Any comments from first hand experience?

The pros & cons?

Thank you.

Seriously !

Like other phones of late if you want to add an SD card you forfeit the second SIM !!!!

What brand of moron thought that up

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S Duos. Not sure how closely related that it to the phone you linked. Really only got it for the phone and occasional wi-fi so I haven't explored all the bells & whistles, but I like it.

I did install a SD card and one SIM, but I could install a second SIM if I wanted regardless of the SD. Not sure if that applies to the model you linked.

@Regyai - Yes. I agree with you 100% on that.

@Suradit69 - If you are referring to the Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562... I know 2 friends who has this. Only complain from them is that it becomes very slow. After a factory reset, it becomes normal.

As I a dont use a SD card, I bought an A5 today. The specs are good. Lets see how it performs !!!

Edit

The Duos S can have 2 SIMs + a SD Card

But the A5 cannot. Either the 2nd SIM or the SD Card.

My GF has a Samsung Grand 2 (recent model) and has both 2 sims and a sd card. You're sure you know where you talk about?

The second sim is a duo slot where the sd card lies on top of the sim.

Unlike the Samsung Grand 2 the Samsung Galaxy A5 (Duos) has a tray to which you can only put a SIM or SD card. Here's picture:

Finally bought an A5.

So far and no complaints, in fact it is good for the price.

Yes, I confirm - on the A5 it is either the 2nd SIM OR the SD card.

As I am not too interested in the SD card, this is perfect!

If I come across any hiccups, shall update here.
