Normal or Micro-SIM?

I've read in different places conflicting specs about ONE X SIM card. Which one is true? does it come with normal SIM or micro?

It needs a Micro-SIM

Mine has a Micro Sim as well.

Mine microsim. But no problem, normal sim can cut

FYI: Normal sim card is the size of a credit card, mini sim is what you'll are referring to.
And the HTC One X uses a Micro sim.

We know that it isn't a "micro" sim,but that is how it's called by the companies.

Ok then, is it like the one I have in my HTC Desire HD or like the one my son has in his iPhone? (that way we can't get it wrong)

Mini sim on the left (bigger), micro sim on the right (smaller).

clear enough guys, thanks

[Q] Sim card slot problem

Hello,
My signal with three UK kept dropping yesterday so i thought i would try a vodafone sim card i have in my HTC one X. I inserted the htc clip to open the sim card slot but it would not open, then i noticed that my three sim card in the phone is not being read anymore.
I'm stuck with a htc one x that i cannot phone with and cannot replace the sim. I'm not sure what to do, has anyone had any problems with the sim card tray not opening?

[q] xperia m sim issue

Hi
I recently purchased a Xperia M Dual Sim model. Unfortunately I did not know that it was a micro SIM. Now I already have a Nokia Lumia 520 with Micro SIM. The one in Lumia was cut locally by mobile salesaman. The dimensions of the micro SIM was not exactly as per specifications with it looking more like a Nano SIM with all the plastic edges trimmed out. Now this one works fine in LUMIA but as I insert them in Xperia M , it gives error NO SIM.I have carefully seen that the 6 connector points in SIM matches with the 6 quadrants in the SIM but no avail and tried multiple times in both the SIM slots of this dual SIM model. When I look carefully I see that the SIM slots in xperia may have a switch mechanism in the bottom of their SIM slot which detects SIMs which are not cut properly or are not of the perfect dimensions. Is it true for any of the guys over here. Pls help cos otherwise Id have to thing that there is a defect in the SIM Slot.I have checked in both the slots and they are the same.
Thanks

Well, first try with a micro sim. They are not expensive and you don't need to change your number or something.
You can't be sure if you only try with hand-cutten not matching sims.
Try with a new one first and then you can see if you really have a problem.

dual sim compatibility

Hello all. I have recently purchased a Moto Z Play US version. I noticed in the sim slot there are pins for the 2nd sim. But the tray itself has a cover over the 2nd sim tray. I was wondering if I buy the dual sim tray do you guys think that it will work?
Thanks

It will not work, it needs software support.

Maybe if he flashes a european firmware too? Dunno...

Dual sim tray in single sim model?

I'm going to be traveling internationally in a few months, and more than likely going to end up on a local SIM where I'm going for while I'm there.
On the single SIM tray there appears to just be a spacer molded into the tray where a second sim would go in the dual sim version. I'm thinking about ordering a dual SIM tray from China on eBay (10 bucks) so I can use the second sim slot in the tray as storage for my not in use sim.
Anyone know of any reason this shouldn't work? I can't think of any reason it shouldn't...

You'll have to flash a dual sim firmware package but there's issues with flashing firmware that's not what originally was installed on your moto z play.
You could ultimately loose your IMEI , Which would render your phone useless.
It's just easier to sim unlock and insert a single sim.

I'm already sim unlocked (have the US unlocked version courtesy of republic). My intention is to only use whichever sim is in slot 1. I'll manually pull the tray and switch sim positions when I need to switch. I just want the second slot as dead storage space for the unused sim card. Just wondering if there's something physical in the guts of the single SIM version that could be damaged by or cause damage to the unused sim in slot 2 of the tray. Or if there's something physically different about the dual SIM tray that will not allow it to fit in the single SIM version of the device.
Definitely no flashing of dual SIM firmware happening on this device.

You should be fine. Just make sure that the active sim goes in the same slot as where it would go in the single-sim tray and the inactive sim go in the spare slot. It's a good way to not lose a sim card. I was thinking of doing this for my single-sim, carrier variant Moto x play, but never bothererd.

Thanks. Avoiding losing a sim while on my trip is my primary reason for doing this. Guess I'll give it a shot!

Update:
Received dual Sim tray from China today (13 days order to door, $10 shipped on eBay)
Visually compared both, they seem basically identical, with the exception of some type of serial number sticker on the original single Sim tray.
Fit isn't quite perfect - the angle of the outer piece of the tray isn't quite right, so it's a tiny bit recessed into the edge of the phone on one end, and slightly raised on the other end. Enough to be visually noticed if you're looking for it, and can be felt running a finger nail over the seam between the edge of the phone and the Sim tray. Don't believe it's enough to present any "catch" issues if running naked, and a total non issue if using a case or bumper.
No apparent functional issues - device connects fine using Sim 1 slot in tray. Did not feel any unusual resistance when inserting tray with both Sims aboard. Obviously doesn't see the Sim in slot 2.
Nice to be able to carry both my Sims with me, worry free. Worth the money for my use case.
