A right choice.

Cheng Gong (Jan 6, 2016) on Gadgets 360

Just bought one with 4 GB RAM 64GB ROM, 2 SIMs . Nice look, Fast charging, powerful battery ( worked for 3 days). It is really a right choice.

Mate 8 NXT- L29 Sim Cards & microSD tray(Dual SimCard model)

Momma 3kids (Apr 18, 2016) on Gadgets 360

The tray is for Sim Card & microSD card. If I put 2 SimCards, then no slot available for additional SD card? Is there any recommendations on how long for the first time charging after the battery drained out?
