Question Region locking? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

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.

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 !

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 !

UK dual sim model number & availability

Can anyone confirm what the model number is for the UK dual sim version of the P20 Pro? E.g. The model number of the infamous Three network contract version I've seen mentioned numerous times?
Does anyone know whether there are other UK dual sim sellers now also given its been some months since release?
On the Huawei UK website I noticed that in the technical specs (under the "SIM" section) it says that the twilight version is only in dual sim.. Correct or a mistake?
https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/phones/m/p20-pro/tech-specs/
Hoping its correct, because Carphone warehouse sell the twilight colour, so they may be selling the dual sim version without acknowledging it. I called CPW and they said that I "should assume its single sim as CPW website doesn't state dual sim".

Nope single sim. My twilight colour was dispatched by CPW and it is single sim. AFAIK, only 3 have the dual sim variant in the UK
C782 (CLT-L29). No idea about the colour though, mine's midnight blue.
I also got a Twilight in the UK from mobiles.co.uk (part of the Carphone Warehouse group).
I bought it on a Vodafone contract but is unlocked.
I hoped for dual SIM but it is model number CLT-L09 and sadly only single SIM

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 N960FD Dual sim 6GB/128GB

Hello there,
It's my first post here. Currently I am using samsung galaxy a3 2017.
I want to buy note 9. There is couple versions available at eglobalcentral and I'm looking for unlocked and eu/uk version.
Currently I'm with three, but dual sim option is tempting since I travel a lot.
Do you know if version n960fd is free of career useless apps and if it will be working fine in Ireland? Lte vise it should be working to my knowledge but I wanted to ask for your advice.
Regards,
Rafal

i know 1800 mhz is Three LTE network, here in the UK as that's the band they purchased for 4G LTE i'm not sure about ireland. Also make sure you get the Exynos as it supports all LTE bands globally same for HSPDA, HSDPA+, 3G Etc,
Also im not sure about sim unlocked as i purchased my note direct from Samsung UK i have to make a full 5 min call in the UK/EU before i can use it in the asian region, or globally as there's a sticker on the box that warns me about that!
i aint sure if one would have to make the call in asia i.e Hong Kong for full 5 mins before it starts to work over here in the UK or in your case ireland,
as eGlobal is based in Hong Kong all is stock is for the Asian market...
i could be wrong i'm sure some XDA user will know the answer!
Hey, bump up on this thread.
I bought the model mentioned in the headline.
I did not try dual sim (or 2nd sim slot) in terms of LTE, but I have received a UK version of the phone from global central. It was 690 with shipping.
Everything works as intended and I'm happy with the device.

Mexican exynos dual sim?

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?

Question Dual Sim HELP

Needing a dual SIM phone for one of my clients. He is coming from an 8T. He bought an Unlocked 10 Pro from the US OnePlus website only to realize it is single sim. A quick search shows the international version has dual sim support Checking on Amazon I see both an international version and a Chinese version? The Chinese version also sells for about $200 less. I searched and could find very little about each phone working in the US. Are both these phones International and Chinese the same phone? Both dual SIM? Both have the same bands? If I purchase the Chinese version will I need to flash with a global or US rom?
Any drawbacks to having either phone in the US?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and have the NE2213 which is essentially the global version.
Personal I'd avoid the Chinese version but that's me
You can change region but I'd rather pay the money and get the real deal.
Warranty is going to he an issue, unless you're buying it from Amazon.
As far I've read the EU / NE2213 should work as expected for what you want.
Have a google for what signal bands are required for the sins you're going to be using , it should still work but best to verify
me too bought USA version and later found that its single sim 2215. I converted to 2211 and enable dual sim support, added second imei, inserted dual sim tray as well but no matter what second imei is always null and second sim never detected.
