Hello All
I have a SM-G800H single sim, but there is a cover over the second sim slot in the battery compartment. It looks like the hardware for the SS and DS is the same, except for the cover plate.
Does anyone have any advice about removing this and activating the second SIM?
Obviously the current ROM only supports one SIM, so I'll be experimenting with DS Roms too.

wow, i've the single-sim too, i'm gonna take a look at it..
Any update?
Did anyone figure out if this is possible? Kinda bummed - I didn't read anywhere about a G800H coming in both single and dual SIM varieties. But I apparently have the single SIM one as well and that's not what I wanted.

whats the difference between the single sim and dual sim models?
do they receive the updates on the same day?
are there any potential custom rom issues with going for the dual sim?
I went with the dual sim as I really need that convenience.
When it comes to development, I'm sure it will be the same update schedule. Plus I see no reason why having a dual sim would hinder custom ROM support.
What's the reason that Samsung brings out 2 versions? Is it just a different SIM holder or are there more differences? I normally use 1 SIM. But might get another private one. And thus I also wonder if it will be needing different software when I decide to root it.
I have contacted Samsung. Their answer was that there is no hardware or ROM difference.
If this is correct. I expect double SIM bays to be sold soon by other suppliers.
Ordered the double SIM now. And will do the double SIM mod. As it only allows 2 SIM or 1 SIM + SD.
Since the second SIM slot can be used for microSD card, I don't understand why would anybody want the single SIM model... especially that it looks like the dual-SIM one is cheaper?! Here's an example of both models on the same site:
https://www.techmania.ch/Product/Detail/23991212?parnr=12833993 ==> single SIM = 1075 CHF
https://www.techmania.ch/Product/Detail/23309783?parnr=12833993 ==> dual SIM = 999 CHF
the problem that the brand version is single sim
DS have DUOS on the back I hate that part, but overall better for reselling and usage if you end up needing second SIM slot. I might move from 2 phones to 1 phone soon
The ROM is not entirely identical. In comparing the two I found that the dual SIM model has several libraries that are not present on the single SIM models, in addition to the obvious settings differences to let the phone know how many SIM cards to look for.
Dual SIM model here. But nothing mentioned on the rear.
I can think of at least two reasons they'd release a single SIM version:
1. Most network operators don't like users to have a second SIM from a different operator - it's easier for the user to switch operators
2. Companies have many reasons not to give their employees dual SIM phones. Also, they migh not agree with SD cards in their phones.
Just curious.
I wonder what Samsung does with the "extra" storage space that the second SIM would have occupied for a single SIM phone?
It can't be all about the SD card slot
Question: I've read that the dual sim is the "international" version, while the single sim is the official UK version, and that some manufacturers refuse to honour warranty claims for international versions of their phones that are often grey far east imports. Does this affect Samsung dual sim phones?
Hello,
I am willing to get the new Xperia 1 II. I am living abroad, and for many reasons, I kept my native country's sim to keep my line open. Currently, I own two phones to have both lines up. But this new Xperia seams to be released with a variant getting dual sim feature which is what I am looking for so I could replace my LG V20 and LG G8 for this amazing phone.
I read online that this phone comes with different variants:
XQ-AT51
XQ-AT52
XQ-AT72
SO-51A (NTT DoCoMo)
SOG01 (AU/Okinawa Cellular)
On this website https://www.xperiablog.net/2020/04/...eria-model-number-structure-for-2020-devices/ they tend to say that this XQ-AT52 model would be the dual sim variant, but I cannot find any online resources to confirm this.
Is there anybody who knows yet what is the dual sim variant so I don't get wrong while ordering?
(I really hope it's not only the korean version to get this dual sim variant...)
Thanks!
Hello,
I come back to you guys to have some updates about this topic since now they released the phone and preorders are available, maybe someone has some details about this feature.
I really want to know if the variant sold in Europe is supporting 2 sim.
On GSMArena, they list the phone as Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) but on sony.de, sony.fr, sony.it they list it as SIM NUMBER
Single SIM.
On B&H bhphotovideo, the phone is proposed as Sony Xperia 1 II Dual-SIM 256GB Smartphone (Unlocked).
Why would they sell a dual sim capable in America and a single sim in Europe?

The model selling in Taiwan is XQ-AT52 with dual sim ( 5G/4G compatible ).
If you put 2 sims, it runs in 4G mode, 5G is only working when only one sim card inserted.
5G I only works with 1 SIM card inserted? That's not very good design.
Also, can you please try to switch between SIM card for data, does it require a reboot to active? I used to own Sony phones and they all require reboot when switching between SIMs, which is very inconvenience.
I use other brand dual SIM phone now and they don't require reboot when switching between SIM.

Do you know if the only difference between the single sim and duel sim variations are the sim tray provided with the phone and the software installed. I am wondering if I got a single sim version, if I could flash the international firmware and replace the tray with a dual sim version

Normally it should work as previously it was like that.
but the SIM holder looks different to Xperia 1 dual Version
You don't need to reboot to change or swap sim, that's what i heard and that's why you don't need a pin to open the tray.. you just need to pull it.
I guess the tray for single sim is different but software is different too.. means software can handle dual sim..
I know some people with Samsung single sim model, they put 1 sim in tray and stick the second sim on the microsd. It becomes a dual sim with micro sd.
But you have to be very good to unstick the sim from original card and stick on the microsd without damaging your sim
HI all
has anyone found a way to keep both the Sims running even when the 1st has 5G on.. Like let the 2nd sim run at 4G or 3G atleast.. but why does the 2nd sim has to be off or go off when the first one runs at 5G.
I keep wanting to use 5G at all times on my first sim.. but why should my 2nd SIM stay off. this is mind boggling why would SONY implement this on a Premium Flagship while others Like Xiaomi and others have better sim management options even when 5G
this is the only thing stopping me from getting this phone although i love it.
on a separate note.
Also someone has any idea if the Special Frosted edition of this phone releasing in Japan with 12GB RAM will be dual or single sim ?
Can anyone help I have bought an s21 ultra off very and it's rhe above model but only has a single sided sim? In the mobile phone part it shows sim one and two and e sim
It's definately a UK model - as it shows on the box
I wanted a dual sim and that's why I bought it is it an error in manufacturing or is it something new?
I am sure very buys from UK sources so I dont know what on earth is the issue
Any ideas or what I can do? Do I find a Samsung experience store and take it there?
Thanks
The simcard tray supports two sims on your model, a SIM on each side.
The SIM contacts should face you.

Well that's rhe issue the rear of the sim tray isn't the same as rhe other side.... It is not a sim holder
It's a genuine handset with genuine serial as I can register the warranty with Samsung UK
It's also UK model from the box
So I've no idea what's gone wrong I've ordered a new sim tray. Which should work and escalated it to very as to what the issue is
Huh, interesting.
The trays I'm used to seeing do not look like that - this is what it should look like:
Single SIM model trays don't look like yours either.
Odd!
Check the Knox status in Download mode for peace of mind.
Perhaps this is a refurb with a third party tray(?)
Also, dial: ##786# click "View" and see what it outputs for "Reconditioned".

The phone shows official in the Information about the phone and the code ##786# Doesn't seem to want to work
I've checked via phone info app and it shows original not refurbished so I'm now even more confused
Mine is a direct from Samsung UK 998B/DS with the above dual sim card holder.
Looks like you somehow got the tray for the US version, or you have a US variant with mis-matched firmware if that's even possible. Might try and find a dual sim, or just use eSim on your primary.
Pictures below from my US snapdragon variant.

Thank you so much for solving this for me

any solution please
buy a dual sim phone. ne2215 is single sim only
Per my understanding, NE2215 is the same HW and should have dual sim. The only difference is the SIM card tray.
Does anyone have the dual sim card tray and can try it out on the NE2215 ?
It would be difficult to find two people with different (regional) versions of same phone in same geographic area
You can try getting one from Aliexpress and try that yourself.
Not fully sure the 2215 comes with dual modem to be honest.
Do you actually see two IMEIs on the About>Status page?

Agree, been trying to find just that actually and could not yet find a sim card tray that fits OnePlus10 Pro for sale.
Even with single IMEI, there are some old phones with single IMEI that work for MultiSIM. Agree, it is better to have dual IMEIs on the phone. But, i think it is worth trying if we can find a dual sim card tray to try on NEE2215.
No IMEI no party

no you don't. You likely have a NE2210 with NE2215 installed. NE2215 doesn't physically have the contacts for a second sim

that doesn't mean anything. the model number on that page can be changed. go look at your box
You got the same version like me. NE2210 with flashed NE2215 Rom to it. But I have a dual sim tray and can also use both sim slots
I have NE2215. Got a dual sim tray from aliexress and installed indian ROM (NE2211). Still it does not show the second sim in settings. although if I look inside the sim slot, i see golden contacts on both sides. any thoughts?
EDit: I have managed to get dual sim support but need to fix the second sim IMEI. Which is currently null. thats why sim not working yet.
I rooted, then used magisk module to edit the build.prop for enabling dual sim (dsds).

today i gave up. i have done following:
converted to Indian ROM = 2211
rooted.
enabled dual sim support.
inserted dual sim tray.
added second imei for second sim. (No error but nothing happens. Imei remains null).
Result: Second sim is never detected. Although phone has the electronics inside for second sim.
So I have a 1+7 pro dual SIM that had a bad incident with a concrete stair...
Bought one new old stock from China that was a single SIM.... Used my old SIM holder and voila, now it's dual SIM.
Phone was single SIM, now my network is in SIM 2... Just an FYI if this was not already known.
If someone wants an actual video I can do that. Still using SIM 2... I'll add a screenshot.
