A few years ago, the first phones with dual SIM connections arrived. Until then we only have a phone number on our deviceand dual SIM allowed receiving calls on either of the two phone numbers of both SIMs at any time.

Of course, when we receive a call from SIM 1, SIM 2 remains. completely empty until you end the call. This limited use of dual SIM will soon come to an end thanks to Xiaomi’s implementation of DSDA technology, which will replace traditional DSDS.

Use both SIM cards simultaneously

DSDS (Dual SIM Dual Standby) technology, using two SIM cards connected at the same time on a single device. If you have inserted two SIM cards with two phone numbers, add one and receive calls, messages and use data interchangeably with anyone.

Xiaomi wants us to be able to use its dual SIM phones more fully, and DSDA (Dual Sim Dual Active) technology will be tasked with giving us this honor. This technology allows the SIM in use does not interfere with the operation of the second SIMso we can receive messages and calls from the other card during a call.

Just like the eSIM connection, which requires a chip in the mobile phone to work, the DSDA connection also requires hardware, and Xiaomi has announced that will include in your next devicesbut we don’t know if it will be reserved only for the top tier ones.

Currently, the vast majority of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices have a slots with two SIM capacityand even Xiaomi 12T Pro equips eSIM connection, but it is the duty of the operators to enable such a connection..

Not knowing when and above all on what devices we can use this technology at Xiaomi, most likely We have a few more months before taking advantage of DSDA technology on either of our two SIMs.
