It might exist but only on China or India markets. The rest of the world doesn't care to have two sims.

But Htc one dual sim exist. There is a big possibility that Samsung will follow the trend...(just rember that Samsung has S4 active experience so S5 is waterproof, and there is S4mini dual sim.
I don't live in so called mature market (us,UK,de,etc) but I live in European Union contry and I have a problem: I need to carry 2 phones all the time becaouse I have a phone from my employer and one personal. My employer does not give me internet acces. In that situation all my problems will be gone with a flagship dual sim...
P.S. I owned all the flagships from Samsung original S to S4, all the note series, xperia Z1 and xperia Z ultra and Galaxy gear. ATM I use S4mini dual for work+second sim for Internet and Z Ultra for everything else.
P.P.S. If Samsung will go out with S5 dual sim I will be the first to preorder.
Since Dual SIM is mostly popular in not rich countries that use prepaid those phones are usually low cost and therefore have low specifications that is why flagship phones like S5 will not have Dual SIM. Do you need full Dual SIM or you just want to swith between them. I am using dual SIM adapter.
I will not be a fan of S5 dual SIM. The S5 is perfect as it is. And having dual SIM will just lower its specs.
I disagree with your opinion. Tje chinese version of S5 dual sim is exactly like the international version. Too bad they don't release a international version...

Yeah! I saw it, it's only available in china Telecom
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Dual-SIM-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Goes-Official-in-China-436041.shtml
I'm also waiting for this phone to come out. I'm currently using HTC one dual sim. No complain about it except the camera. Hope Samsung S5 camera is better.
The specs are the same as the none dual sim. One thing we're not sure is the built in memory, it does not say on gsmarena.

Hello,
You mentioned a DS adapter. I take it that means you needs at least one SIM card spot available or is there an alternative. Such as a schematic for a HW setup that interfaces to the device without a slot available. I'm American with opportunities to work and live in Brazil. Sprint 's CDMA is ok for the US, but my SGSIII was not able to write GSM PRLs ( and function) and my phone was worthless there.
I was hoping that some commonality between HW revisions (every single business model supports this concept, why not here??) where Samsung could atleast use the same PCB footprints and populate components as needed for regional readiness.
Any ideas for my situation are welcomed... Or, should I say a univrsal situations.
In most countries the 9009 is useless as the 2nd sim is for CDMA only, we'll have to wait and see if china will release a 9002 version with both sim socket to support GSM and 3G.
The S3 (i9302), S4 (i9502), Note 2 (N7102) and Note 3 (N9002) all have the dual sim version, so I expect the S5 to have it soon.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems most/all varients will have GSMx on 1 and CDMAx (in my case) as 2 on standy by. I see SIM as the easiest way to switch between, but if carriers such as Oi (Brasil) has PRLs that can be first unhidden and then wrote as the radio it would solve some issues. I just believe SIM technology is simlplier and less work involved (to obtain the PRLs).
Since we can put our phones on other carriers Sprint to Verision for example, that should apply on supported GSM network also? I was just stuck on my Sprint SGSIII having no ability to deviate from the BS CDMA networks...

Sure the camera HW is better with stills and video (boo on the 1X zoom though). SW optimization (including Build Prop changes )and better applications will drive overall pix quality and reference. The question will be how much, my SGSIII is far better for both than any iPiece around, IMO......

if you want one to access the sprint network, I think you will have to get the phone from sprint, if they have one, the G9009 only support cdma 800 from the chinese provider, I think it's locked to the network.

Essentially I see that I’m forced under that scenario (which is fine), but just interested in knowing if it will internally support GSM on its secondary antenna and how versatile (will it support in PRL (or equal) development on most or all GSM supported networks, specifically Brazil and Italy) it will be. Also the difficulty to change between 1 &2, if there is any. Thanks

These are the actual bands for the g9009 on the china telecom network.
sim 1
CDMA 800MHz
WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHz will only pickup signal whiles roaming
GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
sim 2
GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
if you have used dual sim phones before, you will have no problem with this, when receiving call, it will indicate which sim with the icon 1 or 2.
when making a call through the dialing pad, there is a icon sim 1 or sim 2 to send.
when making a call through the phone book, as soon as you press the telephone number, there is a pop up to select which sim you want to make the call from.
There are other alternative with the slide down menu or through a widget.
all these are from my i9192, but should be the same.
hopefully they will bring out a g9002 version and not have gsm only for sim 2, but if this is for china market it seems to be the case, at present it seems like the i9192 (S4 mini dual sim) is the only samsung phone that support WCDMA and GSM in both sim 1 and 2 if i'm guessing correctly.
Here is that phone we dream of:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_dualsim_version_hits_china-news-8222.php
However this phone will not see the light of the day in other countries besides China. Sad. I actually have some strong arguments against S5 due to dual sim adapter which I like to use. Probably using this adapter might affect the water resistance capabiluty. Since everything is so tightly packed under the cover when adding dual sim adapter there is a risk of leaking the water in since it might cause the cover not to close very tight. This is what I currently have in S4. So it is water resistance or ability to switch between sim cards. Choice is yours.
Questions about s5 dual SIM
Hi folks I have many questions....
Where as possible buy the S5 dual SIM?
The model is G9009D?
What the frequency for 4G/LTE? Here in Brazil the frequency is 2600.
Can I use both SIM card for GSM?
Has Google Play?
Has english language?

read through the thread, the info has been posted.
hi,
lets talk about the "D" (G9009D) I think its means Dual-Sim no more "2"(G9002) and it will be conflict with N9002 note 3 if thy use "2"
from my understanding this phone will work in china as CDMA 800MHz(using china telecom sim) and will work as WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz out side china if using any els provider sim.
please correct me if i am wrong,and if some can confirm
Hey!
Are each sim slots 4G capable in the dual sim variant? Because I have an LG G3 currently and the thing is only one slot is 4G capable, the other one is restricted to 2G (which just kills the point of a dual sim device for me).
Thanks in advance!
Nope, same as you have. 1 - LTE + 1 - GSM
To be precise: only one SIM slot at a time can be chosen as full LTE/3G/2G capable, the respective other SIM slot is then only 2G capable without any data. But you can change the selection of the slots on the fly, so it does not matter which SIM is in which slot.
That's great to hear. Which region phone do you have? Just curious.

Thanks! That is actually great. My LG G3 has two slots, but one of these is strictly 2G, I mean really LG? lol. So you cannot change it on the fly.

I have a XT1562 EU retail unit single-converted-to-dual-SIM.
I was curious if anyone had tried dual CDMA carriers on their dual sim G4s. My understanding is that for 3G cdma voice the device itself is registered as opposed to a 3G GSM which registers the sim, so only one CDMA service could be active at a time. Changing to another CDMA carrier would mean going through Verizon's or Sprints's activation process each time you wanted to change to a different sim (this was my experience with a 3 sim adapter). I'd love to hear someone more knowledgeable chime in on this subject and provide some feedback on whether or not this is how it would work with a dual sim moto G4.
I'd love to have dual CDMA sims because I have free service with ringplus (Sprint MVNO) but it's spotty in rural areas, whereas Verizon has the most solid signal in the remotest regions.....however I think it's a pipedream. I am aware that you can do a CDMA LTE sim switch and get data without a problem (I'v done this with a triple sim adapter), it's voice and text that I'm interested in being able to switch to, without having to go through the activation process. And because I need this voice and data in remote areas without LTE, VOLTE isn't an option.
I hope that isn't too convoluted or arcane a question, I realize it's not a common scenario. But with the Moto 4G being carrier friendly to all the north american providers (GSM and CDMA) and having a dual sim slot, it's the first plausible solution to what I'd like to achieve.
Unfortunately, the only G4 models that have CDMA are the US models (XT1644 G4+, XT1625 G4, XT1607 G4 Play, XT1609 G4 Play for Verizon Prepaid), and the US models are only available in single-SIM format.
From what I've been gathering, there are no dual-SIM CDMA phones that fully work with US carriers available yet. The OnePlus 3 comes sorta close, it's dual-SIM and has CDMA Band 0, which Verizon uses in most markets, but at the moment it either works in 1x/EVDO mode for calls/text, or LTE mode for data. However, it's lacking CDMA Band 1 (Verizon & Sprint) and CDMA Band 10 (Sprint), so it's not ideal. It's also lacking Verizon's main LTE Band 13, and all of Sprint's LTE bands.
Slightly good news, though. The upcoming ZTE Axon 7 is dual-SIM and FCC testing indicates that it fully supports all US carriers, including all Verizon and Sprint CDMA bands.

I'll keep an eye on it.
Would the concept work the way I described in the first post though? I'm really curious if the phone would require sprint or verizon activation when switching cdma sims. I don't have a great deal of experience, simply my results with a multisim adapter. I was unable to test the adapter with a verizon and sprint capable phone (like a nexus 6) but tested it with an Verizon samsung s5 using gsm sims and a verizon LTE sim. The gsm sims (various at&t and t-mobile MVNO) were of course no problem, but switching to (or back to) a verizon LTE sim required teh verizon activation process (but not for data, as the LTE was active without activation).
Is it possible to have a dual sim (or even single sim) phone that supports both carriers (Verizon and Sprint) that could switch back and forth, or is the activation process simply inherreient with the way the devices imei's are registered on CDMA networks, and will always be required. For me going through the activation process for Verizon or Sprint when switching sims would simply preclude any practical usefulness with a dual sim cdma capable phone (although it would still have value as a dual sim with a cdma and a gsm sim).
Sorry for the late reply xtermmin and thanks for the info.

I can't speak for Sprint, as I have Verizon, but I do know that they're more restrictive than Verizon.
On Verizon, the only current restriction is a whitelist when you try to activate a SIM for the first time. You have to use a device that's in Verizon's "activation database", typically Verizon-branded devices, iPhones 6 and up, the Moto X Pure, and (at some point, if not now) the Moto G4 lineup. Once you have an activated SIM, you can stick it into any compatible device (be it from Verizon, another provider's phone, or even an unlocked phone that doesn't officially work on Verizon) and you should be good to go.
For example, I've been using my same Verizon SIM that I got with the HTC Thunderbolt (when it launched in March 2011) in numerous other phones (Verizon phones, US Cellular phones, unlocked phones, even some GSM/LTE-only phones) with no need to contact Verizon or use the website or anything. I've been able to just pop in the SIM, adjust the connection method on the phone if needed, and go.
As for your experience with using a dual-SIM adapter on the Verizon GS5, it might be due to the phone going into "GSM/LTE" mode when you insert a ATT/TMO SIM, but not switching to "CDMA/LTE" mode when you switch to your Verizon SIM (thereby only connecting in LTE mode). Might want to try setting it to Global mode (GSM/CDMA/LTE). The Verizon version probably wasn't tested for dual-SIM use, so it might just be the OS not knowing to switch to the other mode, or it might be an issue with the adapter itself.
Regarding an actual dual-SIM device with both SIMs being CDMA, I'm unsure if it causes any issues, as there's been no phone with that ability released yet (technically, someone can try dual Verizon SIMs in the OP3, but the CDMA implementation on that phone looks to be pretty half-assed, so I wouldn't use it as a baseline). Guess it depends on how the SIM slots are setup (if they share the same IMEI, or if they have different IMEIs for the two slots). If they're the same IMEI, I can see there potentially being issues, but if they're different (which should be the case for any modern name-brand flagship), there shouldn't be.
We'll know more once the Axon 7 releases. Unfortunately, ZTE has said that CDMA support will be coming in a software update later, but at least the phone is physically banded for CDMA, so we won't know for sure until then.
Actually the xt1644 have dual sim slots , one is hidden open the phone and you will find it
Recently I bought a Reliance Jio Sim for my nexus 4. But When I plugged it in, It doesn't register on any network.
Anybody knows how to make it work..
I tried changing Cellphone network in Settings to LTE. (didnt work)
I also tried 2nd method which i saw in one of Unbox Therapy Video.
I.e. dialing *#*#4636#*#* from dialer app
then selecting Phone Information .
Inside that Set Preferred network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
That to didnt work.
Anybody knows any work around.

Which band does 4G network in US work on ..?
Taken from Quora:
Reliance holds the license for 2300 MHz spectrum all over the country plus, 800 MHz spectrum in 10 circles and 1800 MHz spectrum in 6 circles for all kinds of services. 1800 MHz band is one of the most popular bands for deploying LTE services across the world, due to considerable advantages over 2300 MHz band. Around 44% of global 4G networks are deployed over 1800 MHz spectrum.

New 4G band auction is going to happen very soon .. Maybe then we can get 4G from some carrier..
But its not worth it .. As i have read somewhere the antennae is there in phone but not the amplifier... So you'll get very weak signals all the time and it'll drain your battery very fast..

Even though you have Nougat on your phone, the modem is still the old one (because you might be knowing that Google doesn't support this phone since last 2 years i.e. after lollipop).
And as I mentioned earlier in my post, JIO can be used on Nexus 4, see this post on facebook.

Is LTE really working on Nexus 4 in India? If so, on what carriers? If someone would be kind enough to confirm. Its just that, other than one person everyone is saying no. Really like my Nexus 4, don't want to buy a new phone
PS: Haven't bought a 4G sim yet, just waiting for confirmation.
I came to know that it only works in LTE band 4; and this band is not used in India. So LTW WILL NOT WORK in India. Don't know why that guy posted that on facebook (to which I linked on last page)

Nexus 4 doesnt support TD LTE even after flashing hybrid modem. heck it doesnt even support remianing LTE bands. so no go

Thank you.

Yes the H990ds V20 Dual SIM TD-LTE
For anyone At&t, frequencycheck.com says it misses half the LTE bands

That's great but who can actually sell me one. This phone seems to be like rocking horse droppings, talked about but non existent :crying:
I dropped my V10 from one foot last week and something internal has gone making a section of the screen dark. No cracks dents or otherwise - so much for the mil-spec six foot drop test rating....
Desperately need a replacement and the timing seemed prescient until it has become apparent that LG doesn't want to make hay whilst the sun shines over Samsung's nightmare !
If anyone knows where a dual sim lurks, please let me know
Philippines v20 is dual SIM. And if the sales person is right, doesnt share w sdcard like the note 7
Hong Kong and Taiwan version of LG V20 will probably be a dual sim version and both of them will be announced in 20/10, perhaps you can get one in the near future via parallel import.

Did you really have to spam every other post here with this question?
And the answer is no, different hardware, pins, whatever you want to call it.

I can also confirm that the V20 in Philippines is dual sim. LG concept store called me yesterday to inform me that the LG V20 is dual sim (they called because the initial specs says only single sim and wanted to confirm if I still wanted to pre-order). and yes I was also told that the micro sd slot doesn't share the sim2 slot (they say they already have the demo units and they have checked)
In the specs here
http://www.lg.com/ph/mobile-phones/lg-V20-titan
It calls it True Dual SIM which to me is a nudge at those who share with the SD card - in my opinion one of the dumbest things designers ever came up with. Hmm I'll make a Dual sim for the heavy duty users and remove their storage expansion....
So I've been seriously considering this phone. It seems that the Taiwan version (H990DS) is the one to get as it supports more North American bands, unlike the Hong Kong version (H990N). I've been scouring the web trying to find a user manual for either of them, but LG hasn't posted it yet, only the US versions. One of the things I've come across is that it appears as if the 2nd sim slot only supports 3G, not LTE. Does anybody have one of these yet to confirm or deny it? FYI, I'm in Canada, but travel to the US quite a bit where I use the T-Mobile $3/day plan. It sucks having to pop the back off and swap cards every time I cross the border, but if it's true that the 2nd slot only supports 3G, then I might as well get the single sim version.
may i know does anyone have any info regarding the dual sim version configuration ?
which is it below ?
- when one sim on 4G (browsing or VoLTE) the other Sim drops to 2G (both sim switchable with in phone sim management)
or
- when one sim on 4G (browsing or VoLTE) the other Sim drops to 3G (both sim switchable with in phone sim management)
or
- SIM 1 always on/have 4G/3G/2G the SIM 2 always only 2G (non switchable !!)
I have the hong kong version H990N, both sim supports 4G+3G, 3G+3G or 2G simultaneous on either sim 1 or sim 2, if anyone needs the specs of supporting bands on this model, please let me know.

sorry to ask but can you add in the specifics ... what you are saying are when on standby time and that we all know (which clears out my option 3) but what i want to know is the moment you surf on 4G or call (either sim) what does the other sim becomes ?
drops to 3G or 2G ?
this is important to me as 2G will phase out end this year in my country so if this phone will drop to 2G means its useless to me and show no signal.
side note i saw a posting on the Philippines version it stated that the second sim is only on 2G
source ---> http://www.phonemore.com/phone/lg-v20-h990ds-dual/2847
when one sim is in use the other sim is disabled, but since i only have 2 3G sim, the othere sim still stays on 3G but is not usable.
I think only a handful of phones can do 2 sim active, they are all chinese brand.

Hey, could you list the LTE bands? Thinking of importing this version for ATT.
Gsm 850/900/1800/1900
wcdma 850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100
td-scdma 1900/2000
lte b1/b2/b3/b4/b5/b7/b8/b12/b17/b20/b26/b28/b38/b39/b40/b41
It is always the case that one sim can run at 4g while another at 3g, i got 990N
At least there is improvement, it was the mi 5 that was the first phone, if you are talking about a none chinese brand, sony xperia XP the first note 7, then V20.
I got the Taiwan 990ds for 2 days and love it!
It supports 4G+3G (switchable between SIM1 or SIM2), meaning both sims will function in countries with 3G and above only. It also has separate TF card slot unlike the Samsung Note 7/S7 Edge which sacrifices SIM2 when using TF.
Fingerprint sensor is much faster than V10 and battery life is amazing compared to V10 (used for 16 hrs with a few hours of browsing and 2+ hours call, messaging, etc still with 10% battery left.... Forgot to check SOT though).
It is definitely a few notches better than the V10 and the S7 Edge (which I somehow didn't like the grip), and possibly on par with the Note 7 (iris scanner is way way better the finger prints!).
Now, if only we can get root it will be perfect!
