It was expected that even the Android manufacturers will make their own version of the dual-SIM phones. Several years ago, this technology was only available on featured phones. The other day we featured Top 5 Smartphones for P5,000 to P7,000 and we thought why not if we also list the Top 5 dual-SIM android in the country. This will guide our friends and readers which of them is really affordable and worth buying these days.
