The best inexpensive smartphones for 2 SIM cards. The best smartphones with two active SIM cards. Budget-level dual-SIM phones

We don’t remember who invented the combined slots, but there is reason to believe that the author of this horror is a Chinese company with a name starting with the letter H. some smartphones do not allow using two SIM cards and a memory card at the same time.

Manufacturers can understand: combined slots (SIM + SIM or SIM + MicroSD to choose from) are cheaper to manufacture, and they also take up less space in the case than three separate slots at once. What is important: we will save on an extra slot - we will install a slightly more capacious battery.

In general, you can understand them, but you can hardly forgive them. Because combo slots are extremely inconvenient. Especially if the device does not have 64 or 128 GB of memory, like the flagships, but only 16. Of these, 3-4 more are eaten by the system, and a user who needs two SIM cards is left with a pitiful 10-odd "gigs" ... Well, where does that go? That's right, nowhere. And so we have collected in this review several smartphones of different classes, offering just separate slots for two SIM-cards and a MicroSD flash drive.

(27 990 rubles)

A curious upper-middle-class smartphone in a glass case, with a USB Type-C port, a high-quality AMOLED screen and a good camera. Expensive, of course, in comparison with analogs, if you compare the characteristics "on paper". However, the high price is justified by some pleasant moments, for example, the presence of protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard and those separate slots. If you still want to save money, look towards the Galaxy A5 2017 - it's a little simpler and cheaper. But on the Galaxy A3 2017, if you need exactly three slots, you shouldn't look: there are two of them.

(12 990 rubles)

A mid-range device from the revived Nokia this year. Pros: of course, the right slots, as well as "" Android with guaranteed updates for several years and a nice metal case. The model does not have very bright features, but in general it is a good workhorse for those who still believe in Nokia. And yes, as an alternative, you can consider - this device is simpler in all respects, but it still has three card slots.

(12 990 rubles)

Motorola employs the right people: what's in it, what's in the arms of the G5 Plus, that the Moto E series devices use separate SIM and MicroSD slots. We included the Moto E Plus in this review, since this device also has a powerful 5000 mAh battery. The case is metal, the chipset ... But with the chipset, everything is complicated: a simpler version with the MediaTek platform is supplied to Russia, while a more powerful version with the Qualcomm chipset is supplied to some other countries. If you are visiting the USA, buy Moto E Plus there.

(16 990 rubles)

"Frameless" middle class with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, reminiscent of two flagship smartphones of the Korean company at the same time - V30 and G6. This is what makes it interesting, being otherwise a fairly simple solution. Not even an NFC chip. However, for those who want to get NFC and a larger volume random access memory(3 instead of 2 GB) there is a slightly more expensive option.

(RUB 21,990)

Previously, Sony used the correct "three-card" layout in almost all of its models, but recently the Japanese have relaxed somewhat. However, the Xperia XA1 is a pleasant exception, there are exactly three slots. The smartphone also has a 2300 mAh battery, a 23-megapixel camera, a 5-inch HD-screen and a medium-hand MediaTek chipset. But the main thing, of course, is the so-called "sony-style": Xperia design The XA1 is really different from smartphones from other manufacturers, which can often be confused with each other.

(9 990 rubles)

In recent years, Xiaomi has stubbornly followed the “SIM + SIM or SIM + MicroSD” rule, but with the Redmi Note 5A, it has made an exception. A simple version of this device is shipped to Russia, that is, without a fingerprint scanner, with medium-quality cameras and 16 GB of internal memory. But it also costs quite cheap, being one of the most affordable smartphones from the Xiaomi line.

(13 900 rubles) /

And again, a device with a 5000 mAh battery - that is, "long-playing". On the one hand, this is one of the simplest devices in the Zenfone 4 family, on the other hand, it has a lot of interesting things. Here you have the aforementioned battery, and three slots, and a dual rear camera. The principle of its operation is approximately the same as that of the LG models - one wide-angle lens, which allows you to capture large objects from a short distance.

If in work or everyday life you often have to use different cellular operators, then for convenience you need to choose a smartphone with support for two SIM cards. Today, such models are presented in a huge assortment, so users will definitely not be faced with a lack of choice. However, such a variety is unlikely to please people who do not want to study the parameters and reviews of dozens of devices, trying to choose among them the device that is optimal in terms of price, quality and capabilities. In this case, our rating of the best smartphones with 2 SIM-cards will help to make a competent purchase, in which we will present the highest quality models for today.

The best inexpensive smartphones with two SIM cards (up to 10,000 rubles)

If you use the phone primarily for calls, sending SMS, communicating in instant messengers and social networks, navigation or other simple tasks, you hardly need a powerful hardware platform, an impressive camera or a high-resolution display. All these add-ons unnecessary for communication with relatives and colleagues only increase the cost of a smartphone, but do not bring any practical benefit. A high-quality smartphone with two SIM cards that can satisfy all your needs can be purchased within 10 thousand rubles.

1.Xiaomi Redmi 4X

In the first place will be the best smartphone in terms of value for money. The Redmi 4X model is one of the best selling Xiaomi phones. The huge popularity of this device among users is explained by its excellent build, high-quality metal casing, a bright display with HD resolution and a diagonal of 5 inches, as well as good cameras for a budget device. The smartphone also pleases with a powerful 4100 mAh battery and balanced hardware, represented by the Snapdragon 435 processor and Adreno 505 graphics. RAM and ROM in Redmi 4X are installed 3 and 32 gigabytes. In this case, the permanent memory can be expanded due to microSD cards (installed instead of the second SIM). In general, in terms of parameters, a Xiaomi smartphone is the best device that can be purchased in a price range of up to 10 thousand rubles.

Advantages:

• good "filling";
• high-quality matrix;
• reliable assembly;
• attractive design;
• battery life;
• good cameras;
• infrared port.

Disadvantages:

• no critical remarks were found.

2. Meizu M5c

This model is equipped with a 5-inch HD display, simple 8 and 5 megapixel cameras, MT6737 processor, Mali-T720 graphics, as well as 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM. This cheap smartphone will not cope with demanding games, but the device is just perfect for chatting in instant messengers, watching movies, surfing the Internet and similar simple tasks. In addition, it costs only 8,000 rubles, offering for this price, among other things, a tray for two Nano SIM format and support for all LTE bands used in Russia.

Advantages:

• beautiful and comfortable shell;
• system performance;
• build quality;
• attractive design;
• battery 3000 mAh;
• great screen;
• good conversational speaker.

Disadvantages:

• easily soiled plastic of the case;
• copes poorly with multitasking;
• storage space of the built-in storage.

Best 2 SIM smartphones with powerful battery

Even an excellent system optimization, unfortunately, does not guarantee a long battery life of your smartphone. This is especially true for devices with a large display and powerful hardware, which is regularly used for modern games and watching movies. For this reason, manufacturers install capacious batteries in their devices that can provide an honest day of work even with active use of a smartphone. However, you can buy them not only for those who like to play or watch videos, but also for ordinary users who are tired of putting their phone on charge every evening.

1. ASUS ZenFone 4 Max ZC554KL

The first place in this category was taken by the popular dual-SIM smartphone with 4G from ASUS. The ZenFone 4 Max will set you back around RUB 14,000. For this price, the manufacturer offers a metal case in gold, pink or black, a main 16-megapixel camera, a 5000 mAh battery with support for fast charging, as well as a Snapdragon 425 or 430 processor with an Adreno 308 or 505 graphics chip, respectively. RAM and permanent memory in any modification are installed 2 and 16 gigabytes. In addition, a smartphone with a good battery from ASUS boasts a high-quality 5.5-inch matrix with high brightness and contrast. However, its resolution is only 720x1280 pixels, which is quite small for such a diagonal.

Advantages:

• excellent autonomy;
• small thickness 8.9 mm;
• good hardware platform;
• good main camera;
• high quality protective glass;
• reliable assembly of the device;
• system performance.

2. Xiaomi Mi Max 2

If you are looking for a metal smartphone with two SIM cards and a large screen at an affordable cost, then consider the Mi Max 2 from Xiaomi as a candidate for purchase. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has made a really good device that is suitable for games, movies, internet, communication and other tasks. Mi Max 2 runs Android 7.1 with MIUI 9 shell. The battery in this model boasts an impressive capacity of 5300 mAh, and among other advantages of the device are support for Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging and a USB Type-C port. The latter meets the 2.0 standard, so you should not count on fast data transfer over the wire. However, for a mobile phone with an average price of 15 thousand rubles, this is forgivable.

The hardware platform of the smartphone is represented by a combination of Snapdragon 625 and Adreno 506, which is popular today. RAM and ROM are 4 and 64 gigabytes, respectively. Such "hardware" allows to make the price of the phone affordable for a wide range of users, and also guarantees good performance even in the most demanding games. Traditionally for the company, this inexpensive but high-quality smartphone is equipped with an infrared port and a fast fingerprint scanner on the back. The screen in the reviewed device is 6.44-inch, and its resolution is Full HD. The resulting pixel density cannot be called ideal, but such a decision by the manufacturer is explained by the manufacturer's desire to provide maximum performance and the best autonomy.

Advantages:

• large and high-quality screen;
• excellent hardware platform;
• support for fast charging function;
• infrared port for equipment control;
• high-quality assembled metal case;
• stock of built-in and RAM;
• good main and front cameras (including the price).

Disadvantages:

• no NFC support;
• weak sound in headphones;
• hybrid SD card slot.

3. ZTE Blade A6

In third place, we decided to include in the review, a budget smartphone ZTE Blade A6 with a 5000 mAh battery. The device supports Qualcomm fast charging, but only the second generation. The screen in the reviewed device is 5.2-inch, and its resolution is 720x1280 pixels. For a model for 13 thousand rubles, such a matrix cannot be called the best choice, but with HD resolution, the Snapdragon 435 processor and the Adreno 505 graphics chip are able to demonstrate a fairly high performance for their class in modern games. The 13 (main) and 5 (front) MP cameras installed in the Blade A6 are suitable for undemanding users. However, given the stated price, they cannot be called good. Among other disadvantages of the smartphone, according to customer reviews, one can note the quiet sound in the headphones, especially when it comes to the complete headset, as well as the proprietary shell.

Advantages:

• high-quality assembly;
• attractive appearance;
• system performance;
• gaming performance;
• fast work of the fingerprint scanner;
• high-quality matrix;
• support for fast charging.

Disadvantages:

• not everyone will like the MiFavor interface;

Today, even an ordinary mobile phone is capable of taking great pictures, suitable for posting not only on social networks, but also in family albums. Moreover, the cameras of many smartphones record videos of a very decent quality, so an ordinary mobile phone can become a tool for maintaining a full-fledged video blog. If you are interested in one of these tasks, then the below models of smartphones will be the perfect option for purchase.

1. Sony Xperia X Performance Dual

The first place in this category went to the Xperia X Performance Dual from the Japanese brand Sony. This smartphone has 2 slots for SIM-cards of the Nano format, one of which is combined with a place for installing microSD with a capacity of up to 200 gigabytes. Most users won't need a separate storage, however, as the Xperia X Performance comes with 64GB of permanent storage. RAM in this unit is 3 gigabytes, which is enough for any application. The same can be said about the powerful 4-core Snapdragon 820 processor, complemented by the Adreno 530 video chip. Otherwise, the smartphone does not disappoint in terms of its characteristics: a high-quality 5-inch Full HD matrix, an NFC module, a fast fingerprint scanner and IP68 protection. But what is most impressive about the smartphone is the main camera. Selected for the smartphone, the Sony Exmor RS module boasts f / 2.0 aperture, wide ISO range from 100 to 12800, 22.85 MP resolution and fast autofocus. The front camera is a slightly simplified version of the sensor with excellent light sensitivity and a resolution of 13 MP, which is enough for great selfies even in low light conditions.

2. Meizu Pro 6

Meizu has always been able to create reliable and worthwhile smartphones. Users considered devices from the Pro line to be one of the most interesting devices of the Chinese manufacturer. However, the recently released Meizu Pro 7 turned out to be very controversial: with a combination of interesting "chips" and good design, the device disappointed with its insufficient elaboration and high cost. For this reason, even now, when the price of the latest flagship Meizu has dropped slightly, consumers are more willing to purchase the Pro 6 model, which we decided to choose for our rating.

This smartphone uses a 10-core Helio X25 processor and 4-core Mali-T880 graphics. RAM and internal memory in the device are 4 and 32 GB, respectively. One of the key advantages of Meizu Pro 6 is the touch-mechanical Home button, on which a large number of functions are tied, such as going to the main screen, returning and unlocking the phone using a fingerprint.

Another important advantage of the reviewed mobile phone with a good screen (5.2 inches, Full HD, Super AMOLED) is the Cirrus Logic CS43L36 audio chip. Thanks to the DAC and the competent work of specialists from Meizu, the sound in the Pro 6 model is simply amazing. Even more than a year and a half after its release, this device leaves most of its competitors far behind.

A smartphone is also a good choice for amateur photography. Installed here, the Sony IMX230 sensor with an aperture of f / 2.2, a resolution of 21 MP and laser autofocus takes excellent pictures even in low light conditions. But the front 5-megapixel camera OmniVision OV5695 is of average quality and makes a lot of noise in the dark. However, this is not even half as disappointing as the lack of NFC in a modern device.

• good juicy screen;
• system performance;
• attractive design;
• high-quality assembly;
• mTouch button;
• infrared port;
• fast charging function;

The RAM and permanent memory in the Huawei Honor 9 smartphone is installed 4 and 64 GB, respectively, and if necessary, the user can expand the built-in storage at the expense of micro-SD cards up to 256 GB. The reviewed model also makes a number of useful features, such as the presence of NFC, infrared port and fast charging function, the best in terms of price-quality ratio of the TOP smartphone. In addition, the smartphone is great for mobile photography.

A selection of phones for those who are not satisfied with one SIM card.

Dual SIM phones are quite popular. At a similar cost to their one-symbol counterparts, they offer work with two numbers at once, for example, personal and work. This allows you to choose an advantageous combination of tariffs from different operators, eliminates the pain of replacing the card and the cost of an additional "dialer".

There are, of course, drawbacks. As a rule, dual-SIM smartphones run out faster, and the slot for the second SIM-card is often made combined with the slot for the memory card.

As you can see, there are certain pitfalls when choosing a good smartphone for 2 SIM cards. Therefore, we have compiled for you a rating of the best and inexpensive dual SIM phones so that you can make the right choice.

10th place

Umi Rome X is an inexpensive dual SIM phone with a large 5.5-inch display. The most interesting thing about the smartphone is the design, which outwardly resembles the flagship Samsung Galaxy S7. The similarity is achieved due to the thin body, smoothed shapes and curved at the edges of the back panel. The advantages of Umi Rome X are a removable battery and separate slots for two SIM-cards and a memory card. At the same time, the device is quite inexpensive - about 5 thousand rubles.

But the smartphone has its drawbacks - the lack of 4G, solid weight and a weak battery with a capacity of 2500 mAh, which is not enough for such a large display.

9th place

Doogee X5 Max is an affordable dual-SIM smartphone with 4G, a good battery and a fingerprint sensor. The phone offers its owners a clear HD display, a capacious 4000 mAh battery and Android 6.0 on board. But most importantly, there is a removable cover that allows you to quickly replace the battery, as well as separate slots for two SIM cards and a memory card. In addition, we will highlight the unusual design with curved ends, like some LG smartphones, and an affordable price from 4 thousand rubles.

Among the shortcomings - a large and weighty body, rather weak 5 MP cameras and a small amount of RAM, only 1 GB. But if you add one or two thousand rubles, then you can buy Doogee X5 Max Pro - the same model, but with more memory (16 GB of ROM and 2 GB of RAM).

8th place

Meizu M3s is perfect for those who want a metal 4G smartphone with two SIM cards. Despite the modest price tag of 8 thousand rubles, the Meizu M3s has plenty of advantages. It has a slim metal body with a good build, a fingerprint scanner, a 5-inch display with HD-resolution, as well as high-quality 13 and 5 MP cameras. In addition, the phone will delight with 16 GB of permanent memory and a 3200 mAh battery.

There are some disadvantages, but not serious: a slightly dim display, non-separable body and a combined slot for a second SIM and memory card.

7th place

Xiaomi Redmi 3 is a good choice for those looking for an inexpensive smartphone with a powerful battery and two SIM cards. In our opinion, this is one of the best budget dual SIM phones in 2016. Having bought Xiaomi Redmi 3 for only 8 thousand rubles, you will get a metal smartphone with a bright and clear screen, decent performance and high-quality 13 and 5 MP cameras. But the most interesting thing about the phone is the high autonomy provided by the 4100 mAh battery. Despite the powerful battery, Xiaomi Redmi 3 did not come out thick or heavy.

There are also disadvantages: a non-removable battery and a combined SIM and microSD card slot. Separately, we note that for the same price you can buy Xiaomi Redmi 3s - the same phone, but supplemented with a fingerprint scanner.

6th place

Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) is a 5-inch dual SIM phone. The LTE version of the model will cost you 9-10 thousand rubles, but the 3G modification is already more expensive. The main advantage of the smartphone is a bright and clear AMOLED display with wide viewing angles, making it perfectly readable in the sun. In addition, the phone is well assembled, and its autonomy is at a decent level. What is important for the dual-SIM model is that under the removable cover you will find separate slots for SIM-cards and memory cards.

The disadvantages are small amounts of memory (8 GB of storage and 1.5 GB of RAM), low performance and unimpressive 8 and 5 MP cameras.

5th place

Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE Dual SIM is a cheap dual SIM phone for Windows 10. It may not be the newest, but for January 2017 it costs from 6-7 thousand rubles. The phone has a crisp and bright 5-inch display, a good 8MP camera for its price tag, and high battery life. Despite the weak stuffing, the smartphone works smartly, supports LTE and even NFC. We also note a well-assembled case, a removable cover and a separate slot for a memory card that does not pretend to be a SIM card.

Among the shortcomings - a small amount of internal memory, weak front-camera 1 MP and a limited selection of applications. When buying, be careful: there are other phone modifications - both single-symbol and without 4G support.

4th place

Xiaomi Mi4c is perfect for those who want an inexpensive dual-SIM smartphone of almost flagship level. The release of the model took place at the end of 2015, since then its price has dropped to 7-8 thousand rubles. The phone is equipped with a clear 5-inch Full HD display and advanced cameras at 13 and 5 megapixels. It is the most powerful dual-SIM smartphone in its price range thanks to the 2015 flagship processor, Snapdragon 808 (same as the top-end LG G4) and 2GB of RAM. Communications Xiaomi Mi4c is also almost flagship - there is 4G, infrared port, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Responsible for autonomy is a battery with a decent capacity of 3080 mAh and support for fast charging.

Xiaomi Mi4c has only one drawback - there is no memory card slot, which will be especially noticeable in the 16 GB modification. Also note that this model has a non-separable body and a new USB Type-C connector.

3rd place

Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML is a powerful phone with two SIM cards and two radio modules. Since 2015, the price has dropped to 11-12 thousand rubles, but not outdated. The main feature of the model is the flagship performance. Inside the phone is a powerful chipset and 4 GB of RAM, like some laptops. At the same time, the phone looks rather unusual, boasting a removable battery and separate slots for two SIM and microSD card. But more importantly, these are two radio modules, which are extremely rare today. This means that both SIM cards can work at the same time: receive calls and stay connected to the Internet when calling from another card.

As disadvantages, let's name low autonomy and ordinary cameras for an almost flagship. In addition, the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML is quite large and heavy, and the location of the control keys will seem inconvenient to many.

2nd place

Lenovo Vibe Shot is a dual-SIM smartphone with a good camera. It was released back in 2015 and significantly dropped in price to 13 thousand rubles. In addition to the advanced camera, Lenovo Vibe Shot boasts a stylish design, decent battery life and high performance. Also note that this is a rare phone with a non-separable body, but separate slots for two SIM-cards and a memory card.

The phone also has drawbacks - the lack of an NFC chip and easily soiled, glossy plastic, which eventually peels off the body of the device. In addition, it is strange that Lenovo Vibe Shot is positioned as an advanced camera phone, but does not know how to shoot 4K video.

1st place

Huawei Honor 7 is a pretty powerful phone with 2 SIM cards and two radios. It costs from 19 thousand and offers almost top-end features. So, Honor 7 boasts high-quality 20 and 8 MP cameras, a metal body with a fingerprint scanner, a high-quality display, high performance and an additional Smart Key control button. But the main advantage of the model is two radio modules that allow two SIM-cards to work simultaneously. With such a smartphone, you can talk and not lose your Internet connection from the second SIM card, as well as receive two calls at once.

The Honor 7 also has its drawbacks - a non-separable case and a combo slot. The latter is especially sad, because the amount of permanent memory is small for your money, only 16 GB. Also, for the top model, the phone looks unprepossessing, and the battery life is only average.
