Hey guys, I'm looking for a phone with dual sim 4G/4G capability.
Do these exist for budget consumers?
Or should I be looking at 3G/4G dual sim phones?
Was hoping to spend around 250 AUD (maybe my budget is too low?)

They are starting to exist with newer chipsets (Snapdragon 820)
Maybe the Moto G4 Plus dual but triple check any phone that claims to be 3g/4g dualNewest is Oneplus 3
There are no 4G/4G dual sim phones, only 4G/3G, and one sim must be 4G for the other to be 3G. The 3G service is voice only, no data.
There are 2 chipsets that support this, Snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 617.
So I guess you'll be looking at some Snapdragon 617 phones with dual sim.
These are only coming out now, like the Moto G4 series, which I believe are not yet available locally.So if you want it immediately, you'd be looking at Snapdragon 820 phones, the cheapest of which is around $420 and must be purchased from overseas.
No such thing. Sorry human not that smart enough
Moto G 3rd Gen is the best way to go
Right, there appears to be a lot of confusion on this topic. As someone who has bought many, many dual sim phones for personal/work purposes I have the following advice;
The vast majority of 'current' dual sim phones will be 4g/2g. I.e, 4g lte on one sim, and 2g on the second sim.
Only recently with the SD820 release, have we seen 4g/3g. I.e 4g lte one one sim, 3g on the other sim. The only phone that i could find readily available is the Xiaomi mi5. As an owner of this phone, i can confirm that i get 4g on one sim, and 3g on the other. You'll note that this is becoming increasingly important for any dual sim user as i understand there are plans to switch off the 2g network in the next 12 months. You'll also note most major city metro/tunnels don't support 2g which is another driver for my mi5 purchase.
A lowest spec mi5 will cost minimum $450-500 for the 32gb model (note no SD card support). However i can confirm they are excellent phones.
I understand there will be more 4g/3g phones in the coming months, however I am yet to see or hear anything regarding a 4g/4g device.
Excellent information! Do you mind letting me know where you bought your Mi5 from? And was the phone ready for use when you receive it? Or you had to reinstall/update its operating system to get rid of the malwares that normally come with grey stock phones?
Got the 64gb version for $600 off Gumtree. Geek buying and gearbest sell them, but I'd be looking at eglobal and dwi digital cameras for the same ish price and better service, warranty, delivery time
I'm waiting for the day for a $250 Xiaomi phone to appear with 4G SIM1 / 3G SIM2 capability..
AFAIK they dont exist full stop.
My phone is 4G sim 1, and 2G sim 2
