HI everyone, I have an s10e exynos model, the sim tray only have room to single sim but when I saw the box shows two same imei.
Back to the s9 plus Mexican model flash the combination firmware and give me the surprise that in the model screen shows /DS but since last year was the China snapdragon here in Mexico there not too much development and ask the same question but nobody respond.
Now this year the return of the exynos variant in my country can we install dual sim or maybe on the future when twrp it's available can create a mod to enabled that function and with a dual sim tray could work?

Ah ok thanks, do you know if the dual version uses the same firmware as the single version?
Yes the single sim N960F and dual sim N960FD versions use the same firmware.
Not all the international versions of the note 9 are dual sim, you have to look for the N960FD version whitch is the dual sim.
By the way international version uses exynos chipset while the north american version uses snapdragon chipset. All snapdragon versions are single sim.
Other asian versions are exynos and also dual sim but you will lickely have problems with radio bands and software bloatware.

There is a Snapdragon Dual-SIM variant (SM-N9600) that can be rooted.
However,if you're in a market to where the Exynos-powered version is the status quo,you're probably better off getting the Exynos version,especially when it comes to using your region/carrier specific CSC/firmware.

I need the Dual SIM version to be the UK one specifically. Also UK models are only Exynos variants.
"Dual SIM options
Samsung manufactures the Galaxy Note 9 in both Single & Hybrid Dual SIM versions. In the UK, Hybrid Dual SIM is only officially available through Samsung directly."

All Dual SIM Exynos phones are identical. The only difference is the CSC installed.
The one being sold in the UK is the exact same as the one being sold in Europe, Middle East and Asia.

Different plugs and network bands; any non-UK version will not work with Samsung Pay in the UK.

Different plugs is what comes in the box.
Network bands are exactly the same, and Samsung Pay is enabled once you insert a UK SIM.

I wanted a UK one because of BTU CSC. I managed to get a Dual SIM UK version.
Be aware that if you use two SIMs that you cannot also use an SD card.
Hello All
I just bought S10 Australian Version G973F online from dubai (exynos)
I thought it will be Dual sim but actually it's Single sim
So is there any difference between the dual and single sim in terms of hardware ? Cuz here in my country only Dual sim is available so if there's a difference in hardware i will be in trouble cuz I won't be able to fix it if something went wrong.
I went to Samsung office here and they can't decide they told me different opinions so i hope anyone can help me.
Have a nice day all
Hi All,
I just returned empty handed from the Samsung store at the mall. I wanted to pick up the Samsung s20 FE dual sim. I need dual sim. I was told by the sales person that they only carry the single sim in the store. I asked him if he could pop the sim tray from a sample s20 FE and showed me that it only tales a sim and a SD card. Then he said that you can only get dual sim when ordering online.
I just when online and don't see a dual sim option.
So is it true that Samsung makes single sim models and a dual sim model?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Yes, it's true. When you say you went online and didn't see a dual-SIM option, do you mean you went to Samsung USA (as it appears you're located in the States)? Samsung USA (or anywhere in North America) doesn't offer a dual-SIM model. What the sales rep meant was you have to go online to buy an international, dual-SIM variant of the S20 FE, of which there are several.

Thanks for the reply looks like I will have to start looking at Oneplus again because I already have a dual sim setup on my oneplus 6t works excellent but wanted something with better camera and able to record calls.
I already tried the Pixel 5 or about 2 weeks but had to return due to all the short coming on dual sim. I was not able to set a separate ring tone for each sim and there is not way to setup call record.
So I'll keep looking for solutions.

I actually quite like Samsung's dual-SIM phones - partly because I am used to Samsung's ecosystem, and partly because of their dual-SIM features. I currently have a dual-SIM S9+, and I plan to get a dual-SIM S20 FE myself. I don't think any of them have native call recording though - but of course there are apps for that.
Just got my S21 Ultra from Amazon Germany. (I have to have dual SIM and HK version does not work in one of the countries I visit regularly). It does not have the usual sticker about having to make a 5 minute call with a European SIM to unlock it. Has Samsung abandoned the region-locking? I had not heard that anywhere.
I can only confirm that the HK version 9910 is dual SIM enabled and both work perfectly, if this helps you.
So, I was gifted a brand new Samsung S20 FE 5G - unlocked but they did not know I still need my old sim to run some banking apps (so - need two sims running). The model number of the phone is SM-G781W which is a single sim model for Canada.
One of my network providers has e-Sim support. So, is it possible to flash the dual network firmware on this S20 FE?
Any comments?
Edit:
The sim tray has some 'ridges' in so as to not allow placing a second sim. May be a simple sim tray swap might work?
try looking on eBay for a sim tray. maybe you can flash unlocked US firmware, but don't get your hopes too high.
have Canadian firmware ready if needed.

What if I try the global dual sim version's firmware?
Edit: Thanks for the reply by the way! Appreciate it.
I would try U or U1 firmware (can't remember which is the unlocked one) over the international versions. the B firmware is more likely to have frequency differences.
Any luck with this project? I assume it would be possible, I peered into the SIM/SD slot and think I saw the hardware for the the second SIM above the SD hardware.
Also interested to know if this worked?
I also have the SM-G981W Canadian Variant. I just bought it yesterday, knowing that it had a faulty SIM reader slot that can only be replaced by taking apart the phone and resoldering. My newest phone prior to this one is a Galaxy S8, so I didn't know a lot about eSIM and had assumed I could just use eSIM and assumed very, very wrong.
I'm also wondering if I can flash international firmware to enable eSIM (I have no SIM card manager).

I don`t think You need other firmware. If the software detects esim it will just start to appear.
