hello!
can you tell me please a phone with these characteristics?

  1. dual sim full active
  2. more than 3000mah battery
  3. 3GB or more RAM
thanks!
 
There's a dual-SIM version of the Sony Xperia Z3 available in some markets. Why is >3000mAh a requirement though? Capacity means nothing if the device isn't power efficient; it's like choosing a car based solely on the size of the fuel tank.
 
well, the most battery efficient then
but in most cases a 4000mah battery phone is better than a 3000mah phone
 
Stored power (Wh) would be a more useful measure of capacity than mAh, but the latter seems to have become the normally quoted measure. They are not equivalent because power depends on voltage as well as current, and thus on e.g. electrode materials. So it's not a given that say a 3,200 mAh pack actually stores more power than a 3,000 mAh one if they have different battery chemistries.

Then you have to consider, as Slug says, that a device using a less efficient SoC, more power-hungry display, less efficient radio transceiver or poorly-optimised software could very easily outweigh the difference in battery capacity. So I understand where you are coming from, but I'd not get too fixated on a single number that's only one part of the equation.

That said, Lenovo have in recent years released a couple of dual-SIM handsets with very large batteries - for example, the higher-end K80 meets your quoted specs. I've no idea what its actual performance is like, because these things tend to not make it into Western markets.

I would however avoid phones from unknown brands quoting superficially amazing specs at low prices - you really do get what you pay for, or a little less.
 
I note that you asked for the same advice here on May 31st. As that thread specifically discusses dual-SIM handsets I'm closing this one to avoid duplication and confusion.
