Usually Samsung make for its flagship devices another variant and add duos (dual-SIM) to the name, but the problem with Samsung phones is that they don't have a multi-user mode (guest mode) so you can't install dual apps for both SIMs like Whatsapp, Telegram and so on.

yes
the micro SD card slot can work as a slot for another Sim
so you either put dual Sim in it or one simple and one micro SD card

I looked it up typc c does support qualcomm quick charge(https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge/faq) but samsung uses there own type of quick charge for exynos so maybe usb type c doesn't support exynos quick charge or whatever sammy calls it.

They wanted compatibility for the Gear VR as well. Type C is pointless if not USB3.1 anyway as Samsungs micro USB is faster than all competitors with Type C.

So which other Android phone has Force touch and what do you need it for? It's a useless gimmick and you're obviously just an Apple troll.

*Evaporative cooling, using heat pipes
Liquid cooling is different
But MS/Samsung market as "liquid cooling" since its sounds better for average users

First phone with liquid cooling technology? That's cool. 3000 mah battery? That's awesome. Just a full review and I'll buy this.

Meh, I expect samsung to throw promotional stuff around with their capital. While the specs are decent, it hardly beats all others hands down or is that exciting at all.

It may not contain a removable battery, but Samsung did listen to those who complained about an SD card and lack of water/dust resistance.
It's not the perfect phone you may have wished for, however, improvements are being made incrementally.
They delivered on some features and you should be thankful for that.
