Â*Active, standby or hybrid? Maybe the Virgin trick doesn't work on a standby basis, and all the hybrid I've seen today are also standby. Â*If I add in my requirement for a replaceable battery, 32GB, active dual-SIM, I think that narrows the field to zero. Â*Accepting a hybrid dual-SIM doesn't help, unfortunately (with 32GB, IÂ* probably wouldn't need an SD card). Many of the OnePlus handsets are dual SIM and have been for several years.Â* Both SIMs are active in terms of calls and SMS,Â* 1both can do 2G-4G.Â*Â* You have an easy toggle to switch which one is currently used for data.Â* No replaceable battery though. Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. But they are about three times as much as I'd want to spend. So the budget is around £200? More like £150. The OnePlus stuff is good value but admittedly not cheap anymore (ie for £600 you get what you'd pay maybe £800-£900 for a Samsung or similar). I'd never pay that for a Samsung (or anything else). Having said that, I've got a locked 8GB Samsung J3 here for a project, and if the client paid more than £100 for that, they were robbed! What's the desire for a removeable battery these days? I get that batteries die progressively after a couple of years or more, but until then portable power banks are higher capacity and more flexible (you can use them with multiple things!) than a spare battery. I suppose if there was a thin power bank I could superglue to the back of a phone, and have an unobtrusive permanently connected cable, that might just substitute for having a phone where I can change a normal battery in under a minute. But I suspect that the power bank wouldn't do a pass-through for connecting to the phone's internal storage. How do you suggest fixing that? The product you want is a charging case; they’re available for some smartphones but not all. The case has a built-in external battery, and you can use the case’s usb socket as if it was the phone’s one. However they’re *considerably* more expensive than a plain external battery of the same capacity (like ~10x the price). Anna Noyd-Dryver |
