Question esim support - Sony Xperia 1 III

I would like to know if the build in esim support on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 can be used on the Xperia 1 iii. Does anyone have information on that?

I have heard it doesn't support eSIM, but I could be wrong.

The 888 does support it though:
Qualcomm reveals its new Integrated SIM technology
Qualcomm is introducing its new type of SIM Card called the Integrated eUICC (Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card) or iSIM.
mobilesyrup.com
Qualcomm calls it iSIM (integrated SIM).
Lets hope Sony will support it in Android.

Weird it's always been call eSIM as far as I can remember. Even now on my Samsung it's called eSIM.

Received my 1 m3 yesterday. I haven't found the option to add eSIM/iSIM. Lets hope it'll be supported in the future. I'd like to use dualsim and the SD-Card slot.

esim has not been built on this phone.

LG V10 - Dual sim versions?

How many dual sim versions of the V10 are there? H921N, H962?
All the dual sim versions have 2 sim slots and a 3rd slot for a SD card correct?
Also does the V10 dual sim version have a IR blaster built in?
I googled for information and photos but all I could find was info on the USA single sim model.
H921N owner here, yes, it has the two sim slots and the sd card one. And yes, mine has an IR blaster.
H962: 2 sim and 1 sd card slots, check. Ir blaster, check
Thank you for the replies. Anyone know which one of the dual sim model works in Colombia SA?
Here you can check it for Colombia:

The problem with Colombia is that some phones are just not approved to be put on there networks even if it supports the frequency range. My brother purchased a dual sim phone that had the supported hardware to run on the frequencies in Colombia but when he went to activate he was told that particular make and model could not be used in Colombia.
I know the V10 is sold in Colombia on Exito.com webite and it is the LGH960A model but I can not find any information on if it has dual sims or not.

Is the second SIM 3G/4G capable?

Hi!
I ordered Huawei Mate 10 Pro and now I wonder if the second SIM 3G/LTE capable?
For example, on my current dual SIM LG G5 both SIM's can be chosen to use 4G network for data, although not simultaneously.
According to official site and specs it is, but I would like to read experience from real world.

S9+ Duos and Exynos - Dual Sim Dual VoLTE?

Is Galaxy S9+ Duos with Exynos SoC Dual Sim Dual VoLTE or 2nd Sim Card is 2G/3G only?
So, you will want to use two different SIMs and speak use VoLTE for both?
I think it's possible. I have never thought of it this way, but it should work (although I do not have any evidence to back it up)
Looks like SIM2 won't do LTE at all according to phonemore http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-sm-g965fds/specs/3886
2G network SIM2: GSM 850/900/1800/1900
3G network SIM2: Not supported
4G network SIM2: Not supported
Data network SIM2: GPRS, EDGE

Sorry, but Phonemore specs are completely unbelievable. It's simply bullsh...
Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8+ Duos and Note 8 Duos (all with Exynos) have 2nd SIM 2G/3G capable. Why could S9+ have only 2G network on 2nd SIM, if older models have 2G/3G?
Galaxy S9+ Duos with Snapdragon SoC supports 4G and VoLTE on both simcards simultaneously. Is it the same with Exynos version?

Unfortunately non of this devices you mention supports 3G. You have to switch in settings in order to have suport 3G,4G for sim 2 and vice versa.
S8 Exynos (G950FD) supported VOLTE on both SIM but not simultaneously; the other SIM would no longer remain in VOLTE network mode if you selected that mode for one SIM.
It's a shame that below $100 xiaomi phones now support VOLTE simultaneously on both SIM but Samsung doesn't. I hope S9 series does.

If you find out that it does will you let me know please. Currently sitting on the Mate 10 Pro which does Dual VOLTE and Dual SIM 4G, if the S9 can do this too then I'll definitely upgrade!

Well, my pre-order is expected to be delivered by 17th March; I can test and let you know by then.
Will voLTE be enabled by default on unlocked phones? Or will I have to buy an operator modified ROM to have the option to use the VoLTE or Wifi calling services?
Thanks
Its Hybrid Dual-Standby config so unfortunately only 1 sim can be primary at 4G/VoLTE and other can be only 3G/2G at that time.
Yea, I've just got my S9+ Exynos and I can confirm: when 1st SIM card is connected to LTE/VoLTE service, the second SIM card is connected to 3G network
No Dual Sim Dual VoLTE.
Shame on you, Samsung. Half year old Huawei Mate 10 Pro is better choice.

:good: Confirmed in Exynos : Only 1 SIM at a time for VOLTE while the other on 2G/3G . You can use either one of the Slots for VoLTE

Now we need to wait and see if the Snapdragon version can do it.
Another question, if you disable LTE on SIM 1, can SIM 2 then connect to LTE. Or do you have to swap the SIM cards over?

I second that.
I just received my S9+ (via renewal of my mobile contract) and received a dual sim one (check by inserting two sim cards, it does ask for both pins and let's me choose the sim card to use for calling), although it was never advertised as such.
However, it only shows LTE for the first one.
Considering that the dual-sim version is marketed as specific "Duos" devices, those might differ - but I wouldn't bet on it.

Can you chose which SIM accesses the LTE or is it only the Sim in slot 1 that can?

You can do that within settings itself.
Problem is not with switching Band of Data SIM; but having both SIM work at LTE simultaneously.

converting single sim to dual sim

I have an s9+ (Single sim) Exynos chip SM-G965F, can it be converted to dual sim?

Only by keeping one SIM in your pocket and one SIM in your phone and switch them when you want. That will be the closest you get.
There is no way to make physical modification like that to the phone.
Maybe something like this would work

Question Dual Sim support?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if the T Mobile Nord N200 have dual sim support? The one I got from t mobile the sim tray only support 1 SIM and 1 microSD, it seems there is a filled in space in the middle that has a size for another sim, do you think if there is a Oneplus dual sim tray we can buy and use it for the N200 and have dual sim support?? Thanks!
If I understand it correctly it's capable of one sim and one esim. I could be wrong however that is the way they explained it to me.
I wonder if they will market an international version of the same phone like the 6T. With the 6T you can convert it by flashing the international version of the firmware and replace the sim tray with a dual slot tray.

The Nord N200 5G does not has esim. Just single physical sim

That could be. The TMobile lady wasn't the brightest person in the world.....
Spec on GSMarena says it's dual sim capable... https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_nord_n200_5g-10961.php
So I'm hoping the tmobile version retained that functionality just need a dual sim tray...
If it was just a matter of needing the tray, I think both IMEIs would be shown. However, only one IMEI is shown so either it doesn't have eSIM or a new firmware/ROM is needed.

Dual SIM works just fine on my TMo 8T with a single IMEI, tray replaced & rom flashed. So I doubt having 2 distinct IMEI is a requirement for dual-SIM support.
If I recall correctly with my 6t it did not show the second IMEI until I flashed the international version

Having only 1 IMEI should not generally be an issue. If the dual SIM tray trick works on the N200, then both SIMs will get that same IMEI number. As long as you use the 2 SIMs on two separate cellular networks - which is usually the most common use case for dual SIMs anyway - it will work just fine with that 1 IMEI on both SIMs. I think there are multiple posts on the other Oneplus threads on XDA about this working out for them, when the dual SIM tray trick indeed was possible for that specific phone.
I think the crux here is testing out a dual SIM tray on the N200. Since I am not aware of any dual SIM N200 version released anywhere in the world, there is no easy way to purchase an actual dual SIM tray for the N200. The best test scenario I can think of is for folks who have both an N200 and any other dual SIM tray Oneplus phone - like international or factory unlocked OP8 or OP9 - they can perhaps visually verify if the dual SIM tray from the OP8 or OP9 is the same geometric shape and size as the N200 tray (which already has a filled in dual SIM tray). If so, simply try the OP8/OP9 dual SIM tray out on the N200!
Anybody who has the dual SIM tray for OP8 or OP9 as well as the N200, who is willing to look into the above test scenario for dual SIM tray for N200, and sharing their experience with us?

not sure about OP9, but I can confirm the SIM trays for OP8 and OP7 (two SIM cards overlapped with chips facing outside) have different shapes from the tray of Nord N200 (SIM1, the potential SIM2, & MicroSD slots are next to each other).
