Small Form Dual Sim Androids?

    Hello please!

    I currently have a Oneplus X. And small hands. Which means I can't use the phone with one hand.

    I'd like a dual sim Android phone roughly the same size as the iPhone SE (It measures 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6mm).

    Anyone got any recommendations?

    Thanks.

    Have a look on here. You can edit the size etc to suit your needs. You can then price around on the likes of Ali Ex, Geekbuying etc (see first page of the android phone sticky for sellers)

    careful with the Network Band considerations on any phones from the far east.

    Dual Sim + Small(Thus smaller battery) = constantly low battery, I wouldnt.

    I currently use an Archos 45C Platinum, bought in France (new) for 80€ about 18 months ago. I've been using it trouble-free across western Europe with an Irish and a French sim. It's about 4-6mm longer/wider than the dimensions you quoted above, but I chose it in preference to the millions of 5" models being promoted specifically because I wanted to be able to use it one-handed. It's only 3G, but I'm not a heavy data user.

    Current Archos 4G models sell for about 60-100€ online. You can get 4" and 4.5" Wiko 4G dual sims off the shelf in any French hypermarket for about the same price. They're all usb-powered so there's no problem with having the "wrong" plug if (you can keep the French mains-to-usb adaptor for charging everything else when you're on holidays!)

    Zombie thread warning!

    Now that phones have gotten even bigger, Apple has bucked the trend and released their 2020 iPhone SE - which looks to be the perfect size.

    Are there any signs that any of the Android manufacturers will follow suit? If not, what's the best dual-sim small form option in 2020?
    (I've done some searching but end up smothered by options and fairly confused).

    Thanks!
