I'm in the UK. I have a Galaxy Note 10 plus that I bought recently. Unfortunately, I hadn't bothered to check if it's a dual SIM phone. Turns out, is isn't. :-/
However, I'm now seeing quite a few galaxy Note 10 plus for sale on eBay that are being advertised as dual SIM. I messaged a few of the sellers and they confirmed that it's dual SIM.
Does anyone know if this phone is being produced as a dual SIM phone in markets outside the UK? If so, would it be possible to use those phones in the UK network?

It will work if it's a gsm model or exynos processor.

only the 4G version is dual SIM, in the UK if you purchased/wanted 5G it is only ever a single SIM due to the 5G modem. so really it was a choice between dual SIM but 4G or having 5G.
I was in a way disappointed by the single SIM but it was only because after I got it I was transfering networks, but in the end I would rather 5G than the second SIM slot.

I would like to buy the Indian version of dual sim variant Note 7 ,what exactly are the differences between dual sim version and USA Att version ?
Does the dual sim version supports Samsung pay and other network features just like the ATT version?
Does it support Dual GSM ? will it support ATT and Verizon simultaneously ?
Thanks Guys appreciate your response.
Can't answer all of your questions but as far as I know:
Dual sim versions allow 2 sims (think 2 carriers/phone #'s) at once.
Single sim version only one sim 1 phone#.
All Sim version phones are GSM but not all versions have all frequencies.
for instance the 930F is missing one or 2 frequencies that AT&T uses. Also it's missing VoLte. It's would still be usable in most areas but there will be spots that service might suffer.
As for Verizon not sure if they even use sim cards at all. so can't answer.

Hey I see that you can use a dual SIM card tray... Where do you get them from ?
Thank you
Edit I have 5g version if that matters
Update - I have UK on ee 5g pro but SIM tray will only take one SIM it's not double sided.
i bought one from ebay
just search for oneplus 7 pro sim tray
I don't think the 5g model will take 2 sims. (Noticed your 2nd post so you presumably already know this )
I don't know if the 5g is dual SIM how can I find out? It has no settings in UI for a 2nd SIM
Anyone know if the 5g version is dual SIM... Two different people say two different things.
Regards
has anyone checked this out for the 5G version yet? might just order one and try it.
The 5G model can do dual-SIM, but you will lose 5G. You literally would have to flash it do a different firmware to achieve this or hope for someone to create a ROM with the 5G firmware that enables dual-SIM. The hardware is capable of dual-SIM, it's just disabled in the 5G firmware.

As the title states, does the US variant of the Note 10+ have dual SIM capabilities? I've tried searching and checking Samsung's website but nothing stated.

It would be great if that were the case, but I suspect as always, the Exynos versions will be Duos. That's great unless you're on Verizon or Sprint. And in the case of that latter, I feel sorry for (Sprint users!).
I confirmed with Samsung's online chat that the unlocked US version is dual sim.

They have been wrong about this before. But I will be optimistic as I'm a glass half full guy.
If it has dual sim, true dual sim capability, the sticker on the box will have two IMEIs.
Dual SIM is nice, been using that feature for a while and I like how my XS Max can support Verizon and TMO at the same time. I'd rather have a dual sim tray than the e-sim to avoid a 611 call to change, but it's better than carrying two phones, etc.

That's Samsung global, which is the wrong place to check. Also... "Availability of dual SIM may vary depending on country or carrier."
There U1 N10s have 1 IMEI, which means single SIM. Someone I know with the device says it only accepts 1.
Just got confirmed that the US unlocked model from samsung is NOT dual sim. Sweet jesus, what is with cell manufacturers not releasing dual sim in the us?
I am fairly sure it is a regulation thing here. I forget the specifics though.

Get the Exynos, it will be dual sim.
If you're on VZW or Sprint, however, it's not going to work.

iPhone XS and XS Max are single (physical) SIM with esim capability. The Chinese version has a dual sim tray, however.

Got to play with a note 10 + today. Not sure which model it was but was in the hands of a rep. It's dual SIM with dual imeis.
One of the sim trays doubles as sd card slot.
But the demo my store has is not dual SIM.

Can confirm
What is the model number of the dual sim variant?
Also do features on those International phones such as Samsung Pay/etc. work in the US
Really wish there was a way to activate dual sim in the US one, i suspect hardware is the same and if the dual sim tray can fit - then it would all be software based.
just a guess and hope

Samsung pay may work depending on which market your unlocked phone was designed for.
See this deal here, brand new N10/10+ great prices. Those are, I think, China/HK dual sim Snapdragon phones, should work well in the US on Tmo bands.

I'm having trouble finding out what type of dual SIM technology the 7T uses. Is it DSFA of DSDS? Will either one allow me to take a call from two different carriers at any time? FYI I'll be using Verizon and AT&T.
OP has always 'only' DSDS. So you can only make one call with one card at the same time.
The other card is disabled during this call.
Thank you for the info. If I am currently not on a phone call, the phone being idle, are both Sims able to receive a call at anytime?
yes, of course.

Dual SIM technology? I'm on the T-Mobile variant. I'm confused.

DSDS = Dual sim, dual standby, where you have two sims from two different carriers. When one SIM is active on a call the second goes idle. DSFA = Dual sim full standby, even if one sim is active on a call the other continues to function, although I am not certain of the mechanics of how a user handles two calls at once.
These are very popular with frequent international travelers, or when someone has a company phone and a personal phone but doesn't want to carry two devices. They really haven't caught on in the US because carriers for the most part have similar coverage and don't sell them. The carriers don't want their customers to be customers of other carriers too.
Imagine living in Belgium but frequently traveling to the UK and needing to use a mobile phone in both places. The roaming fees and long distance charges would be outrageous. With a dual sim phone a user could have a Belgium sim card and a UK sim card and be able to use the appropriate sim as needed without having to place the wear and tear on the phone doing sim swaps.
I have tried to find a dual sim phone which functions well in the US. I have a dual sim S9 from the UAE market, but for some reason the data is very slow compared to a single sim S9 for the US market. I also tried a Sonim XP8 which worked well enough until the phone figured out it was in the US and disabled the second sim slot. Apparently Sonim does not want the XP8 to function as a dual sim phone in the US.
T-Mobile has disabled the second sim card slot in the 7t, for whatever reason. I have a 7t coming from direct from the manufacturer and I am excited to see how well it works as a dual sim phone. I have a line on TMO and a line on AT&T, and I don't want to carry two devices if I don't have to.

This has been done on other model phones and should be the same with this one. It was the same price point for me so I just cut TMO out of the deal. Just be careful flashing other firmware, if you are a TMO customer you wouldn't want to loose Band 71.
I need a dual sim device but all of them seem to miss band 30 which is important on ATT. Some of the dual sim are 4G only. Some also have 5G but does anyone know if those 5G bands are the same as the 5G that ATT uses? If so, which exact model?

I am not sure which version support AT&T 5G but from this website(if the information correct) https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-model-number-sm-g980-g981-differences/
Hongkong/Taiwan/[China] - Snapdragon support the same network as US model.
There are 2 dual SIM version.
1. International - Asia + Middle east
2. Hongkong/Taiwan/[China]
if you buy the phone from oversea eSIM might be disabled so many people are having this issue.
But why you need dual SIM when you can get eSIM if you buy US version.

after some research I think the SM-G9880 is the same as the US device but dual sim. Im not certain as there appears different information out there, but it would be great if someone who has one and is using it in the US on ATT could confirm if it gets US 5G

Being on lockdown due to corona virus, I'm getting lazy.
Go Google all the frequencies AT&T operates on.
Go Google all the frequencies the variants of s20 you are interested in.
If all the frequencies uses by AT&T is supported then it's fine.
Sorry, I'm getting lazy from working from home..

No US Galaxy devices support eSim. The main US service providers have squashed it. Only iPhone and a couple of other devices can activate eSim in the US.
