Samsung restrained from making DuoS in India

The Madras High Court Monday restrained mobile phone manufacturers Samsung, Mirc Electronics and Spice Mobile and several retailers from manufacturing and selling multiple SIM holding mobile phones.

This is the first step made by Ramkumar, a 36-year-old electronics engineer, who holds the Indian patent for plurality of SIM cards in a single mobile handset as well as plurality of bluetooth devices in headphone and earphone jacks.

The case was supposed to be taken for hearing April 13. I've got no more news about that.

What's a Dual SIM Phone?

Dual SIM phones allow both SIMs to be active simultaneously: calls can be received on either number, unlike adapters that make one or other number active as required.

Dual-SIM operation allows the use of two services without the need to carry two phones at the same time. For example, the same handset can be used for business and private use with separate numbers and bills; or for travel, with an additional SIM for the country visited.

Although battery life (talk time and standby time) of dual-SIM phones is reduced, typically by about a third, when both SIMs are active, to compensate this they often came with better capacity batteries, or in the case of Chinese-made phones, bundle their units with two batteries, compared to single-SIM phones.
