Dual SIM rumor? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Is Dual SIM a rumor or is there any confirmed source? I havent noticed it on Sony's, various region, pages, so far only few news outlets write about it. Some of the retailers are leaving out Single/Dual SIM info

Single sim

GSMarena did their review of XZ1 Compact today and they seem to suggest it has a hybrid sim slot and will support dual SIM. I am also confused with the conflicting information about this everywhere.

Hi!
Are there any news about this topic?
I'm thinking about ordering a Xz1 compact, but I would need dual sim capability really badly.
What about the rumors about the Hybrid SIM/SD card?
Thank you

Would be very interested about news according this topic! In Switzerland in our Price comparing Website there is already a phone listed as "SONY Xperia XZ1 Compact Dual-SIM, 32GB, Schwarz" but no option to buy yet. Do we know more by now?
Cheers

Mine doesn't seem to have dual-sim capabilities.

Do they sell the dual sim version at best buy?

As far as I know the dual sim is not available at all at best buy.
Even on the Motorola US page you cannot order the dual sim. The first one I ordered from Motorola directly in the US had just one sim slot, so I sent it back.
The one I ordered in Germany has the dual sim. Funny is that both models were shipped from the same location in China
The dual sim model is not avaiable in US.

Is there a dual sim version ?

Hi,
I am looking to change my xperia X Compact to XZ1 Compact, but i will need in a few month a dual sim phone.
Is there a dual sim version on the XZ1 Compact, or do i have to buy the XZ1 ?
Thanks
There is a version. I saw it in the Wondamobile store, and on eBay. Probably is only available in Asian markets, so you will need to use a reseller like the ones mentioned. Make sure you chose one that accepts Paypal and returns, to be safe. The only problem is that it also has only 32Gb and an hybrid tray (you need to chose between 2nd SIM or SD card), which I find insufficient nowadays. If it came with 64Gb of storage it would be mine already.

I highly doubt it, there's been misinformation all over the place about a dual sim variant, but to date no proof can be found from official sources.
Some rumors claim that a dual sim variant was in the works but cancelled at the last minute.
Chances are the specs you saw listed in the store and on eBay are false.
FWIW, only one model number (G8441) is listed under the XZ1 Compact on Xperifirm, a dual sim variant will have a different model number, possibly G8442 given the similar naming schemes of the XZ1 and XZ Premium.
That said, I'd very much like to be proven wrong since I'm also in the market for a dual sim variant.
Thanks for the answers.
I just look at xpericheck.com, and there is actually only one version for the XZ1 Compact.

Nokia 8 TA-1004 Dual SIM

Hi guys,
I need your help in something, im searching to buy the Nokia 8 Dual SIM variant, unfortunately here in Cyprus where i live the haven't brought the phone yet so i'm looking to order it online.
But the think is that from Ebay or some other website that i looked they sell the TA-1052 variant which is for China/Taiwan market. Or mostly they sell the Single SIM variant.
Do you know where i can find the TA-1004 Dual SIM version ?
Thanks !
Nokia official shop. I just bought one

In most of the EU countries dual sim is available from Nokia directly or major resellers. Just order it online.
Unfortunately in Cyprus there is no Nokia official shop here and the reseller is going to bring only the Single SIM version.
In Greece which i'm also searching most of them they have the Single SIM version, some others that the list a Dual SIM version they mention the TA-1052 variant which is meant for the Chinese market
If you can suggest a website it would be great because so far only the Single SIM i'm finding...
Edit: And also if if i find a Dual SIM model they only have it in Steel color and not in Tempered Blue which i'm looking for.
I can not specify a known and valid online shop in EU which would send abroad. Amazon maybe?
I bought mine in PL, but dual sim tempered blue is easy available in other EU countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc.
Dunno if it helps you but I got my dual sim tempered blue nokia 8 from amazon india website. I am from India and the model i am holding( in fact typing this message) is a "Made in India" Nokia 8 model.
Just for your info.
They are for sale on amazon.es (Spain) not sure if they ship to Cyprus though.
Finally i found it through ebay (Germany) and bought at lower price than Cyprus and already received it...
Thanks for your help and suggestions !

Hybrid Sim (i.e. supports dual sim operation) availability in UK?

Hi,
Does anyone know whether the Nokia 8 john Lewis sells supports dual sim, or know anywhere else that sells a dual sim supporting model in the UK?
Thanks
For anyone else looking for a UK Dual Sim model, they're almost impossible to find. The BT Shop lists them at £521 (yes £220 more than most places currently list the single sim ) but I couldn't find them elsewhere. Plenty of grey imports on Amazon, and ebay has the usual sellers importing the Asian market version from China but trying to pretend they're based elsewhere, with the usual warranty risks. I went with purchasing an EU model from Clove - they're slightly dearer than the UK single sim versions, but not too bad. I'm guessing pressure from UK network providers is why we largely get single sim versions. Probably not a big issue for folks who live and work in one place, but I've yet to find a network provider who offers consistently good data coverage across Kent.
I looked at the 7 plus as an alternative (surprisingly hard to choose between the two) but I think the Nokia 8 still has the edge and Dual Sim versions of the 7 Plus aren't any easier to find in the UK.

Anyone know where I can get the dual SIM plus dedicated microSD slot version?

Basically, that's my question. Other posts talk about the hybrid version but I need the one where I can use two SIMs and the microSD at the same time. I know it exists, according to LG and GSMarena, but I can't find it to buy. It looks like the Australian version MAY be dual SIM plus dedicated microSD, although I haven't had that confirmed, but so far I haven't been able to find an Australian shop that ships to the US.
Anyone know where I can get one? Ebay hasn't been any help either.
There isn't one. The AU/NZ version is hybrid dual SIM too.
Global Dual SIM versions are all LM-V405EBW.
Thanks. OK, I'm going to have to give up on the V40. If I really want the dual SIM plus microSD, I'm going to have to look closely at the new Asus Zenfone 6. Only LCD and no wifi but life is full of having to make difficult choices.
