ZE551ML and ZD551KL (Selfie), how do they compare in processor speed?

Hi,
I see we can get the ZE551ML with two Intel variants : Z3560 1.8GHz and Z3580 2.3GHz. I think the cheapest version would have plenty of power for my usage (no games or very simple ones like 2048 ...), I merely like to browse the web when I'm outside (other than use the phone to phone !).
But the ZD551KL gets a Qualcom S615 with 8 cores and slower speed. Does anyone know how it compares to the former?
And about SIM cards, do both of these phones allow to "listen" for incoming calls on both SIMs at the same time? My goal would be to put personal and professionnal phone lines, and I just NEED to get incoming calls from both lines, not enable one at a time ... (don't understand the principle of standby dual sim)
Thanks

If you intend to use both sims, do not get the ZE551ML, Asus used subpar hardware on sim2 and is only capable of 2G with data blocked. 2G is being phased out and is already being shut down. In about a years time you will be left with a single sim phone. It's not only about speed but what hardware they are using. You can have the best processor in the world however if it is connected to subpar and outdated hardware it means nothing.
Also Asus never updated their OS at all, just their firmware. Which is nice they push out updates, but I'm finding their constant updates are to fix the problems they created with the last update.
Find another phone, there are plenty of companies out there offering dual sim with up to date hardware in the same price range.

Hi, thanks for your answer, could you point me some samples ? I did a lot of research but couldn't find anything else featuring a Full HD 5,5" screen with 4Gb of RAM with a decent camera and dual sim for EUR 249 ...

Help, Root Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL???

I don't think it's the right place to ask this ...

Just do searches and go through everything. Amazon, Aliexpress. Being in France you're open to a wide range of phones because of your bands over the United States. If you just search Dual Sim 4G LTE 64gb or even 32GB you will see tons come up. You don't really need 64GB as long as you can put a data card in the phone, a 32GB will work just fine as I move apps over to the card to free up space anyway. The Allview X2 looks great, I wish it had our US bands on it.

The allview X2 soul has no NFC, no LTE, only 2Gb RAM, only 5" display, only one SIM, so definitely not suitable. The X2 xtreme is bigger with its 6" display and has plenty of options, but prices almost twice the cost of the ZE551ML I can find locally ...

That is the wrong model. Allview has different models and the one I'm talking about is the X2 Xtreme which does have LTE,NFC and has a 6inch display. Here the price is about same as the zenphone. Since we are in different areas, our prices are going to be different. You need to do a search and you'll find the different models out there.

First of all, to make it clear, the phone you are looking for has to have two modems (this is what makes phone "dual sim active" or "dual sim full active" one), and unfortunatelly Zenfone Selfie doesn't meet that requirement.
On the other hand, it's a fact that ZE551ML does not support data transfer on second SIM slot (which is a bit awkward since Intel XMM 2230 - the second modem, does support EDGE).
In fact there are very little number of models with DSFA and 4G on both SIMs. For now I can think of Lenovo Vibe X2-CU as the affordable one, and maybe Huawei Mate 7 and P8 (but, with those you have to chose whether to use second SIM or SD card).

Dual Sim - Any owners that can reply

I have finally ordered Dual Sim Z2 Play from Amazon and i have received it today. I opened the Sim Tray, and i am bit confused as it seem it's not the dual version. Can you please check the following pictures? If an owner of the dual sim z2 play can see this thread and verify me about this. How to host the 2 sim cards? As i see a plastic black and then the area for one sim card. Amazon replied me that i have bought a dual sim phone, but till now seems not.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

You bought the mono sim version. The dual sim in the sim side have two slot.
For example:

I tried to move a bit the plastic that exist on the sim 2 slot, and it removed, so now the tray is the same as the picture u posted. Though when i put the tray back, only one is recognized. I emailed again Amazon and their response is:
"
This is Prince from Amazon.it Customer Service, and It's a pleasure to assist you again.
Upon your request, I've double checked the "Motorola Moto Z2 Play Smartphone da 5,5 pollici FHD AMOLED, 4GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, Snapdragon 626 Octa-core 2,2 GHz, 12 MP Camera, 4G LTE, Android 7.1.1, Grigio Lunare" purchased in your order 408-4458000-8550715.
I found in the description that The phone is dual SIM with the ability to add the microSD (SIM1 + SIM2 + microSD at the same time).
So if you want to know more of the installing SIM cards way, Kindly follow the instructions of the manual book attached with the phone."
I bit confused of what is the problem

Are you italian? I'm also. Are you sure that you have bought the reteu and not the Tim version, that is branded and mono sim? The two version are both avaible in Amazon It, the Tim version with a lower price.
Send a screenshot of system info, to check in is reteu or a branded version. Above mine, where you can read "reteu".
However the sim tray in the two version is the same, with a cup to cover the second sim slot in mono sim, like yours. Obviously in the mono sim the second doesn't work even if you use the dual sim tray or, as you do, remove the cup.

Nope, just found the deal on amazon it wharehouse deals. I suspect its the tim version, as when i am trying to boot it, i see the TIM logo. I am just shocked a bit, that Amazon itself doesnt know what phone they sell

I will return the phone back then, its sure i can't enable it without going to other measures, like root, unlock the bootloader, etc right?

In the calale software, it says timit

In the moto z play i read in the past that is possible enable dual sim in mono version. On the z2 i suppose also but i don't know how. In any case the branded version have also other problem, expecially with Tim that is famous for their weird support of updates in their branded phones.
I suggest to you to return the phone and buy the right version.
If sw Channel is timit is the Tim Italy version

Return the device and if possible get some other device in this range. This phone is expensive with mediocre hardware.

For me this is perfect phone, amoled screen, 2sims + SD at the same time and most important - 3.5 jack! and I bought Moto turbo power first day, so 6500 mAh battery.
Point me to some other device that has it all with better CPU and stock android. Good luck

These were the same points i thought, but i could live without a memory card, so i would have gone for Oneplus 5 that time. It was not much difference moneywise but sepcs wise its better.

I was thinking about OnePlus as well. But the CPU in z2 play is not bad at all, handles all tasks smooth and it is not power hungry. Never had any unwanted reboot nor lags.
Anyway, I had some good phones lately because of my work, iPhone 7, X, android 6p, 5x, pixel xl. This is clear winner for me among them, may not be top CPU performer, nor the nicest (X was very impressive with its screen, but gestures and no fingerprint sensor ruined it for me), but build quality is comparable, and battery life with turbo mod is outstanding, bulky a bit but I favour it over thinnes of the other devices and no headphone jack, no sd slot, no dual sim.

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?

Question possibility of flashing BA(EU) rom into a LE15AA oneplus 9 pro

My phone is going to be delivered this weekend. However, it is NA version with single sim. Has anyone own a oneplus 8 pro to 8t NA before has the experience to flash to EU rom to have the dual sim functionality unlock before the official rom from NA?

You can definitely do that, but the physical SIM card tray actually has a piece of plastic preventing you from using it as a dual SIM tray on the AA variants.
So you will either need a new dual SIM tray, or modify it yourself to be compatible..

I know that. I don't need to use it now but in the future when I am travelling. I need to do business traveling a lot between different countries.

I have 9 pro 2120 models. Can I change 2123 with upload eu rom ?

Question I'm getting mixed information... about dual SIM.

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.
