Quad-SIM (4 in 1)
Wonder how we will handle the examination of this beast? Which profile will need to be read first? Will the handset have different profiles? Will each SIM have its own password?
The SC6600L6 allows four GSM SIM cards simultaneously running on standby mode with only one set of baseband and RF. It integrates a processor engine and controller for supporting quadruple SIM cards and has an improved graphic user interface for Quad-SIM. The product supports different multi-SIM options, including dual SIM, triple SIM, and Quad-SIM in a single set of baseband and RF chip, provides more choices to handset designers and meets need of users from different regions.

The new SIM is called M2M SIM and looks like this
Which is said to be a 3FF design and is quite different when compared to its predecessors, the commonly seen SIM and UICC.
