Hi peeps.. I am looking for a good 'value for money' phone (no hard price point in mind but maybe sub $350) with dual physical sims. I find a physical sim easier to deal with than an e-sim, especially for an elderly user. Thanks in advance!

To give some examples of great value for money phones in their respective times that I have come across/used in the past:

  • Poco X3 Pro
  • Xiaomi MiA1

Looking for something similar that works fine in Australia (after 3G shutdown etc) but I am not too familiar with the latest models in the market so I will appreciate some recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

    I got a Poco X6 5G for <$400, I've seen the Pro version ~$250-350 here since.

      I notice it's not as popular as Poco X3 Pro.. those deals have very few upvotes. Any reason? Do Aussie sellers sell it or is AliExpress the only way to buy? I hope it works on 5G well, unlike Poco X3 Pro.

        Everyone seems to want an iphone,
        I got the Global version through their au site, works fine. Only get 4G signal at my location but phone has 5G capability.

    Nokia C01 Plus probably under $100

    Samsung A25 $337 using the price beat button is the best physical dual SIM option available currently under $350.

      This looks good but I would probably need 256GB.

        It has a microSD card slot. Otherwise, you will have to wait for a sale and spend more on Nothing 2a or 3a as those are the only other good phones with dual nano SIM available.

            @virhlpool: The tag didn't work. All stores and Australian review websites say it is eSIM.

    Motorola Moto G75

    • virhlpool on 14/03/2025 - 12:00

      It doesn't have two physical sims. One e-sim and one physical sim.

      • ifuggedxyz on 14/03/2025 - 15:08

        SIM Card
        Hybrid Dual SIM7 (2 Nano SIMs or 1 Nano SIM + 1 microSD)

        Specs from Motorola Australia website here

        Is the website inaccurate?

        • virhlpool on 14/03/2025 - 17:10

          I don't know mate, but all the deals for Moto G75 listed on OzB mention 1 Nano SIM + 1 e-SIM so I guess the model available in AU is that. I haven't found them saying 2 Nano SIMs.

          @shxhshzhz Do you know about this? Thanks!
