Samsung installs two camera modules in the device for occasional snapshots and internet calls. We do not really understand why there are still so few devices with this feature on the market and why it is completely omitted in high-end smartphones. The dual SIM feature works very well in everyday use and provides the user with many advantages. This selection has been implemented in the vertical slider so that it is possible to switch between cards quickly. The status bar also indicates which one of the two cards is currently the standard card for sending SMS or accessing mobile internet. Vice versa, it is possible to choose which number is to be used for calling while dialing the contact's telephone number. Consequently, it is possible to be available under both telephone numbers. That means that both SIM cards are connected to their respective network. The PINs of both SIM cards have to be entered directly behind each other - and then the next feature is noticed: there are two reception indicators in the status bar. It is already clear when entering the PIN that this is not a normal phone.

The software implementation is at least just as interesting as the feature itself. The smartphone is currently available in "pure white". It is comfortable to hold and is easy to use with one hand due to the low width and height. Also, it is not as wide (63 mm) or as high (122 mm). The Galaxy S DUOS is not as slim with 10.5 mm as the Galaxy S2 (8.5 mm) or S3 (8.6 mm). However, we see clear differences in the dimensions. The device looks a lot like the Galaxy S3 due to its design and the buttons' positioning. Both the volume rocker's and power button's pressure point is good as usual and the home button's pressure point feels even better. All gaps are even and the device's workmanship is absolutely meticulous. The casing's rear also defies selective pressure. Since Samsung is adept at using poly-carbonates, we do not discover any flaws in terms of stiffness or workmanship on this smartphone. The silver-colored plastic bezel's surface texture strongly resembles brushed aluminum. Owing to the marginally protruding display bezel, the Galaxy S DUOS does not completely rest on the display. As usual for this device category, a glare-type screen is installed, so a micro-fiber cloth should always be at hand for wiping off annoying fingerprints. This regrettably cannot be said about the screen.

A plus point that pleases us is the matte-white battery lid, because fingerprints and micro-scratches virtually remain invisible. That is 13 grams less than Samsung's Galaxy S3 flagship product.
The total weight, including the battery, is 120 grams. The display bezel and the entire casing are made of plastic, which naturally has an effect on the weight. Samsung also sticks to its line with this device and does not use metal on the casing's exterior, unlike frequently seen in competitors (e.g. Our review reveals how our test device, Samsung's Galaxy DUOS, fares with its hardware and particularly just how viable the dual SIM feature is in everyday use.
However, it is striking that none of the available devices are high-end smartphones, like for example Samsung's Galaxy S3. Dual SIM devices are also often used in cases where an employer supplies a mobile phone contract and the employee wants to use a private contract next to it.Īn increasing number of smartphones that feature dual SIM technology are found on the market for the reasons mentioned above. So you can, for example, browse the internet with the SIM card of a foreign provider when you are abroad and do not have to inconveniently exchange the cards. The device can accommodate two SIM cards and dial into the respective network at the same time. Dual SIM smartphones have a clever solution for such dilemmas. Everyone probably knows this problem: you do not want to leave your cellphone at home when travelling to another country but do not want to pay steep roaming prices.
