Samsung Galaxy S Duos, also identified by the model number GT-S7562, is a dual SIM smartphone developed and sold by Samsung Electronics. Unlike Samsung’s other dual SIM options, this device belongs to the premium "S" lineup, positioning it within the "Galaxy S" series.
This model operates on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and incorporates Samsung's exclusive Touchwiz user interface.
In contrast to Samsung’s basic dual SIM offerings, the Galaxy S Duos supports simultaneous standby on both SIM cards, allowing it to receive calls on either SIM when not already engaged in a call. It can optionally handle two incoming calls at once, provided that divert-on-busy is enabled for each number; this feature depends on carrier support and may involve extra fees. However, a constraint of the Galaxy S Duos is that only one SIM can be active on UMTS (thus for data connectivity) at any given moment, which might limit its functionality with certain network pairings.
China
In China, China Unicom markets the Galaxy S Duos under the model number GT-S7562i, which closely resembles the global edition. Another variant, the GT-S7562C, is available as well, distinguished by the absence of a proximity sensor.
