As per the title, if you have the dual SIM variant does it allow use of a micro SD card as well as 2 SIMs?
Dual SIM and memory card?

It's a hybrid dual sim so you will choose a second sim or micro sd.
It can be done—search for the SIM SD hack, it was done successfully on Note 7 and earlier phones. It requires some fine hacking of both the second SIM and the SD.
I'm sure it will be attempted successfully—I'll do it once I get the phone.

I wanna try it anyway, do you have any links of where you've read they blocked it - I'd like to see how and if it can be overcome.

It works on the S8+, I think it'll be doable on the Note 8.

It can be done and should be done. Right now I have the hack installed in s8 plus HK dual sim.version, 128 gb internal 256 sd card.
It worked very well in every phone with hybrid dual sim from samsung and huawei
Just see youtube videos to understand what you have to do

does anyone tried the dual sim hack for note 8? I'm coming from s7 edge with dual sim and micro sd simultaneously. My note 8 arrived last saturday and I can say that the micro sd slot seems fit and tight compare to s7 edge. I'm afraid to break the SIM tray or it may be stuck inside so I remove the SIM on my micro sd for now.
You can try "simore sim adapter", it's unique one I used it on s7 edge, now planning to get it as soon as my note 8 will arrive
thanks for the suggestion. But I did not use and adapter on my S7 Edge. I just cut the sim contact and paste it on my sd card. I'm just afraid to do the same on my note 8 since it is a bit tight and fit compare to S7 Edge sim tray.
Some guy did it when note 7 came out, it got stuck and he couldn't remove tray.
What if this SIM but comes off, your phone will be screwed as you will likely crash it into debris trying to remove the tray

I'm trying to do it - so far no luck. The tray really seems very tight and it's not going in, seems it would get stuck - I'm gonna try scrape the card some more with a scalpel to see if it helps. Scraped off the top bump on the card - not good enough, we'll see...
seems this is the action of samsung for people doing the microsd with sim hack. Maybe someday there will be a sim card tray mod instead.
Any luck? i had a samsung A3 2017 and it worked beautifully. yes, it was tight but the youtube instructions were pretty solid. didn't have to scrape the microsd... used a very thin double sided tape
I concluded that it's impossible on the Note 8—I scraped all the plastic of on the SD card and still there was super big pressure midway through trying to force the tray in—leading me to the conclusion that the tray would get stuck inside.
Damned Samsung…

Exactly HOW do you plan to do that? Nothing to do with software but the hardware tray itself. The tray will physically only allow either one Sim and one SD card or two SIM you cannot place three in that tray there is no space to do so?

Any body else tries this on the note 8? i did the hack on my s8plus. Hoping i could just transfer it on the note 8
Like this
And it works perfectly on my note 8 as screenshot shows.
To all those afraid or interested:
1. Yes it works
2. If you are careful you will not break your phone
Best

But how did you manage it? Like I said I scraped the card—made it much thinner and still when pushing the tray in I felt significant pressure, felt it would get stuck.
Can you push the tray out from the phone? Can you post a close up picture of the cards in the tray to see how much they protrude up and down?

Also failed in my case despite considerable filing. They've definitely tightened up the slot to curb on users doing this, for some reason?? But you can buy extender adapters which are very low-profile and still likely to work I'm sure. I was very disappointed to see that they combined MicroSD and Nano sim so that only one can be exclusively used in the slot. Poor design. All 3 should be possible without any difficulty! Are we not paying for this convenience?
