Huawei: Enable Dual SIM 4G for Both Cards

If one SIM card on your Huawei dual-SIM phone keeps dropping to 3G while the other stays on 4G, the Dual SIM 4G option is likely switched off. This setting decides whether both cards can use high-speed data at the same time or only one of them. It matters if you split calls and data across two numbers and expect both to run at full speed.

Enable or Disable Dual 4G auf Huawei

On Huawei phones with two SIM cards, only one card gets full 4G speed by default in some setups, while the second card falls back to 3G or 2G. This is controlled by a single toggle in the mobile network settings, not by the SIM cards themselves or your carrier.

The setting is called Dual SIM 4G. When it is off, the phone reserves the fast network for one SIM and pushes the other to a slower connection whenever both are active. Turning it on lets both SIM cards connect via 4G at the same time, which is useful if you use one number for calls and the other for mobile data.

To change it, open SettingsMobile networkSIM management and activate or deactivate Dual SIM 4G.

Keep in mind that running both SIM cards on 4G at once increases power draw, since the modem keeps two high-speed connections alive instead of one. If your device runs warm or the battery drains faster after enabling this, switching it back off restores the single-4G behavior without disabling either SIM.

Frequently asked questions

Coverage in your area still plays a role. Dual SIM 4G removes the software limit, but if the carrier network for that SIM has weak 4G reception, the phone still falls back to 3G locally.
