We tested the best dual-SIM Android phones, and these are the ones you should buy in 2025

Importantly, all the core features and specs have seen some improvements. This includes a more sensible cover screen that feels plucked from a traditional smartphone, a chipset that outperforms the silicon in the Fold 6, and a camera array that finally brings foldables up to speed with Samsung’s regular flagship phones.

This all comes at a cost, though — quite literally. At a peep under $2,000, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is more of an investment than a smartphone has ever been. Factor in the remaining chinks in its armor, like the missing S Pen support and tardy charging speeds, and you’re still hamstrung in some aspects.

Nevertheless, if a book-style fold is on your wishlist and you have the cash to make your dreams come true, I recommend the Fold 7 as your dual-SIM phone of choice.

As a flip fold, the Ultra’s party piece is its remarkable 7-inch display that refreshes at 165Hz. But, if you don’t need all those pixels, the external 4-inch cover panel is large enough and bright enough to send texts, check notifications, and use as a selfie mirror.

Speaking of cameras, the Ultra offers photographers a solid imaging base. With a large 4,700mAh battery and dizzying 68W wired charging, it’s the perfect phone for long calls and even longer adventures.

Google has invested in several areas, including photography and battery capacity, for the actual phone. The XL now packs a 5,200mAh reservoir, the largest battery ever in a Pixel smartphone. The camera array is headlined by a 50MP main sensor, with a 48MP 5x periscope lens and a 48MP ultrawide in support. We’ve noticed significant improvements in color science on this handset compared to the Pixel 9 series.

Of course, Google’s biggest draw is its Pixel-exclusive features, which now includes Camera Coach to help novices snap the perfect shot and Magic Cue, which acts as a smart context-aware information recommendation service.

There’s very little that Google’s mid-range contender does wrong. In fact, if value is your barometer, it may just be the best phone of 2025. It offers a solid bump-free dual camera array, a roomy 5,100mAh battery, and a spacious 6.3-inch screen.

At a smidge under $500, the Pixel 9a is an excellent, affordable dual-SIM Android phone that’ll be supported well into the next decade.

For starters, it makes no concessions for performance and was among the first devices to run the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Most current titles will run quickly and smoothly, while its 5,800mAh battery takes a fair while to drain completely. As a gaming phone, its camera hardware is surprisingly serviceable, while its video stabilization makes it a great live-action camera in a pinch.

The ROG Phone 9 Pro will likely soon make way for its successor, and considering its relatively lofty price, it might be a tough pill to swallow. But if you are looking for a pure gaming phone that also excels as a pocket companion, this is the device to purchase.
