Question I'm getting mixed information... about dual SIM. - OnePlus 9 Pro

Few threads indicated that there is no dual SIM support, but then I saw a post where (unless it was April's fools day) someone said sim cards go back to back instead of side by side and it is a dual sim phone. Since I travel often to Europe, I need dual SIM feature. Could someone definitely answer this question, please? I bought mine directly from OnePlus U.S. website and it is already back in the box because of this issue, waiting for a RMA label to arrive and I don't want to open it again. I did not see second IMEI number is settings, but maybe it is hidden somewhere and can be activated by a factory code?

European version is dual sim: https://www.oneplus.com/uk/9-pro/specs but US version is not: https://www.oneplus.com/9-pro/specs

Thanks, but that totally sucks. Completely illogical move IMO.

I bought my phone from oneplus from France.
My build is Oxygen OS 2.2.2. LE15BA (BA is European version I think).
You can put 2 sims in the tray back to back, and I'm currently using it with 2 sims.
Here are some screenshots, and a picture from the back of the phone box where you can see there are 2 IMEI i.e. 2 sims.

for those who are interested, i have a dual-sim Chinese version new stellar black op 9 pro selling on swappa.
I am in US west coast.

Not sure,
Dash 1 is boot locked, Verizon
All others are unlockable, not sure but mostly at least.
The 02 is the dual sim version. 03 not sure, I think it is a China version.

-02 is also sold as single SIM. My US unlocked single SIM is XT1635-02.
Visually it appears there may be contacts for a Sim in slot 2, so it may only be a firmware difference between single and dual Sim -02s. Haven't hunted around fit a teardown video (if there is one) to try to find out. I'd actually benefit from a dual Sim at the moment, but not convinced it's worth the risk of flashing a dual Sim firmware on a single Sim model to try to find out.

What does it say under "About phone" - "Hardware information" last line "Dual SIM"? True or false?

That line doesn't exist in my "hardware information" menu. NFC is last line.
Here is mine. I'm guessing you don't have dual sim capacity? Hmm...always thought 02 stands for dual sim

Ok, but how do we differentiate between single SIM vs dual SIM, 32GB vs 64GB? Is there any special naming for this?

hi there
I've got two versions. XT1635-02 it is UK dual sim version in my case... ( I was very surprised it is dual sim when it came, I bought it on Motorola UK website..) and I've got XT1635-03 which I bought on aliexpress. It is Chinese dual sim version with 64GB . The latter came with unlocked bootloader for some reason ( box was factory sealed or at least looked like..) and I cannot use Android pay... , however very happy with both.

Hey i have the chinese dual sim 64 gb version and i have the exact same problem. I haven't received any OTAs, and Moto support tells me my phone has been rooted before! I bought it brand new, and the box was sealed!
Have you received any OTA on your Chinese one?

Are all Mate 20 X Dual Sim?

I know EVR-L29 represents the dual sim model But are there any single sim models?
Reason I ask is, a shop here in the UK is selling one but don’t say if it’s dual sim or not.
Google struggle to finds any mention of a single sim model.
GSMArena shows a global model and and China model.
Thanks.

Dual SIM with Australian version?

I'm considering getting a fold but I need dual sim capability. Physical sim cards, not esim. I can't find any definitive information about it. Does anyone know?
Thanks.
I don't think there's a dual SIM variant, it's just 1 physical SIM and in some countries an esim

Thanks.. that's a pity. I just looked at the UAE website and the Indian website. UAE is Esim too, and the Indian version doesn't even have that unfortunately. Hopefully my provider supports esim soon.

Xperia 1ii Variants and Regions

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?

Dual Sim

I recently bought a moto g 5g and everything that I read said it was a dual sim phone.To my surprise when the phone arrived it was only single sim.Can I buy a dual sim sim tray and dual sim will work?

If the device only displays 1 IMEI, then is cannot support Dual SIMs, do you have the exact model number?

Thanks for the information. Moto support reached out to me and told me I have an Australian model (XT2075-3). It's crazy because everything I read about the phone online did not mention anything about single sim model. Before I bout it I even googled the model number and found nothing.
That's sad :\

That sucks, i got mine from jb hifi and its definitely dual sim. Id be blaming telstra/optus for the single sim thing, no doubt they have more than a little say in it.... Cant have you using one of the other carriers cards in there now
