If anyone can find out if the dual sim version is available in Europe that would be great. I can't find it anywhere. I can't find any information that says it won't be.
I searched on all european Sony stores and the only two listing the Z5 Premium Dual are France and Czech Republic

Are there different versions for the Z1 compact for different parts of the world?
If yes does anybody know those regions (e.g. asia, america, western europe, eastern europe) and what are the countries in that region?

Z1 f is a Japan Version. Most spare parts are compatible with Z1 compact.
And the Z1 compact is the Global Version.
All Z1 compact spare parts are the same in all regions.
The difference is the carrier you choice.

Ok, but that's for the hardware.
I come from a HTC one and this phone had different versions, not all of them had the same 4G bands and so on.
The HTC also has versions specific for Sprint and verizon.
Depending on the CID you were able to install some rom versions and other ones not.
I bought my xperia z1c in the Netherlands but if I look at the documentation included it is not from The Netherlands but from one of the countries in Eastern Europe, I still don't know yet which one, I think I have to grab some words of the doc and put them in the translate.google to know which country.
I just want to make sure I will not encounter any problems if I would install a custom rom.
Up to now the phone is not yet in use because I'm waiting for the screenprotector, coming from China, still not arrived (it is a full body protector) and the ones you can order in the USA are too expensive due to the transport costs.
I have searched here and on a couple of other Android forums and can't find any reference to this. I am trying to buy a smartphone for my husband. I have narrowed it down to and S4 Mini model # 9195. I found on eBay someone selling this specific model: GT-I9195ZKAPHE. I found on Amazon someone selling this specific model: GT-I9195ZKADBT
What I'm trying to determine is what does ZKAPHE akd ZKADBT mean. Some of the 9195 LTE frequencies may be "region dependent" (?) and I suspect these letters tell us. But darned if I can find anywhere where they are explained.
I found a UK samsung site that says ZKABTU and another Samsung world site that says ZPABG (Greek, maybe?) and ZKADBT seems to be being sold from Germany.
When I google 9195ZKAPHE, I get sites in Spain.
Anyone deciphered any of these letters? Or have a Samsung link that discusses them? Do they have anything to do with frequencies or 4G support? I am trying to get an unlocked phone that will work well in the US on ATT and in SE Asia on various carriers when I travel.
Thanks in advance...
I have a similar question.
Will cyanogenmod run on GT-I9195ZKADBT ?

Basically add stated in the title, thanks!
China & India definitely do, but Z Play released in these countries have very limited LTE bands.
Motorola Colombia Z Play page says it does.
Motorola Germany Z Play page says it does, but all feedback say it doesn't.
I have one and I live in the Netherlands. Mine is dual sim.
Here in Brasil, Moto Z Play is dual SIM.

Just wondering, Is there any way to purchase Moto Z Play from Brasil and ship it overseas? The Brasil version seems like the only version which supports the widest range of LTE bands and also with dual SIM.
I found it on a few Brazilian online stores but it's very pricey compare to selling price in other countries. I'm in Australia so I convert the selling price to AUD.
Brazil - AUD 886 (2200 Brazilian Real)
India - AUD 493 (24999 Indian Rupee)
Mainland europe - about AUD 663 (450 Euro)
USA - AUD 590 (USD 450)

Export smartphones, is not common in stores here, I'm not sure, but I believe that this is not possible. In Brazil, due to high taxes, smartphones are quite expensive. A year ago there was exemption from such taxes, but unfortunately it ended.

Do you mind telling us where did you get your UK Z Play from? I'll most likely get one from UK if I can get a dual sim version.

I'm sorry. I just received my phone and it's a single sim. It was advertised dual sim on the store where I bought it though.

no, a UK shop, for the "x play method" I have only 1 sim so I don't need a dual sim now
US variant Moto z Play has the pins for a 2nd SIM card. I tore off the cover on the 2nd sim card slot, put in my sim card....and nothing happened. I didnt look too far into it, but it might be possible to get it working. Im not crazy enough to start flashing radios from other variants though.

Hi all
I've used this website for years off and on but always reading, never commenting (so far as I can rememeber) and I thought this would be the best place to ask a question.
I am going to purchase this phone as it's been a long while since I last bought one (still using the Z5 Premium Dual) and I need to upgrade. I bought my current Z5 from a UK website that specialised in importing HK phones (but they are no longer trading). I have to say I think it's the first Sony release where I believe that they have addressed most of the issues of anything released after mine, and seem to have got it more or less right, plus made advancements in it's features (Photo Pro, Cinema Pro, etc).
But having a dual sim phone for all these years, I really want to buy the dual sim variant, the only problem is I cannot find enough concrete information to establish which variant is the model I need to buy and then, where from?
So far I've looked at all the US retailers and it's not plain to see as some advertise it as dual sim when its single sim hybrid. I've spoken to both Sony in th UK and US and advice is limited as they only really know about their own products. (Also, the US version(s) apparently do not support 5G and I'm not sure if that means their 5G, or that it would work when here straight out of the box or would require flashing. I don't want to spend that kind of money trying to see).
The Japanese versions are different still as they have their own model numbers depending on the carriers or retailers (I think from research) so I've looked at the Hong Kong site and the only version that they seem to sell directly is the single sim hybrid version which is the same as Europe.
Can anyone here please provide any further details of which model is the dual sim plus SD card version (if there is in fact one) and a link to where they found out.
The versions I know (from xperiablog.net) are:
- XQ-AT51 (I believe think is the single sim hydrid version)
- XQ-AT52 (I think this may be a dual sim plus SD card model but not sure)
- XQ-AT72 (I think this may be a dual sim plus SD card model but not sure)
- SO-51A (NTT docomo – Japanese carrier)
- SOG01 (au by KDDI – Japanese carrier)
The difference between the 52 and 72 variants may simply be the name for different regions but I'm sure that one is classed as the dual sim global version, which would be the version to go for. It would be grat to know the differences too.
If anyone can help with the any of the above, I would be extreme;y grateful.
There is also the time element as if I can't get the dual sim for any reason, I'll have to go purchase here and then I might as well take advantage of the pre-order offer of the free headphones.
Many thanks.

Confirmed XQ-AT52 is a dual-sim version in Taiwan.
I think most people are importing to the UK from wandamobile:
https://www.wondamobile.com/
They ship from HK so you will get the HK/Taiwan dual sim model (XQ-AT52)
I have listed support 4G and 5G Carrier Aggregation and Dual Connectivity (ENDC) combinations of Global XG-AT51 model: https://cacombos.com/device?model=XQ-AT51
may the XQ-AT72 is the Dual Sim version with 256Gb storage

That's the XQ-AT52. The 128 GB storage versions are the Japanese ones starting SO.
Maybe the XQ-AT72 is the Xperia Pro?

The Hong Kong variants are in short supply. Most SM-G9810's available online are Taiwan variants, even those shipped from Hong Kong retail outlets. I spent a few days trying to find a Hong Kong variant of the S20 Plus for a friend but none of the sellers could confirm their devices had the Hong Kong CSC which is TGY. A number of the retailers said they were Hong Kong variants but when I pressed the inquiry they admitted they offered only Taiwan devices with the BRI CSC. You might try this retailer but be aware they weren't sure which variant they stock.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan are similar, depending on usage you likely wouldn't be able to know the differences. Some users have reported success changing their CSC from BRI to TGY via Samkey. I'm not a fan of changing the device's CSC, sometimes it causes other problems. A device's firmware is calibrated for it's specific CSC. You can review the thread here.
SM-G9880 BRI (taiwan) vs TGY (HK) differences? Thinking about changing CSC
I have a SM-G9880 BRI (taiwan) version and using in Australia. I have all the 3G/4G options but I'm unable to select any 5G - even though the phone is a 5G phone. I know my carrier does not use 5G in my area at this time, so is it not showing...

I personally prefer the Hong Kong variants since I've owned 4 of these and never had any issues. They work great on T-mobile's 4G LTE, Wifi Calling and VoLTE. As yet the Hong Kong variants won't work on 5G or allow Carrier Aggregation on my network. These aren't features I need but your service may vary depending on the service provider. If full call feature functionality is a top priority then your service provider's device is your best bet.
You can contact a retailer and ask point blank what's the CSC on the device they offer but in most cases you probably won't get a straight answer. Also keep in mind the Galaxy S21 is scheduled to be released January 14th with a much improved Exynos SoC. Good luck!
