Hello,

Thank you for your answer. So, do I get it correct then, that not every Dual-Sim doubles the radiation? namely — Dual-Standby doesn’t double radiation?
My understanding is following:
Active Dual-Sim is effectively two phones into one — two transceivers/antennas with two disparate sim-card chips and respectively — two phones working in a one plastic/metal case. How things are working if there is one transceiver? according to the specifications I’ve read, Dual-Standby phones have only one transceiver, which means, that one antenna is distributing and receiving the signal. Is it still emitting double radiation?

Interesting point I don’t have an answer on are:
1. Specification says, that even Dual-Standby can receive calls at the any given moment on any of those sim-card numbers, which means, that effectively, you have both sim-cards active. The only exception is, that if you’re talking/surfing with one sim-card, then you cannot get any call on another sim-card, it gets unreachable.

My assumption, and what I’d think is, that pings messages are broadcasted from both sim-cards through one physical device (transceiver) and that’s how both are online and available, and as ping is not an intense/fully-fledged communication, transceiver can handle this.. but the moment call gets activated, something kind of multiplex transmission is not possible anymore, and another sim-card gets unreachable/offline.

Could you please elaborate on this a bit more and shed some more light? I’m quite picky about these points and want to make a final decision to buy a new mobile phone. It’s been a while I’m researching this and there is kind of fuzz and ambiguity around this topic.

Thank you in advance,

Giorgi
