Revision history [back]

I rephrase this question because it is specific to the next phone.

Someone suggested creating an Other Half with an additional SIM slot, and while that would be OK for the current phone which is not dual SIM, it is not ideal because you want to swap TOH's for colouring, and normally third party TOH's that you also want to use will not have it.

It was also not previously indicated that it took quite some time for dual SIM phones to catch up with 3G, and that they are not usually LTE (I think Samsung has reached this milestone now).

LTE is now a necessity is some places, so a dual SIM phone that is only 3G is no longer acceptable.

Also, the phone should be able to multiplex the data connection between the 2 SIMs, otherwise when you make one of them active, you lose the Whatsapp connectivity registered on the other number, for example (I understand Nokia had been able to accomplish this).
