Question DUAL SIM DUAL ACTIVE (DUAL TRANSCEIVERS/DUAL ANTENNA)

[lankamcdj]

Hi All,

I've been looking for a DSDA (Dual Sim Dual Active) device for sometime, and I bought Xiaomi 13T Pro which supports dual sim. But unfortunately i've found that this device doesn't support this feature. Because for DSDA feature you need to have 2 transceivers/2 antennas (Basically 2 individual connections in 1 device).
The questions/doubts are as shown below.
1. Are there any alternate way to fix Xiaomi 13T pro as DSDA.
2. How do i find a device which supports DSDA Hardware or is there any list of supported devices.

Thanks

As far as I am aware, it's not a thing. I've only ever used phones that have dual SIM dual standby.



If you don't mind me asking, why do you want this? What is your use case?

Thanks for the reply mate. The reason i need this is because, i dont want to carry 2 phones with me. DSDA is an awesome feature.

I mean why isn't Dual SIM Dual Standby good enough?

DSFA is an interesting feature, but to be awesome it would have to be useful to more than 0.0001% of users or not make the phone significantly more expensive.

If you really wanna find a device that can do this, Try searching for "Dual SIM Full Active" instead..

It looks like Dual SIM Dual Active was abandoned by Android manufacturers years ago, probably because of the challenges it caused for battery life -- I'm not sure when this article was written, but it sounds like some time in 2018 or so, when no DSDA phones had been released for a few years: https://gadgetguideonline.com/andro...m-android-phones-dual-standby-vs-dual-active/

However, they might be coming back, since Qualcomm has made it possible again on recent Snapdragon SoCs: https://www.digit.in/features/mobil...-heres-everything-you-need-to-know-67512.html
