Please help with purchasing dual sim phone with sd card capability

[LiengLiengZA]

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

Samsung Galaxy J2 Dual Sim [I think it is a bit less powerful than P8 Lite]

Alternatively, consider a Xiaomi Redmi 4A. This devices do not meet your requirement above, i.e. dual sim, or 1 sim and a micro SD, but has 32GB of built in memory.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro (older phone) meets your requirement, but may not be as powerful as the P8 Lite.

Yeah if you can get a Redmi note 2. They are eol though

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.

Was also looking at Redmi Note 2

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

 

[Sumen]

Yes there are major differences

The Only place you will find is Makro, it's best to purchase it from their online store as there's no guarantee that you will get one if you go into the store. https://www.makro.co.za/computing-and-mobile/xiaomi-/br-redmi-note-2-16gb-grey-313966EA

Problem with these models from I've read is that one can use 1 sim and other slot for either sim or sd card.

I want to two seperate sim slots and a separate sd card slot.

Question,should I stay away from Doogee X6 MAX?

 

[Sumen]

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.

Thanks just weighing in options at the moment.

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.
