Best DUAL SIM android phone?

Sadly there is a very simple reason behind this: money.

I guess pressure comes from two parts:

- telephon companies, if dual sims phones get a large diffusion, then many users will save money

- the hardware manufacter itself. If you have two sims, you are likely to buy two phones...


Look, in italy for example there are more sims than people, you can image the business behind..


:/

I do not agree. What the price is doesn't matter. I would gladly pay $ 1500 for such a top model phone with dual sim for europe. And I now a lot of people how would do that. So the manufacter would get the same mony anyway.

Anyway. My ZTE U960 should come on next week. And I would come with a review.

biibuu , i bought a "unlocked" version of XT532, the sellers wrote "fully support to Google Android Market and Google Services." I read are differences betweeen customized XT532 for China market and the version for the rest of the world. Hope it will be so, but some people who bought other smartphone by this seller told me he is very affordable.
Can you tell me if is good antenna signal? And how fast is the second sim reconnection after call? Audio quality in conversation? Wifi ok?

Thanks

For the XT532, The antenna signal is good. Second sim reconnection is quite fast, usually without me noticing the wait. Audio quality and WIFI all ok. another drawback is that it doesn't support flash, even with the flash player installed.

While using the data connection on SIM1 3G/HSDPA does the second SIM2 remain active/reachable for incoming calls?

Thnx

Hello!

Have you gathered any additional information regarding the release of the Galaxy Y Duos and Galaxy Y Pro Duos? I would really want to buy one of the phones. Didn't deceide yet, which of the 2. Any recommendations?

I hope they will be available on the European market. I know a worldwide release is planned, but I didn't read about any dates or distribution channels.

These 2 phones will arguably be the best dual sim android smartphones. The relatively small resolution seems to be the only drawback.
Is there any dual sim android phone which is superior in your opinion?

One alternative, although probably more expensive, would be the Motorola XT532. Here's a comparison between the 2 phones. There it is stated that the Motorola phone uses HSDPA 850 / 2100 and the Samsung phone HSDPA 900 / 2100. Does this mean that the XT532 doesn't work (well) in Europe and the Galaxy Y Duos doesn't work well in the US?
If someone already owns the XT532, where did you get it from?

I am thankful for any replies!

Hi,
My operator (Proximus in Belgium) operates under GSM 900/1800 (2G GSM) net and W-CDMA 2100 (3G UTMS) frequencies.
No issues for me with eighter of these phones since 2100 is supported by both.
Regards

motorola xt532 have a higher ram (512mb) than Samsung Galaxy Y duos (384mb), 5mpx camera (moto) vs 3.15 mpx (Samsung), screen 3.5" HVGA (moto) vs 3.12" QVGA (Samsung)... i think are important difference....;)

The XT532 indeed looks good. Does anyone of you own this phone?
How about the full google market/gmail compatibility which was doubted somewhere above?
the only forum user i know is biibuu who bought the XT532 in China. I and Pwel are waiting for the phone , bought by ebay seller in Taiwan.

What would be the most reliable source of availability (including full warranty coverage) right now?

i prefer ebay, but some other e-commerce sites sell the phone. Warranty is valid only in the country where the phone is sold, with some exception decided by Motorola.

Did you buy it from "Yupitek International Ltd" (ebay account: "wifigadget88")?
No matter from where, please let me know your experiences after having received the phone.
