mistaken?

buy Dual SIm slot

So I just bought the Moto X style and I see it doesn't have a second sim slot so I was wondering, can I buy a new sim tray on ebay and put it in my Moto x style? And If I do that will it work for my Moto X style? Or do I have to flash a custom ROM to enable that dual SIM feature :/

From where did u bought ur moto x style?
If in the features it was given dual sim then they should have provided u sim tray alongside also? Why to buy a new simtray?
I suggest that from wherever u bought it just return and get a new piece instead

I'm from VIetnam and I bought it here also, and I think this is the only version they have with 1 SIM tray. I don't think they have a 2 Sim tray version :/

yyyeeaahh, I think i'll stick with the 1 slot for now, right now I don't wanna spend something that which is wasteful :/.
I am almost 100% sure it won't work. not only does the style not have a multisim tray, but I am pretty sure it doesn't have the hardware to read the second sim anyway

Dual SIM from carrier OTA

Upon downloading the OTA there are 2 files namely update_data_full_vodafone_default.zip and update.zip all I want to know is if I flash update.zip will I get dual SIM.
Thank you
i dont see any reason why you should not get dual sim. or did you convert your phone before ??
I did not convert it, it came as a single sim. Vodacom apparently disable the dual SIM.. @enjac you mean if I flash the update.zip there is possibility of getting dual SIM

Enabling VoLTE

Hi, is there any way to enable VoLTE on B380 P9 Lite?
If your provider supports it and you have this option in your tariff, VoLTE is automatically activated.

That's not true. Mi sim support VOLTE 100% sure. But i have not that option in p9 lite (vsn-L31 B397 no brand)

Yeah, your SIM, did you activate this in your tariff or contract? You must explicitly have the option VoLTE in your tariff, not just LTE itself.
Of course. I contacted my contractor and activated it. More, i tried sim in huawei mate 10 pro, and volte works correctly.
What is your P9 lite model version?

Okay, i dont know why it is not worked for you.
I have a VNS L31, C432 3GB Dual Sim.
Uhm, you have dual sim, mine is single sim.
Maybe i could flash dual sim firmware? In that case, do you know if i could use anyway my sd card using one sim card?

I use my SIM on Slot 1 and my SD Card in Slot 2. Slot 2 is in Hardware Base only for SD Card or SIM on EDGE / 2G Network. It can not handle UMTS / 3G or LTE. This worked only on SIM Slot 1.

Ok, i'm going to convert it to dual sim. Can you tell me your current version number? Mine is B397, but i think it is not the same for dual sim.

With a dual-sim model...
You can choose the Slot with 3/4G...but only 1.
Slot 2 can be 3/4G also.
It's possible:
1. Slot 1 3/4G - Slot 2 2G
2. Slot 1 2G - Slot 2 3/4G

I installed VNS-L31C432B370, dual sim enabled. No volte option!
Anyway, are you sure you update was B389? Because this update is for single sim L31!!! Are you sure you was in stock firmware when you saw volte option? It seems you not remember good...

Installed VNS-L31C432B398 Dual Sim, no option at all.
It seems you are the only one having C432 with volte option... Or... i think you had a branded firmware!
You can try Magisk module VoEnabler or just manually enable it.

That's possible but i have I bought the smartphone from the electronics store. Without a network provider. It is without branding. I do not know why most of this option does not exist. Maybe it just depends on the region.
