Nice post but i got feedback from many of my friends that dual sim in Android gives some network problem, so its better to go for Single Sim on Android.
Yes, that’s good choice
Well! that’s not always the case, I already use Galaxy S Duos and it don’t show any type of network problem for m,e at all! Btw, nice post!
There is a huge number of bugs Dual sim Android Smartphones

HTC are giant in the smartphone business, I am not surprise if they are counted worthy. Thanks for showing up here.
i use samsung ace duos phone…that is really a smart phone..the article is really interesting…i love to read this…thanks for sharing…
Great I landed-up on your site since I am planning to get a mid-range android SmartPhone with dual sim and good quality camera. I was confused between Samsung galaxy ace duos and HTC desire V. You sorted my issue. I am definitely going to get HTC Desire V now since it provides more features than expected in pretty good range. Thanks for the share!
You are welcome brother, all the smartphones are just great, it is only your desired features that will help you in the selection. Enjoy!
Micromax and Spice smartphones does not provide sufficient features and quality if you are looking for low-budget phones in that. Samsung and HTC are best low-range and mid-range smartphones. One of my favorite in low-budget is Samsung Galaxy Y-Pro Duos which has capacitive touch screen with qwerty keypad, 3MP cam and available only in Rs.9, 500.
The Galaxy Y is quite impressive, my girlfriend bought one, gave her dad, and surprisingly she went for the same phone for replacement. It means its just wonderful.
I really love the LG Optimus 3D phone and it is my dream phone which I will surely purchase.The best feature that I would always wish in a smart phone was the 3D feature and behold it is come.Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
You are welcome Smith, I love something with great features yet with a very reasonable budget. Enjoy yourself while the your device arrives.
You are welcome brother, all the smartphones are just great, it is only your desired features that will help you in the selection. Enjoy!
I love Samsung products, I think the Samsung Galaxy Y Duos is very interesting, on the other the price is quite cheap, and small dimensions, making it easier to use.
Samsung makes outstanding products, they really want to stand in the competition of the smartphone industry. There device are always coming to be nice. Thanks for commenting.
One important feature to consider while buying dual SIM phones is the “Dual-active” feature. Phones with dual-standby is almost as good as ones with single SIM! Dual-Standby: Only one SIM can be used at one time and the other one would appear out of reach if one SIM is in a call.
I think technology is advancing beyond seizing one band. Dual SIM phones works perfectly and good.
I really liked the HTC Desire V because of its good features, You have shared a good post. The only disadvantage of these phones is that sometimes they tend to give network problems due to two SIM cards of different networks.
Not really, there network doesn’t really affect each other, the network hooks occurs when the service provider fails. Thanks for commenting.
The new Galaxy Grand Duos is the best until now.. You should add it man!!
Thanks for the update. We will see how to smuggle it in the list.
I really love, Samsung Galaxy Y and I also use it. But, I think, Sony Tipo is also an awesome android phone which supports dual-SIM functionality.
Thank you

Dual sim is very much beneficial, I like HTC. It’s a great way of saving money by combining two different plans or service providers, so you can have a work and home account on the same device or share the phone with someone else.
Samsung is too far in race with design,navigation and a well competitive price
I like the samsungs better than the others. Somehow they have managed to beat Nokia in the Indian market and are soaring higher than Apple. Thanks to android superior performance can now be bought afford-ably.
Samsung Dual is the ideal Android choice of in this time and this price is very comfortable
Yes you are right Syed

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware that the Galaxy line made a dual sim cell phone. After reading your blog, I am now going to consider purchasing one. Will having a dual sim card phone allow the user to have 2 different phone lines on the same phone?
