Android Q. A new and very important function was by the Google company today for users from all over the world, it brings an extremely important change for the phones that will be launched starting next year. More precisely, we are talking about the Dual SIM, Dual Active (DSDA) function, for which support was recently implemented in Android Q, allowing the simultaneous use of two SIM cards on a single mobile phone.
Android Q. Well, you will say that this is already possible, true, but the new technology brings a functionality that until now has not been offered by any mobile phone manufacturer, as far as I know, but this will seriously change. Specifically, starting with this new feature for Android Q, users will be able to receive phone calls and SMS on both SIM cards they have inserted into a mobile phone, something that is impossible at the moment.
Android Q revolutionizes Dual SIM technology for mobile phones
Android Q. Now it is possible to receive phone calls, or SMS, on only one of the cards used in a dual-SIM system, but those from Google want to improve this technology by extending the support to two cards. This means that users can be called simultaneously on both phone numbers of the cards they use in the phone, without fearing that the caller will receive a "busy call" tone when initiating the phone call.
A new function returns the value true if "the usage of multiple SIM cards at the same time to register on the network (eg Dual Standby or Dual Active) is supported by the device and by the carrier." In the comments of the commit that sets up the SELinux policy for this new boolean, a Googler states that the boolean "is required to differentiate 2018 Pixel (which has 2 SIM cards, but dual SIM functionality is restricted to dog feeding) from 2019 Pixel (which will have dual SIM functionality)."
Android Q. It is not known if Google would offer this support including in the phones of the Google Pixel 4 series starting this year, or if it offers the support to give other phone manufacturers the opportunity to offer this. Regardless of whether Google will implement DSDA support for dual-SIM in its phones, it is very clear that Android Q will have such functionality available, but it remains to be seen who will officially offer it first.
Android Q. The presentation of the new version of the operating system will take place sometime in May, but the launch for everyone will only take place sometime in August.
