Samsung is the only major phone maker that takes dual SIM handset production seriously – the South Korean company is constantly releasing dual SIM phones, the latest being the Duos 259 (launched in India).
This year, however, global sales of dual SIM phones are expected to double according to Strategy Analytics – and lots of other companies will have new dual SIM devices, including Nokia, which should launch them as soon as the second quarter of the year in markets like China and Russia.
Several chip manufacturers, like Infineon, MediaTek and Qualcomm, are already making platforms for dual SIM handsets.
Had your eye on the Nokia X6? Well, the handset manufacturer has pulled a Google and will sell the device through the Internet, completely unlocked. However, before you get excited make note that without any carrier subsidizations the price is going to be quite high; $455.
If you’re still down after that, head to the preorder page, here.
