Phones that accept two SIM cards, commonly referred to as Dual SIM, have been around for a long time. Xiaomi is a company that strongly bet for this featureand such well-known models as the POCO X3 Pro, the POCO F4 or the top-of-the-range Xiaomi 12T Pro include this feature in their data sheet.
But what Xiaomi announced today will take this feature a step further. We salute the DSDA functionwhich will replace the current DSDS, improving a crucial aspect in the use of dual SIM.
Xiaomi will make the most of carrying two SIM cards in one phone
Currently, the technology present in Dual SIM mobiles is called DSDS (Dual SIM Dual Standby, for its acronym in English), and allows the use of two cards connected simultaneously on a phone. As we already know, we can make or receive calls or messages and use mobile data from one card or another.
but that again has a limit: when one of the two cards is active in calls, the second is deactivated, losing at this time the messages that can be sent to us.
However, that is about to change as Xiaomi wants to make using dual SIM phones even better. Here is the DSDA (Dual Sim Dual Active) technology which allows a SIM card in use not to interfere with the good functioning of the second. For example, if we are on a call, messages or calls will continue to enter the secondary card.
Yes, this technology requires a specific chip that phones must include to support it. Xiaomi’s announcement comes with confirmation that it will include it in upcoming devices. At this time, we don’t know the availability, release date, or devices that will get it.
It’s a big step forward so that mobiles can better enjoy the use of dual SIM. It is true that it is annoying that having two cards inserted, only one works in certain circumstances. It will be fixed soon, thanks to Xiaomi technology that we will test when it becomes available.
