My phone box says it's the DS model (Exynos) but my phone in phone info does not have the DS inside and CPU-Info reports it as Snapdragon.
Was my phone replaced inside the box with another one? IMEI' do match with that of the box
DS means Dual sim
S906E is Exynos indeed
Edit. E is maybe not Exynos in this model. I don't know
I have the same model SM-906E snapdragon and it is dual sim (the second sim is Esim)
DS is dual sim, not Exynos.
S22 E models are Snapdragon.
You're all good, enjoy.

How many dual sim versions of the V10 are there? H921N, H962?
All the dual sim versions have 2 sim slots and a 3rd slot for a SD card correct?
Also does the V10 dual sim version have a IR blaster built in?
I googled for information and photos but all I could find was info on the USA single sim model.
H921N owner here, yes, it has the two sim slots and the sd card one. And yes, mine has an IR blaster.
H962: 2 sim and 1 sd card slots, check. Ir blaster, check
Thank you for the replies. Anyone know which one of the dual sim model works in Colombia SA?
Here you can check it for Colombia:

The problem with Colombia is that some phones are just not approved to be put on there networks even if it supports the frequency range. My brother purchased a dual sim phone that had the supported hardware to run on the frequencies in Colombia but when he went to activate he was told that particular make and model could not be used in Colombia.
I know the V10 is sold in Colombia on Exito.com webite and it is the LGH960A model but I can not find any information on if it has dual sims or not.
I have a dualism snapdragon S9+ - can I flash the tmobile USA firmware on that device using ODIN or will it break it?
just curious, G9650 is supposed to be the dual sim SD variant for HK/China that has the larger storage options. How did you end up with one from Caribbean?
I have the same question.
At first, both of them have exactly the same hardware except for the dual sim card on G9650.
At second when I had the galaxy s7 dual sim, I installed many firmwares from single sim and it worked perfect.
Well, lets wait for someone to tell us for sure.

Samsung only manufactures smartphones in Vietnam, China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Korea. The SM-G9650 is manufactured in China and Brazil, both Snapdragon chipsets. Likely brought it in the Caribbean but made in Brazil.
The Caribbean is part of Latin American market. Latin America and China officially got these handsets, as it was confirmed that Latin America was also getting the Snapdragon processor and not the international Exynos. So it is officially released for the Caribbean market as well.
Well title says it all.. Duos model is almost 100 euros cheaper so are there any differences with S9+?
Are they only rom related or do they have differences in h/w as well? And why is it cheaper anyway?
Thanks in advance for your replies

One is dual sim, while the second isnt. Simple as that.
I believe duos is EX, and the non could potentially be SD.
I think it is:
1 sim = S9+
2 sims = S9+ Duos (also known as Hybrid but has Duos on the back of the device).
I might be wrong. I normally am according to the better half!

i am also wondering with this duo version though mine is duos, i thought the hybrid sim is standard since years ago for flagship phones but seems with these 2 variant it isn't. i thought at first with this duos variant have 3 slots: 2 sim 1 mSD but seems its just another hybrid one *sigh*
The duos as long as it's the exynos version with the same product code (G965FD) will run any official G965F firmwarw fine. I got one from Hong Kong and flashed the UK three firmware and now I get volte and WiFi calling. It was over £200 cheaper than Samsung UK!!!

Thanks this is what I was looking for to hear. Not having the same firmware model as the world one would be a no go since f/w updates would be different.

S9/S9+ Duos is a Hybrid Dual SIM device based on Samsung Exynos 9810 platform.
S9/S9+ Regular (non-Duos) is a Single SIM + SD Slot device based on either Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 OR Samsung Exynos 9810 platform; it depends upon the model number.
I could find all model numbers here with a quick google search; I am not sure if this information is absolutely correct though.

The 2nd slot (hybrid one) accepts only SD cards on non-duos models.
Samsung might not be using "Duos" branding in all market where it sells Dual SIM variants.
For eg. European dual SIM variants are branded Duos but Indian dual SIM variants are simply called "Samsung Galaxy S9 Dual SIM".

For anyone who are interested the Hong Kong version is dual SIM only with Qualcomm CPU and the sim2 slot can be used as SD card slot
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/smartphones/galaxy-s9/spec/
The model name and number are different and I have been using the S9+ 128gb version SM-G9650/DS
Hong Kong version is hybrid dual SIM with SD 845.
Other versions sold here are parallel imports.

thank you for this info. I have been reading here
someone saying that "one has single sim has two sims. it is simple as that"
No it is not so simple.
He failed to provide this useful info YOU gave and which makes it a dealbreaker. Because i want to buy a dual sim which also has an sd card slot available
(non hybrid).
This changes all. I have put for sale my single sim s8 plus in order to buy a dual sim s9plus.
Now i will keep my s8plus and continuew using my good old s3 for my work phone.

Sorry to be that guy, but this is wrong.
I have a Duos s9+ running on a Snapdragon 845. (G9650/Argentina so Chinese Snapdragon, OEM Unlock and Root capable. YAY) It is, as you said, a hybrid tray, so will accept either two sims, or one sim and an SD card.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the processor.
for HK version , I think it has one difference, one's slot can support SD cards.
I am thinking of getting an S21 from AT&T because of the deal they have right now, but I don't like AT&T bloatware. I'm a noob when it comes to phone firmware and such, so I'm not sure what is or isn't possible.
My understanding is as follows:
Carrier unlock is possible via AT&T website to use other carrier SIM cards.
Bootloader unlock is not possible on AT&T devices (starting at V2 seemingly?).
I'm just not clear if you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the stock S21 ROM on an AT&T device. If not needed, what is the point of unlocking the bootloader, just for root?
Any clarity is appreciated.
You can use "patched ODIN" to do flash "U1" firmware, which removes bloatware.
Not sure about the bootloader, I think you're correct on that.
I flashed an Xfinity Mobile S21 (carrier unlocked by them) to U1 but so far the phone is refusing to use the proper carrier settings for VoWIFI (I have a VZW sim in it now). It worked for 1-2 weeks previously. Everything else seems to work properly including VoLTE.
I'll probably switch back to Xfnity Mobile to get VoWIFI working again.
Thanks for the response.
can I ask something related? I got my Samsung S21 from Amazon unlocked and I'm in International market. the phone has esim capability but it's locked up. my question is (can) I flash international firmware or let's say the one being sold in the middle east? I'm stuck with single sim which is pretty annoying. what do you guys recommend

My understanding is that the international firmware is not compatible with the US phones because the US version uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, whereas the international phones use the Exynos chip. I think you're stick with single SIM, unfortunately.

the snapdragon version is only sold in the US solely?
"International and Korea models of the S21 utilize the Exynos system-on-chip, while the U.S., Canadian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong and Japanese models utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888."

so flashing the HK to the US G991U1 model applicable? I need to activate eSIM to get dual sim working. also volte doesn't work for me at all.
Hello , can I ask a related question, I've an unlocked s21 5g with the Three carriers SM-G991B .. Can I install the global version ??
Can someone please confirm if Galaxy S21 SM-G991N (Korea version) support dual sim via an esim option.
Reason being , i can get a used s21 for very cheap compared to other models but dual sim is really necessary for me...
I think it comes with singal sim and dual sim both versions. If you can get Dual SIM phone, it should be supported eSIM.
I have not come across any korean model stated as dual sim . But , i've read several articles saying s21 got esim enabled after Android 12 update. I myself am using an S21 ultra (Us version) which got dual sim enabled after android 12 update.
That's the reason i just wanted to confirm if the korean version also support dual sim after the android 12 udpate.
I also want to know it
I got the s21 korean version 2 days ago. It doesn't seem to support an esim. Please do you know if there are Korean versions that do?
Also mine is on android 13
