Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

If you have Contacts enabled on Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other in your device and they happen to have the same contacts in two or more accounts then, it will display as duplicate.

For example; if you have both iCloud Contacts and Outlook Contacts enabled in your device and you happen to have the same contacts in both the accounts then it will display as duplicate.
