No cons compared to single sim.

Pro that you can use two sims...except when you can't because you're using sim 2 slot for microSD card.

Also often sim 2 is voice/SMS only and not data.

Cons they have terrible cameras and Battery life but do agree with the pro's
Also not all have the 2 sim where you have to use one for the sd memory card there are ones where you get 3 slots 2 for sims and 1 for sd card.

Just looking for some points to help me decide where to buy a Moto G4, Tesco single SIM or Motorola UK dual SIM.

Lots of high-end phones have dual SIM versions, like LG G5, Xperia Z3+, HTC One E9s, some Samsungs. So you can get get good cameras and standard battery life.

They're just mostly not sold in the UK market, you have to import.

I have a Moto G 2nd gen (XT1068) with relatively low usage. One SIM is FreedomPop which gives me free data up to 200 MB/month. The other is Talkmobile Happy Hour (PAYG) for talk & text (10p/call, 4p/text).

That's not my experience with the Honor 7.

Camera is good - not flagship standard, but good. Battery is excellent and beats my old S6 hands down with the same usage and apps.

Also have the Honor 7. Very good camera. Maybe not the best but perfectly good for family snaps etc. Pulls in an excellent signal and is fast and snappy. Much as I prefer iOS and would like a smaller phone, this is ideal for me at the moment. I have my main number on VOD which rings anywhere and for data I have sim2 on 3 which is superb and cheap. Also have the benefit of a second number which I can give out to people I maybe don't want to have my main one.

Battery is superb as CB says. Easy 2 days on my average use.

I will go back to single sim at some point but at the moment it suits me down to the ground to be honest. Costs nothing to run on PAYG and is totally flexible.
