Samsung Galaxy S Duos = poor man’s Samsung Galaxy S3.

I see similarities between Galaxy S Duos and Galaxy S3. Galaxy S Duos’ looks might be a selling point for me because it really looks like a miniature version of the Galaxy S3.

Price is a bit high for local consumers though. They might lower it down few months after the release.

HI, I would like to ask if its better to buy a huawei modem or i just use the 2nd slot sim for dual phones such as this galaxy duo for my internet sim? For sharing to my kids the internet (hotspot)? Which is better in terms of battery life? Speed of internet? Thanks.

3G on only 1 SIM makes these dead to me. Japan is 3G-only, data AND voice, and in the US more and more carriers are starting to shut down the GSM side of their networks too.
