i am at the point of purchasing the dual sim htc one, but am not sure how to identify the uk version from the pack without oepning it. i had bought a supposed dual sim which turned out to be china and did not serve my purpose. now we have a supposed uk dual sim in my region, i am tempted to pick it up but the dealer does not have an open one on display. are there specific information on the packaging that can lead me in the right direction. i see all the information on the back is written in english but it does'nt say anything.

No, on the box there is no specific information regarding the region. If your extremely particular about getting the UK version, then you should buy it from the official HTC store. It costs 500 pounds

I'm currently in China, and I have ordered my One. My Chinese level isn't so good, so I am unsure if the phone I am getting is the international version or the Chinese version. Looking on the HTC China website, it is advertising the model with the removable back cover. Anyone with greater knowledge on these matters than me know if these phones will be compatible for the Roms/kernels that will be made for the international version?
As far as I know, the only difference is the inclusion of dual sim cards and the micro sim.

It's hard to say because of the limited information still available on the Chinese variants. Typically the China Unicom version is closest to the international version and with other devices, international Roms work. China mobile will definitely not work because they use TD-CDMA which is unique to China mobile only. China telecom should also be similar to China unicom version.
I am buying straight from HTC, but they are advertising the removable back cover on their website... So I am unsure if that means they won't be selling the international version in their retail stores.

the HTC china version is different from international, it has 3 version TDCDMA, WCDMA, and CDMA2000. the WCDMA varience support two sim card (one WCDMA micro sim one GSM normal sim), pls micro sd card.
i'm also in China and actually interesting in this model as well, but there will probably be very little XDA support(custom rom) , so i may end up getting the international version.
also note that the WCDMA only support 900/2100MHz band.
I'm just about to make the same decisions.
Now that I've ruled out the Xperia Z and am getting ready to buy the HTC One, I'm surely interested in the benefits of having an SD-slot as well as Dual Sim support, but worry that I might not get to participate on the customs rom frenzy, even if it is just to get rid of all the pre-installed Unicom crap.
Has anybody had the chance to try it out yet?
Hi Folks,
I have a feeling I have been done over
I bought what I thought was a HTC One 802w DUAL sim phone on Aliexpress... I received the phone today and to my surprise it looks like a "normal" single HTC One, which I certainly wouldn't have needed to go to China for. I could buy one locally.
I say "looks like" rather than "is", because I have a growing feeling that the phone is actually a fake / clone. As far as I know there isn't / wasn't a single sim varient ever released in China - can someone please confirm this? It's got Chinese bloatware on the phone so it's for the Chinese market...
Also I just came across a webpage that I can't post the link to because I don't have 10 posts yet... If you Google "htc one china single sim card" and click on the first link (ksrplayer.com)
It looks VERY similar, in fact it looks IDENTICAL to what I received.
Thanks,
Mike
Looking on the back of the phone it shows it as an "801n / PN07100" - was this version ever relased in China?
As far I can see it wasn't. Apart from being I got delivered the wrong phone, I want to establish if I've been sent a fake / clone... I still think I have.
Thanks
is not a fake, is only single sim 3g version, maybe you can put some pictures
I'm a bit confused with that. Wondering how many have purchased from best buy?

As far as I know the dual sim is not available at all at best buy.
Even on the Motorola US page you cannot order the dual sim. The first one I ordered from Motorola directly in the US had just one sim slot, so I sent it back.
The one I ordered in Germany has the dual sim. Funny is that both models were shipped from the same location in China
The dual sim model is not avaiable in US.
Hi,
Does anyone know whether the Nokia 8 john Lewis sells supports dual sim, or know anywhere else that sells a dual sim supporting model in the UK?
Thanks
For anyone else looking for a UK Dual Sim model, they're almost impossible to find. The BT Shop lists them at £521 (yes £220 more than most places currently list the single sim ) but I couldn't find them elsewhere. Plenty of grey imports on Amazon, and ebay has the usual sellers importing the Asian market version from China but trying to pretend they're based elsewhere, with the usual warranty risks. I went with purchasing an EU model from Clove - they're slightly dearer than the UK single sim versions, but not too bad. I'm guessing pressure from UK network providers is why we largely get single sim versions. Probably not a big issue for folks who live and work in one place, but I've yet to find a network provider who offers consistently good data coverage across Kent.
I looked at the 7 plus as an alternative (surprisingly hard to choose between the two) but I think the Nokia 8 still has the edge and Dual Sim versions of the 7 Plus aren't any easier to find in the UK.
Needing a dual SIM phone for one of my clients. He is coming from an 8T. He bought an Unlocked 10 Pro from the US OnePlus website only to realize it is single sim. A quick search shows the international version has dual sim support Checking on Amazon I see both an international version and a Chinese version? The Chinese version also sells for about $200 less. I searched and could find very little about each phone working in the US. Are both these phones International and Chinese the same phone? Both dual SIM? Both have the same bands? If I purchase the Chinese version will I need to flash with a global or US rom?
Any drawbacks to having either phone in the US?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and have the NE2213 which is essentially the global version.
Personal I'd avoid the Chinese version but that's me
You can change region but I'd rather pay the money and get the real deal.
Warranty is going to he an issue, unless you're buying it from Amazon.
As far I've read the EU / NE2213 should work as expected for what you want.
Have a google for what signal bands are required for the sins you're going to be using , it should still work but best to verify
me too bought USA version and later found that its single sim 2215. I converted to 2211 and enable dual sim support, added second imei, inserted dual sim tray as well but no matter what second imei is always null and second sim never detected.
