We have come with our promises to keep you updated with latest & curious technical know-how. In this article we will discuss about very recent problem of dual sim dual standby or simply how to use both 4G Sims at a time?
Since the advent of 4G & VoLTE technology powered by inexpensive data plans by providers, people are facing a great trouble how to use 4G on both SIM cards. Even I face this issue like I have an Airtel 4G sim & a Jio 4G SIM, but when I use Airtel for internet the signal for Jio goes away. When I use Jio for data Airtel allows only calls. How to get rid of this problem? There are definitely several hacks and software that might lend you ways to do that but that's not the best practice.
Mediatek, the very SoC ( Socket on Chip) OEM (Original Equipment Maker) has launched Mediatek P23 Helio board which shall enable DSDS technology. As of now it is available in Chinese market and is soon expected to be launched in Indian market. So let's take a look at 11 reasons why to go for Mediatek Helio P23 enabled phones.
Reason 1: Awesome camera tech
The P23 has almost P30/X30-level camera tech inside. The P23 can support either 13+13MP dual cameras or a single 24MP camera, but it lacks the energy saving hardware VPU. The dual camera system does allow a flexible combination of camera types, such as mono+color sensors for low-light performance or wide+tele lenses for exciting depth-of-field effects.
Reason 2: Imagiq
Great camera hardware is nothing without good software. MediaTek's Imagiq includes technologies that minimize aliasing, grain, provide denoising (MFNR), chromatic aberration correction and motion compensation techniques, across both normal and low-light conditions to improve both photography and videography.
Reason 3: Plenty of CPU cores at ludicrous speed
The application processor part of the P23 has eight CPU cores of ARM Cortex-A53 operating at up to 2.3GHz. All the cores can be active at once, giving it tons of performance even if you’re a heavy multi-tasker.
Reason 4: Latest graphics hardware
The Mali G71 graphics core has the latest and most powerful GPU technology with a new design offering 1.5x the performance over previous generation. Operating at up to 770MHz in the P23, the ‘Bifrost’ architecture has unified shader cores, OpenCL, OpenGL ES and Vulcan API support for games and apps.
Reason 5: CorePilot 4.0
While P23 isn't tri-cluster like the X-series, it still has the advantages of the latest CorePilot 4.0 with Energy Aware Scheduling. This involves user experience (UX) monitoring and thermal management. CorePilot 4.0 monitors all the tasks between CPU and GPU areas, optimizing the power used to deliver both great performance and battery life.
Reason 6: LPDDR4x
Lots of memory bandwidth for all the above mentioned SoC hardware, but it only uses a fraction of the power of older LPDDR3.
Reason 7: Cat-7 (download) / Cat-13 (upload) 4G LTE
With speeds of up to 300/150MBit and stuff like 2x20MHz Carrier Aggregation and 64QAM, the Cat-7/13 combo is still faster than most people's home broadband, and the increased upload speed means its faster to save all your photos and videos to Cloud storage (like Google Drive, Dropbox etc) so there's no interruption when you need other apps.
Reason 8: 4G Dual SIM, Dual VoLTE
With 2G/3G services in the planning or process of being retired globally, a smartphone with two 4G LTE SIM slots is certainly a future-proof investment. Having two SIMs means you can either mix and match the best deals on data, or call and data, if you're a frequent business traveller then you can just take one phone with two numbers for both personal and business needs. 4G LTE services also mean access to VoLTE and ViLTE calls on both SIMs, which are notably faster to connect and better quality. MediaTek has always lead in DSDS (dual SIM dual standby) technologies, and is again the first to market with this dual 4G SIM solution.
Reason 9: Smart Antenna technology (TAS 2.0)
MediaTek's second generation smart antenna technology (TAS 2.0) can automatically detect and picks the best antenna in your phone, so no matter how or where you hold it, or which direction you face, TAS 2.0 will optimize the signal for quality and connection reliability. The other positive effect is reduced power use, as it means less signal boosting is required. Pretty neat!
Reason 10: 600MHz 4G LTE support
600MHz is a new 4G LTE frequency for T-Mobile in North America. This new frequency can enhance signal quality and coverage in some scenarios.
Reason 11: All this hardware for only little $.
The Helio P23 brings all this incredible hardware to affordable Android smartphones. No other Android smartphone SoC is this feature-filled, fast and power-efficient, and it doesn't cost the earth for a new phone - awesome!
I know you must be curious enough to know, what to do by the time product is shelled out. You can use a service provider which supports network in different bands that is 4G/3G/2G. I will explain you the logic by sharing one cheeky technical gyan. Jio is a 4G supportable service provider,unlike others ,it does not switch over to 3G or 2G when 4G is unavailable. But you would only be able to use call on one & data on other, contrary to data switching between them. However ,citing the way Reliance-Anil group has merged with parent group,it would be no shock to see Jio offering services in 2G & 3G band as they have well established infrastructure. But this is just a speculation.
Keep hoping for best . Keep showering your love by reading us,sharing us & giving your valuable comments.
