1) Dual SIM
2) Large-ish battery (2000mAH+)
3) More RAM (prefer 2GB)
4) MicroSD

Hoping to spend around 500-600 tops for a secondary phone for use when roaming. Any recommendations? Faster/more often updates would be a big plus point.

Currently looking at the Honor 3c, ASUS ZenPhone, Xiaomi Note/1s.

1) I don't really need the LTE of the Honor 6... and the price is way above what I want to spend on a secondary phone anyway.

2) Honor 3C definitely is the most attractive option right now except it's a little hard to find... I might settle for the 3C Lite even though it only has 1GB RAM. Will definitely keep looking for the 3C though...

3) Zenphone Intel SoC - Is the app incompatibility really that bad/noticeable/common? I've never used an Intel based phone before, so never experienced anything like that before.

4) Xiaomi Note - Just like the 3C... attactive, but hard to find. I like the gigantic battery (and slightly larger screen). Might go try luck in Low Yat/Digital Mall and see which one I can find first... Note or 3C.

From the Honor 3C thread here... looks like no Google Maps/Play on the units sold by DirectD/1Gadget. The 3C Lite version doesn't really appeal to me with less RAM

Looks like this is the most readily available phone that fits my needs.

Found a couple of sellers on lelong (techhypermart and handphonemalaysia)... no idea how to check properly if they are legit units... Since when buying phones became so complicated

Going to try this again... with a slightly larger budget...

1) Dual SIM
2) Large-ish battery (2000mAH+)
3) More RAM (prefer 2GB or more)
4) MicroSD

Now looking at up to RM1k tops for a secondary phone for use when roaming. Any recommendations? Faster/more often updates would be a big plus point.

I really wanted to get the 3G Xiaomi Note, but it's like trying to find a unicorn in a kandang lembu in Bangsar. Just want to see if there any other options if I stretch my budget a little bit more.
