The Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI), which includes Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India, Idea Cellular, and reliance Jio Infocomm, has stated that there was a problem with the 4G-enabled, dual-SIM smartphones using MediaTek’s chipset — and that the flow of data in the primary 4G LTE-only SIM was placed in the second slot, meant for 2G SIMs.
Placing a 4G LTE-only SIM in the second slot “significantly deteriorates the throughput of any other operator’s 4G SIM present in the main slot by as much as 40 per cent,” the COAI said in the letter.
It was however stated that there would be no such impact if a 4G LTE-only SIM was put in the first slot and a 4G SIM was in the second slot. MediaTek, the Taiwan-based chipset manufacturer, acknowledged that there were recent reports of technical glitches in handsets and said the company is treating the issue with utmost priority.
