where can i purchase the dual sim tray for n200 5g (Tmo converted to NA)?
TIA
Edit: Replied to wrong thread.
N200 is an OPPO A54 5G / A74 5G / A93 5G derivative, so the tray from one of these should fit, but I wouldn't trust the hardware supporting it.

NO Dual SIM / 2 IMEI after i converted to NA. So i did not proceed of purchasing the dual sim tray.
On my TMo 8T+ (converted to NA), it shows 2x IMEI, even though its the same IMEI, i can use 2 SIM. Thats NOT the case with N200.
Anyone tried running the oppo a54 5g firmware on a n200 to see if it enables dual sim?
My understanding is the N200 doesn't have the hardware to support dual-SIMs, as in there's no connectors for a second SIM to plug into.

That's a shame...I'm told a N200 is a rebadged Oppo a54 5G which supports dual sim (and the sim tray matches EXACTLY except both slots are open)

Did you disassemble it and look yourself or do you have a source about it having only 1 connector?
Here's a youtube vid of a teardown of the n200 5g...it should answer the question. (I have not watched it yet)

I mistakenly replied to the wrong thread. I got asked the same question via email notification about a 7T variant. So no a 7T won't fit a N200.

I see the A54 and A55 are very closely related? But are those different vs. the A45 5G?
And I guess we still haven't confirmed if the N200 hardware can support dual-sim?

Well just to clear up the suspense...although the oppo a54 5g sim tray physically fits perfectly it will not recognize a sim in the slot normally filled in so if the contacts ARE there then additional firmware mods are also required to enable dual sim.

I'm also looking for the E2333 model after Xperia Blog's recent report on storage issues on the E2303.
However, the only region that I know is selling the E2333 is Russia and I don't know any retailers that deliver to the UK. Let me know if get anywhere.
I am thinking of buying from Amazon.fr

It does seem that Amazon.fr has the E2333, at least for the black version which is in stock.
I was looking at the Coral version and it concerned me that the description talks about a 8GB model, whilst the headline refers to a 16GB model...

Hey, I've been interested in M4 Aqua since the February announce, and I've followed this thread since its creation. I am really disappointed, same as you, by Sony and its ridiculous choice to sell only the 8GB model in Europe. Luckily now Amazon.fr saves me! BTW, I'm sorry to tell you that Sony does not produce any Coral version with 16GB, but only white and black. You can see clearly from the white paper of Sony M4 Aqua Dual. The mono-sim model with 16GB is only available in white color.

At page 5, section Memory, there are listed only two code models for 16GB: E2333 and E2363 - black and white. Coral is available in modo-sim and dual-sim, but only with 8GB. Silver is only mono-sim with 8GB. Unfortunately.

Because E2333 should be black, and the E2363 white (or the contrary, now I do not remember).
There's no relation between model number and colors. My mother own a black Xperia Z3 dual and my uncle own a brown Z3 dual and both have exactly the same model number (D6633). My old Xperia M dual is black but my friend has a purple one and again, exactly the same model number (C2004).
Starting with 2013 lineup, Xperia model number changed to the format (year)(model)(variant), where the year is a letter, starting with C (e.g. 2015 is E, 2014 is D, 2013 is C, etc.), followed by model number (23 for M4 aqua) followed then by the variant (12: dual SIM, 8GB; 33: dual SIM, 16GB, etc), resulting in a full model numer like E2333, for example). Another fact is that if you consider all colors and configurations available (dual/single SIM, HSPA/LTE, 8/16GB) there aren't enough variants available to cover them all (in that case it would be 2*2*2*4 = 40 variants, but Sony released only 6). So, yes, there's no relation between model number and colors.
I have been testing and also read on official telegram group that carrier aggregation (4G+ or LTE-A) is not enabled in Europe.
Will there be any fix for it on future updates? Phone is listed as CAT16 but its working as a CAT4.
Any idea? Was Poco community manager on forum? Would be nice to know if Pocophone will be CAT16 in Europe or just CAT4.

With *#*#4636#*#* you can see connected cells, or some apps for cell monitoring, it doesn't use never more than one band (EARFCN is the frequency of band used). Could maybe be a CAT5, that it's like CAT4 but supporting MIMO 4x4, but the most standard is CAT4. CAT6+ are all LTE-A with carrier aggregation, what Poco doesn't support in Europe bands. (some info in http://main.rfassurance.com/?q=LTEUeCategory )
Also I work on mobile network engineering, so I have some info from network, but it can be easyly checked from phone, no network aggregation = no 4g+ or LTE-A
my problem was solved by a call with three austria service line.
in fact they didn't get band 20 frequency by auction, only 1800 and 900 for volte calls only.
https://www.rtr.at/de/tk/FRQshare
so, I'd have to change my provider (telekom or t-mobile or a sub) to get band 20.

It's not related to the lack of carrier aggregation for Pocophone in Europe. My provider uses bands, 3, 7 and 20, in a cell with the three bands and that allows carrier aggregation between all them in any order, doesn't work at all while works with another phones.
Btw, installed new MIUI10 open beta, and problem is still there.
@ PocoCommunityManager are you there? Any info?

There is not 4G+ for Poco in Europe like on most xiaomi phone, stop to ask.
I don't think asking is a problem, Pocophone lists the phone as 4g+ in Europe (example: https://www.poco.net/es/specs/ or https://www.mi.com/es/pocophone-f1/specs/ ), so we ask for it.
SD845 allows it, probably it's a fw thing, not hw.

I mean, there is 4g+ but only in special conditions, very rare: it's as if it were not there.
Any chance someone from Poco team could answer this? Other phones using perfectly 4g+ and Pocophone fake CAT16 doesn't at all?
My internet is slower on pocophone than in my last phone, Xiaomi mi a2. And both have band 20, then i thing that is a rom problem.
I think more band combinations are available with MiUi 10 because after the update it's showing me 4G+ on a network.
I'm also having the same problem in Europe. It just wouldn't connect to 4G+, not like on other phones. My operator supports 3+20 and 3+7+20 band carrier aggregation. LTE Discovery app shows that the phone is always connected to band 3 only.
Up !
I wrote about this problem in the main pocophone forum and to be honest there is no real official reply. Some people wrote that CA is disabled due to pocophone not buying proper licences from Qualcomm.
It's difficult to say how accurate this explanation is. One thing is definite, they advertise pocophone as LTE cat.16 capable and at the same time they disable this feature completely and limit capabilities to LTE cat.4 (not even cat.6 ....). This is not what you call honest marketing. More like lying about you product capabilities. I think CA happens but only in India or in some extremely rare cases in some other countries, especially if certain phone companies offer CA on frequencies similar to indian frequencies.
No developer can activate this option? With a custom ROM or something? The sd845 supports this though!
Any update?
they are not interested as usual. flagships in Xiaomi's term: "yeah it's fast but that's all. buy it then don't ask CAUSE IT'S FAST OKAY?"
Why is this thread inactive? I live in Greece where carriers use 3 7 and 20 for 4g although poco is always connected on 3 as stated. Has anyone tried to enable 3CA using QPST?
I usually get connected to band 3 or 20.
I'm in Spain. To make sure I'm using band 20 I switch from 4g to 3g and back to 4g Enmidiately. Screenshots attached.
Is this device compatible with AT&T network? Or is it just not compatible with the 5G network?
These are the bands the phone has. So it should work just fine on att and tmobile (plus all the sub carriers from these two)

It is more compatible with TMobile and Verizon because it has the bands they use. It barely has 5g bands and barley any 4g bands for att. It'll work but you'll have signal issues most likely. TMobile is pretty cheap and the service they have now is miles better than what it was even 3 years ago.

Well, I need/want a phone with headphone jack and SD slot, which are hard to come by, so I guess I'm going to have to switch to T-Mobile.
I spoke with a guy at B&H Photo, who are taking pre-orders. We had a long conversation about the bands. His view is ATT will be about the same as T-Mobile for 5G coverage based on what he could see of T-Mobile's 5G bands. I pre-ordered and will give it a try on ATT. I can always move to T-Mobile if I'm not happy with how it runs on ATT>

How is being parked under a 5g tower magically going create apps or tech that takes advantage of 5g?
I thought the Xperia could connect to the 5G bands that actually will increase connection speed drastically: n41, n71, n77, and n78. I do not value the mmwave 5G because they drastically drain battery.
11 frequencies are used in N.A.
Checkmarks added for Xperia III U.S. market capabilities.
X n2 (1900 PCS)
✓ n5 (850)
X n12 (700)
X n25 (1900)
✓ n41 (2500)
✓ n66 (1700)
✓ n71 (600)
✓ n77 (3700 MHz) used for C-band
✓ n78 (3500) used for C-band
X n260 mmWave (39GHz)
X n261 mmWave (28GHz)
Extra info:
13 frequencies are used internationally:
n1 (2100) Britain
n3 (1800) Germany
n7 (2600) Thailand
*n8 (900) China?
n20 (800) Australia
n28a (700) France
n38 (2600) Thailand
n40 (2300) Australia
n66 (2800) Kuwait
n79 (China)
*n258 mmWave(26 GHz) Australia
Same as N.A.: n41 (2500), n77 (3700 MHz) used for C-band, n78 (3500) used for C-band
Possible that n8 (900) is used in U.S. in future?
*not supported on iphone 12. Iphone 12 has the most 5G connectivity capabilities. I researched where all the bands supported are used.

B&H Photo, the best.
Only issue with 5G coverage is it's coverage even when there are plenty of 5G towers. It's more directional than 4G.
Perhaps the rep is correct though, their staff tends to be very knowledgeable. AT&T is a monster anyway

Thanks. I look forward to your experience
Hate to break it to you but we will only be able to get 4G LTE with HD Voice. This is extremely agrevating as I purchased the Xperia Pro to take advantage of the 'extraorinary' 5G speeds but turns out the phone only gets 4G LTE + HD Voice. IMEI gets picked up by AT&T as the Xperia Pro and even with a APN changed it refuses to connect.
Since the phone is unlocked, couldn't you get it on AT&T and if the 5g coverage didn't work well, just switch over to TMobile?
When ordering you have to pick carrier, my guess is that they include a SIM for that carrier? but you could just swap to another carrier SIM if you wanted later?

5G speeds tend to not be so extraordinary. Up to a 20% increase over 4G LTE if you're within range which is also iffy. That's what I've been seeing reported.
I wouldn't sweat it...
Just spent a few hours w/ T-Mobile Expert Tech and Xperia USA Tech after trying everything to access T-M's 5G n41 band with my 1 III (XQ-BC72). Short answer: it's not happening and neither rep knew why so they're submitting a ticket and will get back to me.
For what it's worth - although the "Expert" reps would neither deny nor confirm, when I called Xperia Support USA (855-806-8464), the tech rep there said she found a Sony bulletin which said only Verizon 5G is working currently and T-Mo and AT&T will be fixed in a software update - no ETA.

No Volte and no wifi calling on Sony too (its terrrrrrrible)
The Xperia 1 III US model doesn't support 5G very well. It's unreliable even on T-Mobile because stand alone mode is disabled in the phone's configuration. It combines a short-range LTE band with long-range NR 71. Being that SA is disabled, it gains nothing but battery drain from that mix.
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.

Yeah the phone only has 1 IMEI

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).
I was having issues with my Mk III answering and making calls, I figured I would try a new Sim. They refused saying that AT&T has a approved list of phones they will allow to be used due to the 3G going away. Has anyone heard about thid

Check the AT&T whitelist for your model, if it's listed, it's supported.
First mistake is ever using ATT, go with T-mobile, Verizon, or a reseller like Mint or straight talk.

AT&T is working fine, seamlessly for my 2 N10+'s; N975U, N975U1. Didn't have to do anything after the switch over. Your device wasn't configured for or running on 4G VoLTE and that's the issue.

Sending you a new SIM would be pointless 'cause your phone is 3G only and AT&T no longer has a 3G network.
It doesn't work well with T-Mobile either. It's using standalone 5G channel combos even though Sony disabled standalone 5G for all US bands. The end result is lots of signal drops because it has long-range NR 71 but lost the medium range LTE band 2 or 66 it needs. It takes it a few minutes to switch to LTE 71 or LTE 12.
I am on VZW and 5G works great. Only once have I seen it change to LTE and that was because of weather. It sound like the ATT person you talked to was assuming you were on a 3G phone, and there not going to give a sim card for a 3G phone. The system is going away.

I wonder if you have a defective phone...or you live in an area where the signal towers are too far away???
I realize that this phone "needs" to have NSA or NSA+SA mode turned on to receive 5G on T-Mobile. However, I have none of the signal issues or drops that you are having. Something is wrong with your device specifically.

It's as designed:
Sony Xperia 1 III (US) (XQ-BC62) | 4G/5G Bands & Combos
4G & 5G Bands, Carrier Aggregation and Dual Connectivity Combinations for Sony Xperia 1 III (US) (XQ-BC62)
cacombos.com
Sony is using the wrong long-range band for the sake of turning on the 5G indicator. It should be using LTE 66 + LTE 12.
I have a SA 5G phone for comparison and it has a far faster and more stable signal. I bring it when I hike or travel.

Thanks for the link to the att website that listed the Sony phones as not being affected by the 3G closure. I went back in and they acknowledged that the phone was OK but could not get the new Sim card to work on their tablet . I got them to call AT&T tech support and though he had trouble initially got it activated. The new Sim seems faster and so far has not stopped working. The old Sim card if I remember was from my previous phone a Experia 1 Mk II. My MK III is from Best Buy (unlocked} and not a international model.
Yes I know this phone does not work with most of AT&T 5G network. Their 4G is pretty fast and with my travel in the past I have loved their network throughout the country.

You're welcome.
I don't have a 5G model either. I deliberately got the 4G for better battery life... 4G is fast enough today.

Sorry. I replied to the wrong post. If your phone isn't in the list of phones you'll find in post #2, then they won't send a new SIM. And I don't know what model "1 III" refers to, so I can't check it.

You're in the forum of that model why are you even here when you have no idea what's Xperia 1 III?!
