Hi all,

Seeing as I got screwed over with my P8 Lite by MTN that is saying they don 't sell or do dual sim phone contracts,

Can you guys recommend a phone with almost the same specs as P8 Lite but that has 2 seperate slots for sim cards and another seperate slot for sd card please?


Price range is R2000.


I would appreciate it a lot.


Thanks

My plan being as follows:

Want to use my MTN number in SIM slot 1 for voice calls and use Telkom number in SIM slot 2 for data seeing as the Telkom SIM is the integrated one with 1GB data per month that I got with my HomeUnlimited deal.

And the obviously the seperate SD card slot for my external storage.

Look at the Cubot Echo and Manito, they both have similar specs to the Huawei only difference is that the processor is quad instead of Octa

May someone help me please..is there a differnce between Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro 16GB LTE and Xiaomi Redmi Note 2?

And if so where can I go check and where can I find stock for Note 2 cause From What I've read the Note 2 is the more powerful phone between the 2.

Thanks

There's nothing wrong with the Doogee X6 Max but you wanted a comparable phone to the P8 lite and this doesn't even come close.

Unfortunately the Chinese phones are going across to a shared SIM2 slot, but the good news is that they are coming out with 4 /64Gb and 6/64Gb (also some 6/128Gb). So basically you may never need to install apps on an SD card.

Doogee make good, strong phones. My wife's previous phone was the X5Max Pro. It's in a drawer now as a spare but worked great. I've been using Doogee phones for the last few years and love them (price, specs and build quality). The only "down" side is they tend to be a bit "heavy", but that's the price for a strong body.
