Which dual sim phone

partnership

Am looking to buy a new dual sim phone. Have grand duos but have huge problems with battery drain since an update but that is another story. So I won't buy another Samsung.

Battery life has now become quite important, good camera, min 5 inch screen might go a little larger but not a 6 inch. 4g if I could get it but haven't found anything. Budget 200 euro.

Currently looking at the Motorola moto g 2nd gen. Have also looked at Lenovo s860 but the reviews don't seem to be as positive. Any suggestions before I take the plunge.

GBX

What about a Chinese/Asian branded phone? Plenty to choose from the likes of Xiaomi, Elephone etc.

Would prefer a brand that I know and can get covers for etc. Also from somewhere like amazon or pixmania

I have a Archos 50 Diamond as my backup phone/for travelling. It has 4G on SIM1 only. I think SIM 2 is 2g only.

Its not a bad phone - supposely is going to get updated to Android 5.x at some stage - currently running 4.4.4 - stock with a few Archos apps but that is it.

Haven't found any decent cases for it yet.

Is the Argos description of 4GB correct ?

I have looked through argos and checked local and national stock and can't find a single phone in stock. Not only the archos, but for all of the phones i wasted my time looking at. Why do argos waste our time by advertising decent offers but having no stock??

4GB of storage. Looking at the Archos site, this phone would appear to be from 2013 and Archos themselves are no longer selling it - I had to go into the Support section to find any info on it.

According to the Argos description it is Dual Sim but only supports up to 3G on one sim while the 50 Diamond will support up to 4G on one sim

Here's a link to the Quick Start Guide for the 50 Titanium on the Archos Support site which shows the 2 sim slots - http://www.archos.com/support/download/manuals/112242_ARCHOS_50_Titanium_book_quick.pdf

I bought mine direct from Archos - they seem to have some supply issues. The black/yellow one won't be available until May 20th while the all black (which is a new colour option) won't be shipping until May 20th

For the 50 Titanium I would say its no longer being manufactured so any stock is gone

The 50 Diamond is just out and I got mine from Archos direct

Thanks Pizzahead but I can't wait as the phone I have is acting up and I can't trust it so need to buy in next few days. Are any of the other Archos models any good must be min 5 inch screen max 5.2, long battery life as well.
