Looking to buy a duel sim phone, need advice. - General Questions and Answers

K I want to buy a duel sim Android phone, I'd like it to be 4G. If never had a duel sim phone before so any help/advice would be great!
It been looking at some unbranded Chinese smartphones, wud I be silly to buy one of them?? Like vidz iv looked at, they seem good and cheap!! If I was to buy one has anyone got recommendations of ones that are good? Also can they be rooted and is there custom ROMs for them?
Now mainstream brands with duel sim... I like my moto phones, I have had the G, G 4G and the E. Is there a G with duel sim and 4G?? I have a budget of between $200/250 I'm open to more recommendations then the moto ranges, any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks.....

Omnia 2 VS LG Lg VS75o

Hi, I recently bought an Omnia 2 since i was told by the seller, that I can put a sim card in it, though after receiving it, it was the Omnia i920 which was CDMA and did not have any sim slot. I can exchange it with the LG VS750, or perhaps return it. I am not too sure, since it has a lower camera and a smaller screen. Please let me know if you guys think I should do this exchange and if it would work with the fido network or if I should return it ($120) and buy a different phone in that price range.
Also was wondering if I can get custom themes, or android (or win 7) on the LG VS750 since there's alot of roms for the omnia 2. If anyone has these phones, please let me know. Thanks.
Ya I know, my price range is kind of low, but that's all I have to spend on a phone need the rest for uni books .
please let me know what you guys think of each phone or if you have another smartphone option in my price range ($120 or so). My last phone was a nokia 5200, so any smart phone is an upgrade .

First Quadcore phone in US?

Does anyone have any ideas as to when the first quadcore phone will be released in the US?
Droid-life.com wrote about some leaked documentation about an HTC phone that appeared to have a quad core for Verizon. It sounds like a beast but not sure when it'll be released.

I always think Verizon because that's what I'm on, forgot you can use them on other carriers already.

He said in the United States..meaning carrier subsidized. The HTC One X in North America is dual core, as well as the SGSIII. This is due to the fact that previous quad core chips would not work with LTE and HSPA +42.
To the OP. The first one is supposed to be an upgraded HTC One X on T-mobile that will have a quad core chip.

not rly
The previous guys' answers are valid. There are already quad-cores, you just need to buy them from a resaler like expansys or negri. They're GSM only (since that's the world standard) and won't work with LTE (since no quad-cores have supported that until recently).

No ****. That was obviously not what the guy was asking. Everyone knows there are quad core phones for sale, and you can have them imported. He was asking for a phone that you can purchase in the United States, not import.
1. Buy international Galaxy S III i9300
2. Bring to US

if the dual sim is like sigle sim in all things( roms-performance-development)-you know for example galasy s and galaxy s dual arent like together-
i wana get dual sim
but if not.no problem.i will use single sim
imean aim asking you about the performance-roms- support -development
tnx again
It's like the single sim. It's not like Samsung which Dou's versions are different.

tnx bro
what about roms? which one is better? motorola or google play version?
generally nexsus are more better.cuse better support .but i dont know motorola
which one have better support for updates and what difference did you seen in motorola rom and google ?
Currently most ROMs only support single SIM variants with very limited support to dual sim devices or none at all, but this can change later.
The moto g runs stock android. Its not a custom skinned rom like HTC and Samsung like to do. So really, the only difference is the GPE doesn't have the 3 Motorola apps (migrate, help, and the better moto camera app). Also, the GPE will get updates a couple months before.
My suggestion is get the normal moto g because of the camera app is better. Though, really in day to day use, you'll never notice if its the normal one or the play edition.

3 actually usefull apps and also Regular Moto G has an F2fs file system which was first used in moto x and promises faster random data reads ( faster read performances )
And about the updates....You can be sure that as soon as Moto G gpe would get any s/w update...it will be ported soon enough to regular one too

>Dual vs Single: Dual SIM
Why?
Because you will have space for one extra SIM if some day you need it, no harm in having two slots while if you have only one you might need to buy a new phone just for an extra SIM.
>Google Play vs Moto Version: Google Play
Why?
You will get unlocked Boot loader with warranty which you loose out in Moto Version in case you unlock your Boot loader.
Its like they unlock the boot loader for you with the warranty intact.
This will allow you to play with different ROMs without loosing out your warranty.:laugh:
For software support, Google ROM support will always be better than Motorola any day.
Further, in case of Hardware issues you shall be contacting Motorola in both cases so you aren't loosing out nothing
by buying a Google play edition.
Verdict: Dual SIM Google Play Edition :good:
Edit: as mentioned by @jaspreet997
Such phone is not available and also I have checked up the same.
So then opt for Simple SIM GPE untill and unless a dual SIM is very very important to you.
Are there any dual sim gpe being sold anywhere? I think not
tanx again
generally single sims have better development(i dont know about motorola).if its true on motorola.its more important than one sim more
in my country motorola havent eny office and the waranty isnt meaning here!
i think moto version will get updates as soon as the GPE got
so the motorola one sim looks better
thank you all

Reading this I again realized how different we people are. Because I would vote for a single sim regular phone instead.
- Why single sim? Because of the fact there are much more roms supporting only the single sim variant. Of course there will be dual sim roms, but when? I dont know? If in a month, then thats good. If in six months, thats bad ... many of us dont usually keep devices like this more than a year and being without flashing half of the time - nope, thanks!
- Why regular? I like what (little) Ive heard abou F2FS. And I dont care about warranty - I already have no warranty for my phone because I screwed up the purchase ... but thats another story
So, my advice - unless you need dual sim (or are going to need it soon), get regular single-sim.
Or not, it doesnt really matter lol ...

Good points.
Regarding f2fs, how hard can it be to format a partition? I'm actually wondering the answer to this, as I have the GPE and it seems CM11 for the Moto G just went official. But like you said, it looks like the GPE and the dual-sim owners will have to wait longer.

Moto X Play arrives to Mexico

Since today, can be purchased from motorola Mexico, starting from $5,999.00
Anyone in Mexico want to help me buy one and ship to the US?
Can anyone confirm the Moto X Play sold in Mexico is the dual sim version? It's unbelievable how confusing Motorola's model # and specification pages are.

The Moto X Play in Mexico has dual nanoSIM, model XT1563
The mexico model should be good to go here in the states and be unlocked. I would also be interesting in a 32gb model. If someone has an address in mexico we can ship to and then ship it back to use here...thats all we would need

Is that because you have one in hand or just from the motorola.mx website? I chatted with the motorola latin america support and they said at the moment only the single sim version is available. If you go through motomaker it makes no mention of dual sim, nor in the any of the description content. You only see dual nanoSIM in the specs.

Yes I remember. I was going to get one from you but decided against it because of the hardware buttons. Atleast in Mexico we also have full access to the 32gb model and moto maker. It is the best option and if you can hook it up I know many people will be happy

This year we have the option to pay with paypal should be easier for anyone.

I already have it since thursday, and also I already used it in the US with a T-Mobile nanoSIM and on AT&T using a Telcel nanoSIM, in both cases I got 4G. So I can confirm that this phone has dual SIM

Yes I'm willing to try! The Mexican version is exactly what I'm looking for since it's not tied to any carrier and it will get updates directly from Motorola.

The experience with T-Mobile was really good, this phone has AWS band for T-Mobile 3G and all the bands in LTE for T-Mobile and AT&T, and even some Chinese LTE bands, and I guess this phone is really good for a backup phone, I still love my Nexus 6, but this phone holds his ground pretty good.

I got an invitation by Motorola, so when they announced the availability of this phone, also was available a few units for us at the time, but only in white or black, right now the only way to get it is via Moto Maker, takes around 10 days, in a few days it going to be available in Best Buy Mexico, but I don’t think the deliver to the US, usually we buy in the US or import from the US, not the other way around, I don’t think there is a good exporter to US

Question about the 32GB/3GB Variants

Hey guys,
So long story short, I had my trusty G3 die on me a couple months ago. I then got a hold of a practically new only ever used once G Flex for a couple hundred, and I have to say that in all honesty, it's one of the best phones I've ever used.
But now I've gotten to the point where I need more than a 720p screen, internal storage with no SD Card slot and a better camera. As well as a general improvement in specs. The G Flex 2 perfectly fits what I want in a phone, everything about it is exactly what I want...Theres just one problem.
I had the Europe/International/D855 variant of the G3, but the EU variant of the Flex 2 doesn't come with 3gb ram. Only the US one does. So I'm wondering, would an unlocked US variant work in Australia where I live? Or is there a variant that would be better suited? As long as it's a 3GB/32GB one, I don't mind.
Cheers. Hopefully going to be joining you all soon.
Tl;DR: Will a US Variant work in Australia unlocked? Is there a variant that will work better?

Rather than try and guess what carrier you have or bands that they use vs what the phone supports, I'm gonna direct you here.
