Yes - can confirm that it is.

(The 2nd slot doubles as the sim and SD slot - you can use either.)

thanks, thought telkom would block the second sim card slot using firmware like vodacom does with the p8 lite. so it has 2 imei numbers on the box?

Yup. Used mine with a Telkom and a CellC sim as a test, and both fired up. There's even a dual-sim menu to select your primary data sim, and also which sim is used to make calls.

I recall reading that the device does not support simultaneous use - probably only has 1 physical radio that is shared between the two sims. So you cannot e.g. conference call between networks.

But, 2 IMEI numbers - for sure. The sticker on the back of the device (and on the box) list both IMEI numbers.

PS: This is an awesome little phone. Only gripe is that it has a tendency to kill fitness apps randomly. I've lost a few runs where it just died halfway through. But sure I'll get to the bottom of that still - seems to be a general Huawei issue.
