Dual SIM android that donot hang

Guys I am frustrated with mt Xperia :evil:

. It's hanging a lot. I can't even receive a call when I see it ringing because the slider stops responding for a few secs.
Suggest me a Dual SIM android. It should look good. I don't want something too high on specs where I have to compromise on looks. If I need high specs only, I can do that myself. I also want good looks. Budget is 20 k. Should have a good camera. Good low light shot. And if possible, with a physical keyboard. I really hate typing on touch screens.

Must Points in brief:
1. Should not hang. Dual SIM
2. Good looks as I am gonna carry it the whole day.
3. Good camera.

Aside, at what price could I sell my used LWW. 1 year old.

Sony Xperia M Dual is great phone, from a reputed manufacturer. Moto G dual is headed for India & would launch in India in Jan'14 (thanks Sundar Pichai), wait for it if you can.........Motorola Moto G - Full phone specifications
Other options are:
Micromax Canvas Turbo A250 vs Lenovo P780 vs Sony Xperia M Dual vs Sony Xperia C: Compare Mobiles: Flipkart.com

BTW, I recently rooted, unlocked bootloader & installed custom ROM in my friend's LWW(Beanstalk). Its much smoother than the stock ROM. Why don't you try another ROM for your phone for the time being & get Moto G next year ??

Sony Xperia M Dual all the way.

How about HTC phones ? They got great looks too. and Lenovo P780 got 4000mah battery. 2 days of talktime with excessive usage. Though I donno about after sales. You know Xperia M got lots of issues. Two of my friends are both suffering. I also talked with a Sony SC guy and he said lots of complain about Xperia M. Though its great on specs and price.

No Micromax. Yes I have installed custom ROM but moved back to original as the SQ in custom ROM are not good.

+1 for Moto G dual great phone it is :))

My Colleague got Xperia C and its a great device with MTK quad core inside. It doesnot feel he would need a custom ROM to improve performance in near future. But he bought it.I don't want the same device.

Yes I can wait for Moto G. But the question is will it be so cheap with India imposing heavy custom duty and taxes on imported products. It would be about 20- 25 K

Remember there is no expansion slot for memory in Moto

anything more ? :-?

Blacklisted Moto G

So it means i need to carry otg cable and pendrive all the way. SO when I want to watch some video not in the phone, I need to connect the pendrive, right. How long you think battery will last via USB OTG ?

Ok, lets assume that Moto G has a micro-sd card slot. so, if that other video was in someone else's phone, then would you take his memory card out, insert it in your phone and then watch it or transfer it using bluetooth and then watch? :deadbored:

the 16 GB version has about 12-13 GB free space, which should be more than enough.

I don't think the OP's purpose was to watch a movie in somebody's else's phone. In which case OTG is counterproductive.

Passive data like movies, songs, images and documents can always be stored anywhere. Now be it OTG or SD card. That is never a problem as it is not accessed continuously unlike the app data which is always in use. Not many apps hog as much space as to fill up a 16GB card but games are an exception. Any decent game will take up at least 2GB+.

I just assume Moto G users aren't looking to game. Give up, its not possible. That aside, the phone seems like a steal (if priced right)

Xolo a500s. Im using one

Sorry i didnt see the budget. Mine cost 6k.

Moto G then. But are the posters absolutely sure moto g is coming to india?

^yep, absolutely

Eben Sygic, my offline GPS app will eat up about 2 GB. I know MotoG is a great phone but i need with expandable memory as I always run short of storage, be it mobile or PC.

No need to be sorry. Thanks for suggesting.

From where in Guwahati will you be purchasing??? Cause am on the lookout for a new mobile too and would like to know some local prices and compare them with Flipkart... :-D

why not ? 5 big games can easily be installed at a time along with 3-4 gb of music.. that's more than enough even for pro gamers

Moto G then. But are the posters absolutely sure moto g is coming to india?

yes it is official the dual sim version is especially made for india.. price will not go beyond 18k for the dual sim variant..

i would recommend you xperia m dual .. the cpu is way more powerful than moto g and it has awesome looks so no possiblity of hangs or slowdown for next 2 years con would be small screen if you are ok with that plus it is cheapest

regarding camera - you wan't good low light photography ? answer - impossible product does not exist. period

all cameras in phones less than 20k are crap don't get your hopes high.. only nokia lumia 720 excels in this department.. g

i am not considering any samsung for you since design is a priority for you .. so that rules out samsung , i find their all phones ugly . xperia c is a good option if you want big screen .. but keep in mind it won't get android 4.4 either officialy or unofficialy and chances of occasional lags when using heavy multitasking

also note i am suggesting you in only branded phones

well there is a perfect phone for your needs

the phone is HTC Desire 601 ..

Very Premium Looks the white version ( similar to HTC one ) + very good performance + decent camera + awesome screen + memory expandable but it will exceed your budget then by 3-4k

I would recommend you to go for htc desire 601 as it will be perfect match even though it costs a bit more premium and is overpriced..

^yep, absolutely

Then the Owl didn't go beyond Angry Birds

I'm at a loss for producing the evidence as I lost my phone a couple of years back(and won't buy another droid at the moment) but it housed around 20 games out of which 80% of space was hogged by 2-3 games alone maxing out at 1.5GB~1.8GB. The only one that went beyond the 1.8GB mark was The Dark Knight Rises dwarfing all others at around 4GB

Remember, this is game cache. Not package size. This(cache) can vary as per device but cannot vary like from 2GB to Zero GB

A more precise description should've been around 1GB maxing out, on an average, around 1.5GB. Though someone more active these days can better quote these numbers

I want to suggest a phone, which I know others will go aganist but personally I think, its the best dual SIM phone at that price + it has great battery life .............

Ok....... the ~250ppi screen is not bad, Super AMOLED screens are better than S-LCD screens(includes IPS). Great battery life is what a dual SIM phone must have (2 SIMs will drain more battery, even on standby). 1.5GB RAM is easily more than what competition from branded manufacturers offer !!

Also 4.3" screen size is adequate for phones. Its camera is great for its price !!

^ +1

My 2 friends has this mini phone.. the screen is sharp & has a Gorilla Glass too.
Also IR blaster is there.

What about this ?

This time I don't wanna buy phone in a hurry. I really got frustrated with my present one with 1 GHz procy which get hand many a time. I see my phone ringing buy cant receive it. SO I will take time to decode my next phone. I want a proper lag free. no iPhone

In dual sim category HTC Desire 500 is also a good phone, can be bought for around 18-18.5k.
Don't know about its performance in detail.

That phone is crap...........Even 701 is crap for its price
S4 Mini is much better. The cheapest HTC phone that can compete with it is One Mini but its priced at 30k+ :shock:

(excluding One X & One X+, if they are still available somewhere).

@OP: S4 Mini's recent price cut makes it the right phone for u........ Check its reviews & buy it !!

It has only 4GB internal memory (which may be a cause of worry for apps if there is no app2sd) compared to 8GB of S4 mini. Also camera of S4 mini would be much better. Don't see the megapixels. My phone has better camera than Canvas 4's 13MP cam. S4 Mini's camera would be better than even my N4's camera, so another advantage.
Also no one (except Nokia) can beat Samsung's A.S.S.
Another important info. for you: There is network video calling options enabled in Samsung's phones i.e. you can have video calling feature without using internet(This is so because android doesn't support it natively, I'm missing it very much in my N4 as my home town has poor internet speed)

it is using a 2 year old cpu .. the cpu is nova thor 8520 same cpu as xperia U/P just a bit overclocked to 1.2

very crappy performance.. even games like subway surfer might lag...

guys why are you suggesting galaxy s4 mini ? he made it clear he doesn't want a crappy looking phone.. samsung phone looks like ****.. the best phone i liked in samsung look wise has been galaxy s2..

I am once again telling you there is no better phone than htc desire 601

PErformance + Premium looks ( white) + durability + awesome screen

it's a bit overpriced though..

+1 S4 Mini

if you do not want lag or slowdowns then do not go with quad cortex A7 based cpu.. go with fast dual core krait cpu.. if you still want cortex A7 then go with snapdragon ( moto g ) at least...

you are saying you can wait then wait new mobiles will be announced in jan/feb at least 20-30 new models will be announced in ces and mobile world congress ... those will be faster and better and more options of design,camera at the same price etc...

also most of them will be launched with android 4.4 kit kat

android 4.4 is the lightest and fastest android os made till date that eliminates lag completely .. slowdowns or lag will be now a thing of past..

see the demo on your model

Hi Guys, new phones are launched and going to me launched this month.
I have shortlisted Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and Moto G dual SIM. Which one will be better. Screen size does not matter unless it's smaller than 4.5"
I have no idea about mobile CPUs but I want new features and lag-free performance.

both have same CPU,gpu .. so both will perform same .. both should be lag free as long as you don't multitask heavily..

if you don't Care about camera and Expandable storage go with moto g ... if you want good cam go with grand 2..
grand 2 will get 4.4 in 3 months , moto g will come with 4.4 preloaded
both of them will be lag free on 4.4 ..

grand 2 is not worth more than 19k max
so it is overpriced right now...
I would suggest to wait till 25 Feb.. New and better options will come..

I think I will have to end up buying micromax canvas 4. Coz every good brands are showing their nakhra.
Grand 2 overpriced, No gorilla glass, no NFC, Moto G is delaying day by day, Nexux 5 no Dual SIM, why don't they have dual SIM Nexus. Nokia is long dead

Why r u not considering S4 Mini?
Moto G event is on feb 5, so waiting for 2 weeks is not a bad idea as you are getting a great phone for the price
