Dual SIM or not?

jjpp — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 08:54:29 GMT

Will there be a dual SIM version?

Specifications in overview (https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-xz1-compact/) say "Single SIM, Nano SIM, Dual SIM" but full specifications (https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-xz1-compact/specifications/) mention only single SIM.

I don't remember any Sony Compact model having a dual-SIM variant. perhaps someone absentmindedly copied and pasted the specs of the regular XZ1, as they're so similar?

A representative from Sony could please confirm if the XZ1 Compact will have Dual SIM or not.

Such giant like Sony should not do such mistakes:) Hope it's dual SIM

Dual SIM text has been now removed from ZX1 Compact's Overview (Sony Mobile Global-site). So that means there will be no Sony-phone for me, thank you

Are there any news about a dual sim version of the Xz1 compact?

Some online shops already list them, but I'm not sure if they are trustworthy.

*bump*

Is it that hard to tell whether there will be a dual sim version or not?

You can't find anything that would even hint excistence of XZ1 Compact Dual Sim, if you try to search information from official Sony websites, forums, Facebook etc. Unfortunately it seems that Sony's 'Compact series -> no Dual Sim version'-policy is continuing

Well, there are some websites that promote the dual SIM version:

Romanian online shop:

https://www.quickmobileshop.com/phones/mobile-phones/sony-xperia-xz1-compact-dual-sim-32gb-lte-4g-black-4gb-ram-176597

GSMChoice.com:

http://de.gsmchoice.com/de/katalog/sony/xperiaxz1compactdual/Sony-Xperia-XZ1-Compact-Dual.html

Another online shops:

Are all these information wrong? Why is there still no official statement?

There is q & a in Argos page and one answer from seller says that "they have checked this with our supplier and this is a Single SIM phone". I am afraid that those other sites are also selling "hot air". Wonda Mobile link says G8441, which is Single Sim model.

I really hope that I am wrong, but the facts are what they are at the moment.

Is there a dual sim for this phone if not will it be launched

of course it is only Single SIM, though I wish Sony would just make all its phones Real Dual SIMs and not hybrid.

The XA1 that I have is REAL dual SIM with a separate SD card slot. If only it has the horse power of the xz1c.

I hate those "hybrid dual-SIM" things... But all the manufacturers are doing them these days, either on all their smartphones or most of their smartphones.

At first I thought it might be a fad, but the trend to offer "hybrid dual-SIMs" sems to be becoming more and more popular... And it's a stupid idea.
