Types of phones for two SIM cards
Smartphones with two identification modules may differ in the way they support:
- Two full-fledged SIM cards. This means that the phone can work with two modules and a memory card. The presence of three slots in modern smartphones is becoming increasingly rare, but this is the most convenient option for the average user.
- Combined support. Most smartphones have a hybrid slot. This means that one port is for a SIM card, and the second is for either another SIM card or a memory card. The user chooses between additional memory and a second SIM card. To comfortably use a device with a combined slot, it is advisable to take a modification with a large amount of memory.
- Dual Sim, but without microSD card. This type is the least common, because for manufacturers it makes no difference how to make the second slot. Mostly they create support for both SIM and microSD, and the user decides what he needs most.

How to choose a smartphone
Today, the mobile device market is so wide that it is almost impossible to make a choice in favor of a specific model. Therefore, first of all, decide on your budget and start considering options in this price category.
Pay attention to the case material. Many models now have a beautiful and stylish body made of glass. Fingerprints will be immediately visible on such panels, and it is quite easy to cause mechanical damage. There are also plastic options. Such models do not look very respectable, but they are more resistant to mechanical stress. Although today there is a large selection of protective cases with beautiful designs that will help keep the case intact.
The battery capacity is responsible for the battery life. Therefore, based on your needs, choose the model that optimally meets this parameter. Also, now most options have a fast charging function. Which allows you to fully restore the battery charge in a short time.
Also, do not forget about the screen diagonal. If you mostly have to work with one hand, then do not choose a model with a large diagonal. It will be very inconvenient to use. But if you like to read books using your smartphone or work with text documents, then the small display size will be inconvenient. In addition, with a large diagonal screen it will be convenient to watch videos or play games, but do not forget about where you will wear the device. For example, a smartphone that is too large may not fit into your pocket.
Display resolution plays an important role in the price of the device. Models with 4K resolution are now gaining popularity. They have a very high pixel density per 1 inch. But this will only be noticeable if you look at the screen almost closely. Since we usually use the device at a distance of about 30 cm from our eyes, the difference will not be noticeable to us.
Also, camera performance is not the least important. But here you should not pay attention to the number of megapixels indicated by the manufacturer. Since the result will depend not only on this indicator. In this case, it is better to turn to reviews on the Internet and compare the quality of the images.
Depending on the purpose for which you are purchasing this gadget, pay attention to the amount of built-in memory and the maximum allowable amount of built-in memory.
There are also models with one or two SIM cards. If you are more comfortable using two different operators, then the second option will be very useful. But some models combine a slot for an additional SIM card with space for a flash card. In this case, you should take a model with a large built-in memory or abandon the second operator.
Samsung Galaxy M21
Our TOP continues - Samsung Galaxy M21.
This is an excellent dual-SIM smartphone, in which, moreover, you can install a memory card without sacrificing space for one of the SIM cards.
The main feature of the Galaxy M21 is a 6000 mAh battery, which will provide a couple of days of operation without recharging.
It is also worth noting that this smartphone has a large and bright 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen, on which you will be comfortable reading, communicating in instant messengers, watching videos and pages on the Internet.
The smartphone's 48-megapixel main and 20-megapixel front cameras provide good image quality. The camera app has a variety of useful settings and modes, including Night, which improves the quality of photos taken in low light. The selfie camera also does not disappoint and will allow you to take clear and bright pictures.
Well, as for performance, the Galaxy M21 boasts an Exynos 9611 processor, which, combined with 4 GB of RAM, ensures fast operation of the interface and applications, and also allows you to comfortably play most games.

The best inexpensive smartphones with two SIM cards (priced up to 10,000 rubles)
If you use your phone primarily for calls, sending SMS, communicating in instant messengers and social networks, as well as navigation or other simple tasks, then you are unlikely to need a powerful hardware platform, an impressive camera or a high-resolution display. All these extras that are unnecessary for communicating with loved ones and colleagues only increase the cost of the smartphone, but do not bring any practical benefit. A high-quality smartphone with two SIM cards that can satisfy all your needs can be purchased within 10 thousand rubles.
ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser ZC551KL
The Asus Zenfon smartphone for 2 SIM cards has a classic design and a fairly large 5.5-inch screen, which displays a high-contrast image with a quality of 1920 by 1080 pixels at a high density of 401 PPI.

The camera on the back cover with a 13 megapixel matrix will be appreciated by connoisseurs of high-quality photographs. In turn, the 8-megapixel camera located on the front panel of the gadget allows you to take excellent self-portraits. The smartphone on Android 6.0 shows stable and fairly fast operation. The non-removable battery type is designed for 3000 mAh and is recharged via a standard micro-USB connector.
Results
Over the course of this year, we have tested about twenty models of DualSIM smartphones, some of which have already been discontinued, while others, on the contrary, have just appeared on sale. The most optimal of them can rightfully be considered Samsung devices, in particular the most advanced model from this manufacturer - Galaxy S Duos, which offers wide functionality and an excellent interface. By purchasing devices from this manufacturer, you can be sure that for at least a year you will always use a smartphone on the current version of the operating system. For a more affordable alternative, you can consider Fly smartphones. They do not have such a rich set of pre-installed software and offer pure Android, but they are interesting because they have good performance and are able to record video with good quality. HTC dual-SIM smartphones stand apart. The debut model has quite a lot of disadvantages, and is inferior to the Samsung Galaxy S Duos in camera quality, price and, importantly, operating time, but for some, the HTC Sense interface is still a strong argument in favor of HTC. The most expensive DualSIM smartphone in existence is practically devoid of all the disadvantages of the younger model, but not everyone can afford it.
