Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) SM-J710F

Flagship-level gadget from 2014 – early 2015 at an affordable price.

Like the rest of the Samsung Galaxy line, this smartphone has a great screen, stylish, slim body and cameras capable of taking high-quality pictures. A special feature of the device is a wide-angle front camera with a separate LED flash. In addition, implemented in proprietary TouchWiz shell Energy saving mechanisms reduce battery consumption by almost 1.5 times.

Users cited the lack of additional chips, such as fast charging, a fingerprint scanner, auto-adjusting screen brightness, and also not the best quality sound. However, the latter can be solved by replacing the headphones with more advanced ones.

LG G4 Stylus H540F

The main feature of this device is the inclusion of a stylus. This addition will be appreciated by those who write notes on their phones or do sketches by hand.


The first thing that attracts the attention of the LG G4 Stylus H540F is its magnificent, bright screen that you want to look at and look at. And also the aforementioned stylus, hidden inside the body (only the tip is outside). However, the smartphone’s hardware let us down: the manufacturer clearly “didn’t include” any memory in it – neither RAM nor permanent memory. But (apparently to compensate), I installed a powerful eight-core processor and a capacious battery.

The device will satisfy the needs of those who do not play resource-intensive games, do not take artistic photos and do not use the Internet much, since when opening only 3-4 browser tabs with multimedia content, the lack of memory becomes obvious. Pictures taken with the 8-megapixel rear camera are also very mediocre.

  • Case material – plastic.

  • Weight: 162 g.
  • OS version: Android 5.0.

The main drawback of the LG G4 Stylus H540F is the price, as its hardware specifications are on par with lower-end models.

Cost up to 30,000 rubles

The flagship of another Chinese manufacturer, Meizu, is aimed at music lovers.

Which smartphone with 2 SIM cards is better to choose?

If you only need a high-quality dialer, then you shouldn’t get hung up on additional options (camera, navigation, etc.). Here, the battery capacity will be much more important, which should be at least 1500 mAh. For entertainment - watching movies, taking photographs, shooting videos, playing games, listening to music - you need a model with a high resolution, at least 1920x1080, and a loud speaker.

Here are some tips on how to choose the best dual-SIM smartphone and not make a mistake:

  1. Consider the diagonal. The optimal option is from 5.2″ to 5.5″. On such phones it is convenient to watch photos and movies, without needing to peer at the screen.
  2. Don't forget about the body material. If possible, it is better to take a metal model; it will not break when dropped, but will be scratched. Plastic, only impact-resistant, will also work.
  3. Remember the color. Black has already become a classic; it is on this type of case that scratches and abrasions are less noticeable. Girls can take a closer look at a golden or pink shade.
  4. Pay attention to specifications . A gadget with 4-8 cores will “fly” confidently; with a smaller number, it can “freeze” even while accessing the Internet. The same applies to internal memory, the critical minimum here is 2 GB.
  5. Don't ignore features. If you plan to connect to the Internet on the road, then Wi-Fi alone will clearly not be enough; you will also need 3G/4G. For conversations on Skype or Viber, you will need a powerful front camera, at least 2 megapixels, otherwise the picture will be unclear.

According to the results of the rating, the best smartphone with 2 SIM cards are Sony gadgets due to their powerful functionality, fast operation and stylish design. Although, judging by user reviews, it does not have to be something expensive - younger models can also serve you well.

Bonus – innos D6000

This smartphone is suitable for those who want to not only stay in touch using two numbers, but also do it for as long as possible. The thing is that the innos D6000 has a 6000 mAh battery.

Characteristics:

  1. 2 micro SIM cards;
  2. 8-core processor with a frequency of 1.5 GHz;

A 6000 mAh battery is almost the maximum for modern smartphones. On one charge, the innos D6000 under load can work for 3-4 days, which is a lot. Moreover, the operating time can be increased. The fact is that there is a built-in 2480 mAh battery and a removable 2520 mAh battery (in total we get exactly 6000 mAh). You can buy as many removable batteries as you like and then install them one by one, without turning off the smartphone. Also worth noting in the innos D6000 is the high-quality Japanese Full HD screen, Qualcomm processor with 8 computing cores and a large amount of memory - 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. Most often, devices for comparable money (16,000 rubles) have 2 and 16 GB, respectively.

Advantages of such smartphones

Of course, everyone already understands the advantages of such devices. But for the sake of clarification and length of the text, we would like to add something of our own:

  1. Saving money on communications. Operators within their network offer customers free calls. And if a business person, then he has a huge Notebook, in which the numbers different operators. Therefore, he has no need to spend money calling from one SIM card to numbers of “non-native” operators.
  2. In one phone you can “combine 2 lives” - personal and work. Some people solve this problem by using two phones - one for work, the other for personal life. But carrying 2 phones with you is not very convenient; it is much more practical to have only one phone with two SIM cards;
  3. When you change operator, some people will try to contact you through old number. Therefore, the old number should also be active for some time.

Note: Most smartphones only use 1 radio module. This means that in normal mode, 2 SIM cards are active, and calls can be made to any of them. But in talk mode, the second SIM card becomes inactive. This is a minor drawback, but now models with two radio modules have appeared on the market. In this case, the SIM cards will not depend on each other at all - they will be available even during a conversation. The disadvantage of such smartphones is their relative high cost and high energy consumption. Therefore, if you choose a model with two radio modules, pay attention to the battery capacity - it should be large.

Technique in modern world is rapidly improving, and Cell phones not an exception. The buttons disappeared, the design changed a lot, but the characteristics important to the consumer remained unchanged. Whether 10 years ago or now, the main thing in a phone is several SIM cards to separate work and family contacts, and good battery, capable of withstanding several days without charging. In this article we will look at smartphones with a powerful battery and two SIM cards.

Innos D6000 6000 mAh battery

The incomparable leader of our top smartphones with two SIM cards and a powerful battery. Actually, the innos D6000 has two batteries: a built-in 2,480 mAh battery and a removable 3,520 mAh battery. The latter can be changed without turning off the device, that is, hot swapping is supported. This is a unique feature; it is not found in any other smartphone. Both the innos D6000 itself and additional batteries for it can be purchased at innos.com/ru - this is the brand’s official store in Russia. Thanks to direct sales via the Internet without retail chains with their markups, innos was able to offer for 16 thousand rubles characteristics that are found in devices for about 20 thousand rubles. innos D6000 received a Full HD screen made by Japanese JDI, a 16-megapixel camera, an 8-core Snapdragon 615, 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. An update to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow will be released for the smartphone before the end of summer. And yes, you should only buy innos D6000 on innos.com/ru - all other stores sell Chinese versions of the model, which are not fully compatible with Russian ones LTE networks and have buggy firmware.

The battery life of modern smartphones has become the talk of the town. A few years ago, when the typical size mobile device was 3 - 4 inches, owners of devices on “long-lived” OS (like Symbian) and simple “dialers” constantly joked with the owners of Android communicators about the battery. This was especially true for owners of dual SIM cards, whose dual communication module made the discharge rate truly a sprint.

However, time does not stand still and progress in technology has made it possible for the battery life of a smartphone to reach decent values. In order to finally dispel the myth that Android-based mobile phones cannot work for a long time without recharging, we decided to create a selection of five smartphones with 2 SIM cards, equipped with a powerful battery. It includes models of various classes, among which everyone can choose a solution based on their taste and budget.

At the beginning of 2016, the first smartphone with two batteries simultaneously appeared in Russia. The capacity of its batteries (removable and built-in) is 6000 mAh. In standby mode, this smartphone will work for a week, games will “eat up” the charge in 10 hours, and you can watch video on it for 17.5 hours, the manufacturer says. At the same time, the powerful removable battery can be removed and replaced without turning off the phone - this is a unique innos technology.

The smartphone has two micro cards SIM and fully supports work with Russian LTE frequencies. The official Russian version with full localization and an imminent update to Android 6.0 is sold only through the official website innos.com/ru at a price of 15,990 rubles ($250). The hardware of the device on paper fully corresponds to the cost.

The innos D6000 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset with an energy-efficient 8-core processor and 3 GB of RAM. Therefore, even the newest 3D shooting games and racing games run smoothly, and high-definition video also opens. The amount of internal memory is 32 GB (most analogues for the same price have only 16 GB) and cards are supported microSD memory. For its price category, the device has an excellent 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, with bright colors and wide viewing angles. And the cable can be inserted into a modern symmetrical Type-C connector from either side. This USB port provides high speed data transmission and fast charging– batteries are fully charged in 3 hours.

Fly IQ4501 EVO Energy 4 – cheap and cheerful

Title of the best budget smartphone for two SIM cards with a powerful battery, we decided to give the Fly IQ4501 EVO Energy 4. Although the model hit the shelves a year and a half ago (in April 2014), it is still on sale. Today you can buy this smartphone for about $100.

The Fly IQ4501 EVO Energy 4 hardware, although not the most modern, is not backward either. After all, the device is built on the basis of a quad-core MT6582 processor and is equipped with 1 GB of RAM. In combination with the Mali 400 MP2 video accelerator, the smartphone is suitable not only for browsing the web and listening to music, but also for playing games.

The Fly IQ4501 EVO Energy 4 screen is the most budget-friendly: although its diagonal is 5 inches, the resolution is only 854x480 pixels. Although it does not have phenomenal viewing angles, the brightest backlight or unsurpassed color accuracy, it will do for everyday needs.

You can use two SIM cards in a smartphone, one should be in MicroSIM format, and the second should be a regular “mini” one. Second and third generation networks are supported, and the manufacturer has not forgotten about navigation and Wi-Fi.

A powerful battery is the main advantage of the device. It has a capacity of 4200 mAh, which is really cool for such a budget device with two SIM cards. In standby mode, the device will “live” for a week, and watching videos or reading web pages will drain the battery in 10 hours. Only games let us down a little, but if you consider that traditionally inexpensive devices are capable of breaking even in 3–5 hours in this mode, then 7–8 hours from the Fly IQ4501 look decent.

Lenovo A5000 - an affordable mid-ranger

In April of this year, a new long-liver from Lenovo was released, designed to replace the bestseller P780. Lenovo A5000, which can now be purchased for about $150, like its predecessor, has a powerful 4000 mAh battery and support for two SIM cards.


The smartphone chipset, MT6582, has a quad-core processor, a Mali 400 MP2 video chip and a gigabyte of RAM. This is enough for most users, since the Lenovo A5000 is capable of handling both applications and modern toys. 18 thousand points in Antutu only confirm this.

A good 5" diagonal display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels has good clarity, acceptable viewing angles and brightness.

The device has 8 GB of memory; if there is not enough memory, you can install a flash drive with a capacity of up to 32 GB.

The battery capacity is enough to operate in standby mode for about 3 - 5 days (depending on the frequency of calls), 10 hours of video viewing or a couple of days of moderate load. If you are interested in a smartphone, then more detailed review search in the search bar of our website at the top right.

Doogee Titans 2 DG700 – cute Chinese

A device for 2 SIM cards, made in the style of elite Vertu smartphones, was released in China in December last year. Now you can buy it from us, paying about 130 - 150 “green”. The device turned out to be really solid: 2 SIM cards, a metal case, a leather (or leatherette, but really high-quality) back panel, a powerful battery and water protection make the Doogee Titans 2 DG700 an attractive option.

But you have to pay for everything: although the smartphone’s processor corresponds to the mid-budget price category (a quad-core MT6582 is installed here, similar to that of the same Lenovo A5000), 2 SIM cards will allow you to save money, and a gigabyte of RAM is enough for games, there is no HD display here. However, considering that the diagonal is not 5", but only 4.5, 960x540 is also not bad. And the use of OGS allows you to save power on the backlight, since this technology allows more light to pass through the touchscreen.

In standby mode, the Doogee Titans 2 DG700 will work for about five days, it can play videos for about 10 – 12 hours without recharging, and games “eat up” the charge in 7 hours.

Another highlight of the smartphone, in addition to a powerful battery and support for two cards, is protection from dust and moisture. The Doogee Titans 2 DG700 can easily survive a fall into a bathtub or toilet (we still don’t recommend experimenting with the device’s conquest of sewer spaces), however, the port plugs must be closed.

Meizu M2 Note - an inexpensive phablet with a good battery

Meizu M2 Note was included in our rating only because it is one of the most affordable phablets, the filling of which claims to be “flagship”.

Its battery life is by no means phenomenal, but there is still a reason to call the battery powerful. What is 3100 mAh for a phablet? It seems like an ordinary volume. But that’s not the case: the Chinese often install only 2 Ah batteries in their “shovels,” and finding a long-lasting phablet for $200 (which is how much the Meizu M2 Note costs) is not so easy.

Let's immediately mention the hardware: it is truly advanced. An eight-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, 2 “hectares” of RAM, 16 gigabytes of memory on board and a slot for a second SIM card combined with a slot for a memory card. So, the situation “I’ve already forgotten where the socket is” will definitely not happen. However, compared to phablets for 200 - 400 dollars, even 6 hours of gaming, 9 - 11 reading websites, 4 days of standby time look decent.

Maybe the Meizu M2 Note could have lasted longer, but the caring Chinese equipped it with an excellent 5.5" FullHD screen, which eats up a decent amount of charge. The pixels here really are not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, if your eyes are very sensitive, then between choosing a long battery life work and visual comfort, we would advise choosing the latter. After all, it’s easier to find a power outlet than to get rid of visual fatigue (and more sad consequences). Moreover, 6 hours of gaming against the background of the same Galaxy Note 4, with its 4.5 hours, looks good. And the price... It’s 3 times less! AND SIM cards there are two here.

Meizu MX5 - a tenacious flagship

What Chinese entrepreneurs are definitely worth thanking for is the increase in quality and reduction in prices. Recently released (June 30), their new device Meizu MX5 was really a success. 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080, 8-core MT6795 chipset with its almost 50 thousand AntUtU Benchmark, 3 GB of RAM and 21 megapixel Sony camera and really good. A powerful 3150 mAh battery and 2 SIM cards make it very attractive at a price of about $350.

The smartphone has one drawback: there is no slot for a flash drive. But three variants of the device, with 16, 32 and 64 GB chips, make this problem insignificant.

Agree: 15 hours of reading mode, 12 hours of watching movies in FullHD and 5 hours of games for a top-end smartphone really look attractive for a device with 2 SIM cards.

HomTom HT6 - a week without recharging

The smartphone was released in 2015, the average cost is $150. For reference: HomTom is not a “noname” company, it is a separate brand of the Doogee manufacturer, where the emphasis is on high-capacity batteries. The smartphone uses a 6250 mAh battery, as well as a fairly economical processor, which allows the device to work without recharging for a whole week in normal mode, or three days with intensive use. In “Hard” mode at maximum loads, the smartphone can withstand the whole day. The battery can be charged by 75% in just half an hour thanks to PumpExpress Plus technology.


In addition, HomTom HT6 5.5” FullHD IPS display, MediaTek MT6735 processor (quad-core), 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, plus support for MicroSD flash drives. A 13-megapixel module is responsible for photo and video shooting. There is a slot for 2 SIM cards and support for 3G and 4G networks.

ASUS Zenfone Max - a branded smartphone with great potential

It’s done: more well-known brands are trying their hand in the segment of long-lasting smart phones. The devices have every chance of becoming a worthy competitor to other manufacturers who have previously mastered the niche of long-lived smartphones. Meet ASUS Zenfone Max with a powerful battery life: 5000 mAh. Sales began in mid-February 2016, the projected cost is 150 USD.


Zenfone Max is equipped with a 5.5” screen (720p), internal storage 8/16 GB, memory card slot and 2 GB RAM. The basis of performance will be the SoC Snapdragon 410 chip (4 cores, 1.2 GHz). The manufacturer promises a high-quality 13-megapixel camera with improved low-light photography and laser autofocus. In addition to everything, the user will be pleased with the simultaneous operation of 4G with two SIM cards.

Highscreen Power Five - power of five ampere-hours

Power Five- the first Highscreen model, which, despite the capacious battery (5000 mAh), will not scare away potential consumers with its monstrous appearance. True, the price of the new product, released in 2015, is not entirely affordable - $218 at the current exchange rate. The owner can count on 4 days without the need to recharge through an outlet. For active users, the charge will last for 2 days. And a gambling addict will be able to discharge Power Five “to zero” in 8 hours. There is an extreme mode that turns off almost everything, but the device is still able to “live” for about 20 days.


5-inch screen matrix - AMOLED (1280x720). The advantage of this technology is increased energy efficiency when working with dark colors.
