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.

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?
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

Hello good day all.
It’s been while between reading and watching reviews, and I’m trying to find out which note 8 model will fulfill my needs before I purchase.
My main aim on:
1-Snapdragon.
2- Unlocked.
3- Single SIM.
4- 128GB “I can change to 64 if there is no option”.
5- In long term of use will have developer support such as custom ROM …etc.
What I found out so far SM-N9500 & SM-N950U1.
*SM-N9500 : is snapdragon and unlocked but dual SIM which I’m not fan of.
*SM-N950U1 : is snapdragon , and from what I read and understand it's unlocked but “not sure if it will work outside US”.
If there is any opinion or other models please inform me, I want to decide because I’m using the device for long period of time and I have to make sure.
Get the version intended for your home country and from an OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED DEALER, if you plan to use it for a very long time, that is my sincere advice for you

Actually my home country with exynos processors and I wanna stay away form it , yes it is "good" processors but i have good experience with snapdragon with my current note 3.
Up
Need answer please
Sm-n950u has been good to me. But I have no out of network experience with it. Mine is carrier locked, which is better for carrier specific needs such as LTE calling.
Since you mentioned Unlocked & Custom ROMs, keep in mind that Unlocked means SIM unlocked, not bootloader unlocked. USA N950U unlocked variants are only SIM unlocked, the BL is locked.
The only Snapdragon that would most likely have an unlockable BL is the Chinese & HK N9500.
No need to worry about the phone being dual SIM. I actually was a bit disappointed when my Note 8 shipped as a dual SIM, but am way over it now. If you do not insert a second SIM and simply use it as a single SIM phone you don't have any issues nor any icons in the notification bar. The only difference is that in the call log you will see all calls were made/received on SIM 1 and that you will have the SIM Manager option in Settings. Other than that no signal issues (like I experienced on the dual SIM note 7 last year) ar of any other kind, I am quite happy with my SM-N950F.
Where are you going to be using the phone? What network are you with?
Hi guys,
I need your help in something, im searching to buy the Nokia 8 Dual SIM variant, unfortunately here in Cyprus where i live the haven't brought the phone yet so i'm looking to order it online.
But the think is that from Ebay or some other website that i looked they sell the TA-1052 variant which is for China/Taiwan market. Or mostly they sell the Single SIM variant.
Do you know where i can find the TA-1004 Dual SIM version ?
Thanks !
Nokia official shop. I just bought one

In most of the EU countries dual sim is available from Nokia directly or major resellers. Just order it online.
Unfortunately in Cyprus there is no Nokia official shop here and the reseller is going to bring only the Single SIM version.
In Greece which i'm also searching most of them they have the Single SIM version, some others that the list a Dual SIM version they mention the TA-1052 variant which is meant for the Chinese market
If you can suggest a website it would be great because so far only the Single SIM i'm finding...
Edit: And also if if i find a Dual SIM model they only have it in Steel color and not in Tempered Blue which i'm looking for.
I can not specify a known and valid online shop in EU which would send abroad. Amazon maybe?
I bought mine in PL, but dual sim tempered blue is easy available in other EU countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc.
Dunno if it helps you but I got my dual sim tempered blue nokia 8 from amazon india website. I am from India and the model i am holding( in fact typing this message) is a "Made in India" Nokia 8 model.
Just for your info.
They are for sale on amazon.es (Spain) not sure if they ship to Cyprus though.
Finally i found it through ebay (Germany) and bought at lower price than Cyprus and already received it...
Thanks for your help and suggestions !
Just got my S21 Ultra from Amazon Germany. (I have to have dual SIM and HK version does not work in one of the countries I visit regularly). It does not have the usual sticker about having to make a 5 minute call with a European SIM to unlock it. Has Samsung abandoned the region-locking? I had not heard that anywhere.
I can only confirm that the HK version 9910 is dual SIM enabled and both work perfectly, if this helps you.
