Dual sim Android phones?

[Deleted member 720373]

Anyone ever tried one of these dual sim phones before?

I've seen them lots of times on the Chinese wholesale websites and the specs look decent on some of them. Just wondered if they were any good or if I should just stick with 2 handsets. I need a new phone anyway so just asking.

PS. I don't want the latest greatest iphone or samsung before anyone suggests them because my phones get knocked about and bashed quite a bit. My iphone 5 is bent almost completely out of shape!!!

Most of the phones in Asia are dual sim. Have used many myself never had any problem and find it better to carry a single handset.
Do get a phone from some reputed company though and not any random Chinese company.

In India, 80% smartphones being sold are the dual sim and I have many of these. They work great and I don't see any problem with the network or as such.

Definitely worth going instead of buying 2 different handsets.

Samsung originals has dual sim phones. Will not recommend the china ones.

I've been using zenfone 3 for the past couple of years and it comes with dual-sim support and works great!

They are around since like forever but the one I'm using although good has different supported signals on each Sim card slot. One sim slot supports LTE while the other only 2G, I can't say for all dual sim android phones.

I get fed up carrying 2 handsets around and regularly leave one or both sometimes in the van.

These are my thoughts as well.

The Chinese handsets appear to be higher spec for the money compared to the samsung dual sim offerings. Also Samsung is a South Korean company

Looks a decent phone, I'll check it out. Quite decent specs for the price.

I've been using a Moto G 5 Plus. Having 2 SIMs is really convenient. I was forever swapping out cards as I moved around Europe. Now I can keep one main number and a second local number.

Bought couple of days ago looks good.
4GB Ram, 64 GB Rom, 2.0 Octa-Core, 4100mah battery doing good to me

Which one do you have @MisterF

I'm trying to figure out if these lesser known brands are decent or if I should stick with a well known brand.

The cheaper Chinese brands do boast some high specs for the money.

i had one and it was working very good for me

I've ordered one for myself 8 core processor 4 gigs of ram etc for $150, let's see how good or bad it is. had a crappy little one prior to this that I randomly used lasted just over a year, not bad for $40 xD

Cheap phones are cheap phones.

I've changed 6 phones this year, had Iphone 6, galaxy 6 and 7, xioami redmi 3 and super cheap FLY smartphone.

The last two are cheap ones compared to first ones, and believe me, you can see that they r fckn cheap in every aspect of using em, from design to OS, they lag, the screen is shit, camera is shit they are not that responsible as expensive ones.

Now i've got some sort of nokia 3310 (old one) with non colored screen that holds battery for weeks

And waiting for new iphone to come out, if my wife is going to like it, i'm going to take her 6 one and get her new 8.

Otherwise my nokia 3310 is perfectly fine for me.

Go to any tech shop and try those cheap phones urself, u'll understand how lame they are.
