Hopefully some google techs come by this post. As you guys have noticed the dual sim phone trend is growing. The convenience of not having to carry 2 phones is very helpful. For the ones who have to carry personal and business phones this thread is for us.
I was really hoping they released this with dual Sims. Currently I have a Oneplus One as a main line and I need to get a second phone asap. I'm hoping there could be some sort of mod we can do to change the Huawei to dual sim. Huawei has a lot of dual sim phones so I'm assuming the hardware comes already pre-wired for it.
I'm hoping to find a way not to have to carry my Oneplus One and a Nexus 6P. Both phones are pretty hefty to carry especially in a suit. I understand the phone is not released yet but let's get the ball rolling.

FAQ
Is it even hardware capable?
Yes, it is actually. Have a look here at the teardown by ifixit.

What about the sim tray?
It is able to hold 2 nano sims by default. The only issue is there is a bar blocking the second sim slot. You are able to bypass this by using a dremel tool and cutting it off. If you're not that handy there are some users here making 3d printed trays. This will be updated once someone is willing to supply the rest with working trays.
What about the IMEI for the second slot?
It can be set to 0 and used as such. It has been done in various other devices.
Isn't setting the IMEI to 0 illegal?
Check your countries laws. USA = NO
Sim Tray Variants
BLACK Plastic
SILVER Metal
You can use a dremel on the metal one and pop the sim card in. It has the slot ready only thing it's blocked off by a thin metal bar.
You can try http://www.simore.com/en/
I have a colleague of mine who uses this when travelling abroad. It keeps 3 sims active & fourth being inside your device. He uses the iphone case one. You could try the bluetooth adapters aswell.

I'm hoping it's a generic motherboard and design they're using. One that includes dual sim by default. Hopefully all it takes is only a software flash.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Very suspicious.
In any case, for the P8 to enable dual-sim you don't do it by flashing but rather by applying a "vendor patch". The vendor patch doesn't program the "hardware" but changes config files to enable menus.
The format is not a ZIP that you can apply on the recovery.
The P8Lite "patch" enables the menus (not shown with even two inserted sims). I guess on Android M they'd be natively there and would show if the hardware was (even without a SIM) enabled.
Probably not speaking about something similar, taking in mind the Nexus philosophy (if kept) of vanilla boot-loaders and recovery.
But I'd even bet more on "product variant", something very hard to change (a "bit" hidden somewhere unknown).
Thanks for pasting my post fummod, saves me doing it! Personally I'm not overly fussed if its dual sim or not but I figured someone out there might care! If it is then bonus, if not then I won't really be bothered as I don't need two phone lines. I know nothing more or less than was shown on the video. Nothing is shown about hardware revision or anything specific about anything. I would just expect it to arrive with 1 sim card ability but if it can work with 2 then even better

This is a prototype unit.. Russian's have a good relationship whit huawei.. I think there is 0 chance for 6p dual sim

I'm hoping for generic setups for Huawei. If that's the case it'll be hardware ready for dual sim. Got to love cost saving features at times. This is the difference between me carrying 2 phones or 1 phone at the same time.

For discussions sake what does having a good relationship have to do with dual sim? And how do you explain the picture's I shown here if there's 0 chance? The model here is defiantly dual sim and why would they do that for a prototype and not final model? Either way it doesn't bother me because I only need 1 phone line but it would be quite cool to have dual sim capabilities
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Do you know what the word prototype means ? [emoji15]
A prototype can have for example 4gb of ram,20mp camera but that doesn't mean that these specs will be in the final unit..
Did you see the picture of the nexus 5 2013 whit the fingerprint sensor ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
They could even make a dual sim motherboard to use on a similar Huawei product. And then just disable the HW with just a flag to keep Nexus philosophy. They could even be internal micro-sd connectors up to a card holder. If it's easier to assemble all variants the same they'd just disable it later, perhaps on some OTP, so it wouldn't be possible to enabled later.
Sometimes it's cheaper to make them all in the same assembly line and not to have variants.
Just speculation.

Please don't get condescending on me, of course I know the definition of the word prototype! It was people like you that put me off xda in the first place because everyone is an expert! I am only here again because this new phone has sparked my interest again. I didn't see the pictures of the n5 with a fingerprint scanner, first iv heard of it actually and I owned it since Nov 2013. Im not even saying for sure it will have dual sim, all I know is everywhere I've read it doesn't mention dual sim or says single sim only BUT there is a video and screen shots showing otherwise. Lets just see what happens at release and let it be a pleasant suprise

That's my guess as well. It's cheaper and more efficient to just pump out the same assembly over and over. Ifixit or someone needs to tear it down in depth to see if the hardware is there. The enabling part is what makes a Nexus truly a Nexus. The community will do that together.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
I hope to god it has dual sim support, that would be amazing. I would no longer have to carry two phones around. Even if there's space for it, like you guys are saying above, the community can work on getting it enabled for everyone.
It would be an overall plus for many! Like FI, Travel, Future proof, etc.
Exactly that would make it really future proof for sure
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Its not a prototype, its a knockoff. If they wanted to not use the Nexus name on the back for a true prototype, they wouldve just slapped a generic back on it, like any other manufacturer. Why would they go through the trouble of engraving and polishing "seuen" instead of nexus on the back? and the printed "MOBILE PHONE" in english on the bottom of the back. It looks like the typeface used on all the knockoff iPhones that also come with dual sim.
Dude you're crazy, it's clearly a Nexus device and not a knock off. They cannot make knock offs this quickly after an announcement. Maybe the logo is like that so they can test the logo placement on the device and see how it looks.

Mint is a phone NOT a tablet. Its a similar device to the Hayabusa, but with a larger screen.
Do I buy the device I have available now or wait for an unannounced rumor? The choice is yours.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
Okay, there was a recent rumor from 13x in the ICS thread, and since no one wants to wake up the thread that was made earlier about the Hayabusa, I will throw his quote in here...
unknown13x said:
Hayabusa is confirmed to have 8960 chipset with Mint despite all the rumors. So that's confirmed. I know people will ask why not Pro version and such. I don't know. It will have microSD card slot now. IMO, I'm starting to feel like they will now use the "arc HD" for this device Though I could be wrong, just IMO.

My thoughts are...if this is rumored to be much more expensive than the S, I don't quite see the price/spec comparison.
Yes, it's got the S4 (which in another thread it's appears to be not too much of an upgrade), but it seems to me that it won't be all its worked up to be, and in the end I'm still glad I didn't wait .
Yea, it's got a card slot in it, but I don't see the problem with the S not having a slot? with USB OTG you save loads of space, and the internal memory is large enough to hold anything I need at least .
It's more of "do you want to wait" than "should I wait" in my opinion. Like it always is, if you wait, something better will always come along...when the Hayabusa eventually comes out, you don't think there will be rumors about the S5 phones flying around? It will be released around when the S5 devices could actually come out.
Not saying that it won't be a device to watch for...I just don't think it's much of the upgrade people think it will be, and certainly doesn't make me think twice about getting my S.
/twocents
Edit: S4 does have LTE support, so I guess that could be a plus, but for my use I can't really care and still not worth a rumored price gap between the devices.
There's no info about hayabusa yet...
However, There were some leaks about an unknown device before, which looks like Arc successor

Judging by the image, the front is identical to Arc, but the body is much thicker => much larger battery...why? I guess the reason is that it will have LTE as qualcomm s4 supports 4g
It might not be available in countries which do not have 4g network.
Besides, until hayabusa realeases, there will be other rivals which might temp you away from Sony phones like the upcoming Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5
Does anybody know anything about screen display dimensions?

I thought it would be interesting to hear everyone's thoughts since the Z Ultra is more of a niche device.
For me, it's mainly because of the screen size as I wanted something more of a small tablet. I was deciding between this and Nexus 7 FHD LTE but ultimately went with the Z Ultra. Expandable memory was a huge factor in this. Plus I want to try out Sony again. I like them.
So what's your reason?

Had a Nexus 7 2012 and a htc sensation, my sensation died and started to feel annoying by always have to carrying both phone and tab. Started to look for a phablet and found the XZU, meanwhile I saw the specs of the new n7 and got really disappointed. The XZU is the ultimate phablet, no real competitors yet (galaxy mega is too far behind). Sony really worked on the build quality, and this is a real plus, plastic devices can't be call a high-end devices.

Well, I wanted to get the biggest device out there because my fingers are quite fat. I'm not saying that I'm fat but my hands are ..well ..kind of wide and thick. 4,7 inches is just to small for my hands.
I am forever a crackberry user after having the 9900 before my One X and the Bold series is hands down the best devices for typing on. But they are small, and BB phones are..just very boring.
Why I chose SONY and to continue with android is because the user friendly unlocking process of the bootloader just like HTC without using some exploit or bug. And I got a bit too comfortable with the idiot safe and too stable HTC devices and roms. I had the Desire PVT4, One X endeavour and now my dad got the silver HTC One which I'm in charge of flashing new roms and updates on so naah, I wanted to try something new and exciting with premium built quality! :fingers-crossed:
Hello, I will order my XZU in a few days. I already got a 6,44" Smartphone and im happy with its size, its perfectly fits in my jeans pocket and in my hands so i wouldn't have any problems with the size of the XZU. It is waterproof, looks pretty good and it have the snap800 thats why i decided to order it.
The camera isn't a problem in my eyes, when i want to take high quality pictures then i dont use a smartphone.
I had the Galaxy Note, and it was time to move on, so i was looking for something with a big screen. I first wanted the Xperia Z, since i really like Sony's Omni Balance design, but the screen just ruined the whole thing for me, so i checked the HTC One out, but the screen is too small. I had no idea after that, so i waited and suddenly Sony announced the Ultra, and i checked out their ad, and i started laughing since it's so huge. I dismissed it on the spot and continued with my day. A couple of days later i though about it again and i checked some more videos of it, and i suddenly said to myself, "i must have it". And that pretty much it.
Why didn't i go with the Note 3? I've had a Note for almost two years, and i wanted to leave Samsung. They are stuck IMO, and the only thing they keep pushing out now are big or small versions of an existing product, and they are still shoving crap into TouchWiz. No thanks.

Not to mention ATT looks like they locked the bootloader on Note 3. Not sure if Tmo did the same, but it looks like they share the ATT LTE bands. I still felt that the C6806 with LTE on ATT and larger screen is better than any other device.
I come from the Note 2 and have been maintaining TWRP on the Note1 ATT and all Note 2 devices. I want to see if I can use motochopper on the C6806 since I don't trust vroot as much.
I just really wanted a small fast tablet with FHD, went round them all and finally the XZU emerged; some only dual core, some low res, some no expandable storage. Albeit the XZU is designed to be primarily a phone first, as a tablet it also excels at getting the job done. I travel internationally for work purpose, often to destinations way off the grid such as Borneo, so space is always an absolute premium.
Of course the display, I have never owned a mobile device that literally people comment on the quality of the image reproduction, especially films. Maybe I lucked out, equally I have not seen better on a mobile.
My only concern is 16Gb, bigger aps, ever larger data 32Gb should be the default on premium products. As the Galaxy Note 3 now comes with 32Gb as default it`s simply a matter of time before others follow suit, my only concern is the XZU is such a niche product it may not sustain...

Yes, they're really good at hardware specs, but not the hardware itself and the software. Plastic and TouchWiz doesn't scream "i paid top dollar for this". When i buy a Porsche i expect the best interior, exterior and performance. Samsung is good at performace. They are the Corvette of the mobile world, awesome performance but ****ty build quality (Corvettes are 101% plastic). Sony is the Aston Martin. Stylish, really fast (and expensive).
Not saying that Sony is perfect, because they're not, but they're the closest i'll get to high performace, openess and build quality in one device.
In case you haven't heard, the all new successor to our beloved HAM2 is the Mate7! Whether or not Huawei went through 4 different Mate models that we never knew about, I'll never know. I presume (since many people haven't heard of Huawei) they want the HAM7 to look "one step ahead" of the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S6.
Here's the official Huawei page for the Mate7, and some pictures.

I think the biggest updates are the fingerprint sensor and the 1080p resolution. The rest of the specs are somewhat similar to our phone, so hopefully it won't have a huge price bump.
I'm sure a US version will come out eventually. Huawei wanted to come to the US with the HAM2 so it wouldn't make sense to not make this.

Agreed. They are certainly ramping up to compete with the other big guys here. After having the HAM2 I have no reason to believe I'll go back to those others.

anyone know anything about the SoC Hisilicon Kirin 925 4x1.8GHz+4x1.3GHz+1x230MHz
WTF is it besides an octocore......are these chip makers a new company on the scene and if so is there any software that will be compatible with it....other than that a nice iphony look'a'like......:laugh:

They are Huawei in house chip designers....
My Mate 2 MT2-L05 has a Hisilicon Kirin 910 chip in it which runs everything flawlessly, and if you look in the benchmarking thread, it also appears to be considerably faster than the Qualcomm 400 Snapdragon in the MT2-L03 US version, although until the MT2-L03 runs on 4.4.2 a direct comparison is slightly unfair.
The Mate7 will also be available in a 3GB RAM/32GB configuration.
I find it hard to believe Huawei would release a US version of the AM2, vastly improve it, and then not sell a US version of that successor. I would guess that a US version comes out a month or so after the foreign version is widely available.
I have the AM2. Without knowing what the AM7 would look like, my suggestions would've been:
Improve build quality
Make thinner+more compact
Lighter
Enable double tap to wake/faster way to unlock than antiquated side button
Improve performance+screen quality without sacrificing battery life
They've done all of the items on my list. I'll be trading in my Mate 2 for this baby the second a US compatible model becomes available.

Agreed.
Current phones, Ascend Mate 2, LG G3, LG G2, LG Lucid 3. Tablets, Nexus 7, LG GPad. I like the Ascend Mate 2 the best.
Most of the width and weight seems to be the battery. I changed the DPI to 264 and if not for application issues 240 was perfect screen is bright and clear flexible frame and screen I am more than impressed. Adjustments made and the phone is super snappy. I agree about the button placement though. Other than that really taken with this phone.
A model of the Mate7, MT7-L09 is purported to work with TMO/ATT LTE in the US. The price is higher than the AM2, but it's also a better screen, higher build quality and Android 4.4 out of the box. I'm thinking of giving it a shot.

I would rather go with the new nexus if I was to buy anything else for that price range
Not me. I prefer the significantly better battery life, thinner+more compact frame and microSD slot at $550 vs the Nexus 6 64GB at $750 after taxes.
Wish it had been this price when I bought my HAM2
Mate 7 is still too pricy for me... And doesn't have full network support only 1/2 bands supported so many places in the rural area I live in wouldn't have signal as I found out with my previous phone before the mate 2. I love the full network support and better connectivity with this $300 phone. 550 is still too much in my opinion.

Just want to mention that there is no official US version yet, this is an individual seller, so no warranty, no support, even seller reputation need put into consideration. Of course network/band will be another issue.
What model are going to trade for with your recall replacement and what is compatible in your opinion?
I am not thrilled about the glass with this phone (small crack near volume rocker)and many reports in the wild about scratches this early into release. The touch, especially the buttons feel a little less responsive than my not 5 and i swear my internet lags, especially when loading pages (but not positive on that one).
I am not one to complain about performance when each new model is first released. I have been in the game for years and years and think these few complaints with the note 7 may have leaning to pick another phone for my recall replacemt. I do like the note 7 though so tough decision.
Too bad more new phones were released in this unfortunate time
A recall for about 1 out of half a million batteries? That's still better odds than a few grains of peanut in your ice cream (which can kill some people). A new Note 7. With the odds being 1 out of half a million, the odds that the second one is also defective is probably too great to calculate on a 64 bit computer.

If rumors are correct, the Nexus Google Sailfish and Marlin phones are supposed to be released this month. The Marlin apparently has a 5.5" QHD AMOLED screen. Other rumored specs seem similar to the Note 7.

lmao you wanna go with LG? the company that consistently have quality control issues about GPS not working and overheating issues? Even though they got thousands of cases and refuse to do anything about it? Compared to Samsung where 35 devices have exploded or caught on fire and suspects about a possible 400k affected devices and they doing a full blown 2.5mill recall? ha you're funny and so is loyalty.
I'm a note 7 user and i haven't owned a Samsung device since 2010 which was my first smartphone and one of my best phones ever and since then i've moved onto Oneplus, Nexus etc so i'm not even remotely close to a Sammy fanboy but i'll tell ya what, i've only owned one LG device since back in 2012/2013 i think and it had such crappy GPS performance, literally every single device "Optimsu F7" and LG blew it over like it was nothing and said its not a problem. Now its happening to their LG G5 plus overheating issues. The day that LG told me and thousands of other customers who paid for the F7 that the GPS is functional and nothing is wrong is the day i vowed to never buy another LG device. loyalty is a funny thing and right now Samsung has my objective loyalty of how they're handling this situation.
They only did it because they didn't want to get sued. The voluntary recall was the loop hole for them.
I'll keep my note 7 until they have replacement note 7 in. Mine doesnt get hot from charging or using it. I'll watch it but i agree 35 cases out of how many phones? That's pretty good odds and nothing's flawless.

Actually I have owned the g3, g4 and v10. They all perforned well, were snappy and i didn't have any of those issues (I thought the g3 was lovely). But I always returned to Samsung because the screens were better for me.

I dpnt trust any carrier that says they will let you use a loaner phone until the corrected version is released. So easy for them to say well thats your phone. You traded your note 7 for that Phone. So enjoy it.

I'm straight swapping my existing (non defective) Note 7 for the NIB unit Samsung is going to hand over; whenever they may arrive that is.
.
As a long time (since the 2) Note series user, I may be a little biased when I say -
There is no good reason to move away from this generation of the Note.
While I do agree there currently is a noticeable performance lag when certain functions/tasks are carried out; app switching and the recents key being the most prevalent for me. Being software related, it's only a matter of time before any and all performance issues are resolved. Besides, these things are to be expected when adopting the latest and greatest.
Personally, I'm not putting any stock in the devices' (supposed) susceptibility to scratching. To be fair - I am acutely mindful of the how, what, and where my phone is being placed. As such, the device is never in a position to suffer a scratch.
All petty complaints aside, this iteration of the Note is still a vast improvement over the 5.
The way I see it is if you enjoy the device and make use of all that is has to offer - What's the point in abandoning the device for a lesser one? Especially over some silly recall, that probably could have been avoided had these people used the proper, quality, cables to charge the device in the first place.
I'm curious to know what other device(s) you're considering in it's place?

I was seriously looking into the v20. It's not as nice looking but the phone will most likely be rooted, good cameras, audio, interchangeable battery, IR blaster, can actually use a tempered glass screen protector, hopefully not as much lag as the note 7. Anyone else considering it??
So... I played a bit with a Note 8 at a Samsung Centre and compared it to the S8 and my current Note4. Here is what I found out:
The interface was extremely fluid on the S8. On the Note, not so much. I wonder if that's due to a possible preliminary software version, but it didn't look good. Small stuttering all over the place.
If you look at the (magnficent) screen, you'll see that the bottom part (with the nav buttons) is actually not used by apps, which is only natural. However, that means that the screen is only marginally larger than that of my Note 4.
The device has a solid, very pleasant feel. It's also a fingerprint magnet. Especially the black version. On the golden version it was much less visible. A case could take care of that, but then I hate cases.
I didn't get a chance to check out sound and camera quality, but from what I read the camera should the best on any smartphone. As for the loudspeaker, I don't have big expectations. After all, how good can a very small loudspeaker be?
I believe I'll wait for the reviews to decide, although, knowing me, I'll wait for about 5 minutes.
I am very interested to hear similar experiences, so if you got a chance to play with the Note 8, please drop a line.
Now, if I could only explain to the wife why I need a 1,000 EUR smartphone :laugh:
I played with one at best buy this morning. Size wise it didn't feel radically bigger than my note 5.
Seemed very snappy and fast, only thing I didn't like was the lack of physical home button and capacitive buttons, but I'm sure I can get used to that. Just used to tapping the back button.
All in all seems like a hell of a device, glad I ordered one and can't wait to get it!

Do you think if you did not have to return your Note 7 that you would have bought the s8+ ? i can't help but think the s8 did so well because there was a lack of Note presence, Personally i caved in a few months before the s8 was released and bought an S7 Edge. But i definitely would of purchased a Note 7 instead if it was possible...
I tried this at CPW - it wasn't connected to wifi but was in demo mode. It was a dog and stuttered really badly. I appreciate this may be an early FW release but really in demo mode you'd expect high performance to stop this .
My Note FE is smooth as silk and I've yet to find a reason to order the 8.

Same thing happen with the note 7 peview. The store demos lag a bit abd show a ton of scratches.
But when i got mines in hand it was great.
Then the s8+ didnt use the whole screen out the box. But after adjusting some settings it can hide the bav and use the whole screen.
So i know the sane will be true here.
I got the phone perorder because i love the note line. And miss the note 7. I dont think the phone will be worlds apart from the s8+ (which i currently have), but i think its still a nice upgrade and i get my spen back.
Speaking of that i wonder if the note 7 spen will work. I got about 4 of them lol..
I did have a solid hour or so with the device at Samsung 837 building while I was in NY. I had the chance to get attend the unpacked event. I talked to a few rep's that were there. They said those devices on display are pre-production units and will not get updates. They will be pulled when when productions units ship. So any lag you felt is do to pre-production software. The hardware will be the same. The camera is great. I got to test the live focus and other things. Lot's of ppl saying say this device is a S8+ with an S-pen, which it's not. There is some good reviews out there already to help you decide. I knew I was going to get it even before I saw it. I miss the note series and only reason I am on the S8+ now is because I HAD to turn my Note 7 in.

Since you are based in Europe, can we assume you have the Exynos version and not the snapdragon??? could that be the reason the members that they tried it here in the US (snapdragon) where much fluid.

That may be the case (although you can buy the Snapdragon version here as well). However, there was a benchmark quoted on this forum whose result was that the two processors have similar performance.
