Unfortunately I did not capture that bit of information. I took pictures of "about" and "extras...advanced" which seems to be equivalent to Extras and Info.Is that a 32GB version?

Aside from being able to use a second SIM the only difference I see besides the reported LTE speeds is that the dual SIM also has 'LTE band 17'.
I personally don't see a use for the dual SIM as I always pull my current SIM out when I travel (except to the States) in fear of outrageous roaming charges. Hopefully the Canadian store stocks the single SIM.
Also someone mentioned that both SIM cards will be shown top-left. I'd be bothered by that.
I suppose that would be a good use of a second SIM for personal use.I use two SIMs on a daily basis. I have T-Mobile and AT&T. There are a lot of areas that one works, but not the other. I live in Southern California in a major metro area, definitely not the middle of no where!
Is SIM2 hot-swappable?
Any thoughts on US availability of the Dual SIM variant of the 950 XL (and 950)?
The 950 XL Dual SIM web page from Microsoft is a Middle East/Africa source: Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM Specifications - Microsoft - Middle East and Africa
No sign of it on the US version, and no mention in the Microsoft Store, just the single SIM versions.
I do wish Microsoft would just sell the things unlocked in their stores, all models, and be done with it. I'm tired of carrier deals and variants not being easy if even possible to locate a source one can buy them from. It shouldn't be this difficult to buy a product. I'm tired of bands being locked out for some reason or another, even when the phone is capable of it. I'm tired of little carrier logos popping up everywhere and being on my device. I'm tired of not even being able to identify specific variants by the exact model number and knowing 100% for certain what each has that others may not. Fortunately the radios seem to be standardizing on wider support rather than so many unique individual models with different subsets of bands so it's less and less an issue, but is it really so hard to make the information easily available?
Just an extra bit of info to add:
Compared the listing of the phones (dual sim version) of the US and Indian sites. The only difference was this:
Contents in the box: Headset in the Indian version while the US version did not have it.
US: Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM Specifications - Microsoft - Global
India: Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM - Microsoft - India
Does anyone know how WhatsApp behaves in a Dual Sim World?
Yeah I use WhatsApp. You can only assign the app to one phone number. Great news is that when that SIM has no signal, WhatsApp of course still works using any data connection, data from the working SIM, WiFi, etc.
