Can anyone recommend a good Dual-Sim Android phone with Removable Battery?

It's just over R2k at Takealot. Trick is finding a spare battery.

Ah, that's not a bad price then.

I'm starting to lean towards the Xiaomi Note 2. Thing is: I want to be able to have a second battery that I can swop out. Zero to full in seconds, not hours.
And with a bit of luck, maybe I can 3v3n get a ZeroLemon extended battery, maybe 9000mah or so. I'm just so sick of being tethered to a charger, and I tend to keep my phone for longer than 2 years. The battery always goes bad before then.

I used the Note 3 and it had an amazing battery life, the Note 4 is even better, you don't need a removable battery if you get one of those. The note 2 has horrible battery life akin to the LG G4.
You'll get two days out of the Note 4 with moderate use.

You could also get the Moto Z from loot for R5500, according to the model number it's dual sim but it's good to double check with them. You can also snap on one of power pack mods

Doogee :erm:

Unknown name, not sure what quality and support will be like...

Doogee have great phones and the build is superb. I've been buying them for while now. Support is available if you by from local retailers, but these phones are relatively cheap compared to "named" brands, and mine seldom stay with me for more than 8-12 months before I get me a nice shiny new phone.

More and more phones are coming out with non-removable batteries. It is difficult to get an original battery shipped internationally due to airline restrictions and local no-names are not the best quality. Most newer phones should give you a whole day and a bit on a single charge unless you are gaming and watching a lot of video. Continuous charging and draining of the battery will shorten its life a bit. At 12 months my Doogee phones have lost little to no battery capacity. After 18 - 24 months you do start to notice a decline. But I have yet to have one have serious battery problems at 24 months, but then mine are already in retirement by 18 months and only kept as spares.

As far as the dual sims and sd slots, unfortunately the Chinese phones are going the way of the named brands. i.e. 2 sim slots but no dedicated sd slot. The good news is that they are upping the RAM and onboard storage. I have the Doogee Mix 6/64Gb running Android 7. I have yet to get passed 3.5Gb. With all that RAM you are unlikely to need to move apps to the internal storage. 32 or 64 Gb? depends on how you use your phone. if you take a lot of pics during your day or have media stored on the device, you may battle a bit unless you use single sim + sd card. Most support 128Gb cards and some 256Gb.

Interesting. I'll have a look at that Doogee.

I think I may have found a sweet spot where I'm willing to give up the removable battery with the Lenovo P2.

Same specs and price as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, but with a 5100mah battery.

OnePlus 3T and the OnePlus 5

Got a OnePlus 3T recently, and I am so impressed. Damn, fast phone, battery also lasts well
