Recommend a new Android phone

[atomcrusher]

I need a new phone .. My current phone is some unknown Chinese make called ZUKA. It was bought by a mate of mine on a trip to Hong Kong.

It came with 2 x 3.7 Volt Li-ion, 4800 mAh / 17.76 Wh batteries, but both have just about died over the past year of use. I have not been able to source new batteries for the phone in SA

I am looking to buy (cash/credit card) a new pre-paid phone with this as a minimum:

* Android OS higher version than my current phone which has Android 4.4.1
* 5" screen minimum (my eyes are 65 years old!)
* front & rear camera - does not need to be top-end quality camera. Front camera just used for Skype .. very occasionally
* Must be able to support dual SIM (i.e. 2 x Micro SIM)
* Must have a SD card slot for extra storage capacity. Say at least a 32GB SD card

Samsung phones are out of my price range I would not want to spend more than say R3,000 - R3,500

...Or am I living in a dream world?

I have a Huawei P8 Lite that fits your requirements with one exception. The second sim card and the sd card reader share a slot so you have to chose one or the other.

So far I have not needed the second sim so it does not bother me.

Xiaomi mi 4. It's R3600 at Dion right now. Great phone

 

[Crossing_Swords]

Oh, no SD card though

The Galaxy J5 is pretty decent and about R3000, though for that price you can get the Xiaomi Note 2.

Thanks for all the suggestions .. I'll go through them all and see if I can find one which meets my requirements, and is reasonably priced
