I was looking for a phone I could collect from a store nearby (Argos, Currys, CPW) when I noticed the Asus Zenfone 5 4G is only £99.99 at Currys. It is available for Pay & Collect at my local in Derby, but may be available for Reserve & Collect at other stores.
Specifications look decent with only battery life (~1 day) being a bit low. I did lots of reading online of reviews and people seem generally very happy with this phone. It should be a nice upgrade from my (now faulty) Sony Xperia E4G. One of the reviews I saw said the Zenfone 5 LTE is $250, so can't be bad for under £100!
Mine is due for collection from store on Monday. Hope this helps someone looking for a decent screen-sized phone that won't break the bank.

Wow a lot of phone for the money and personally and this is just my opinion I love Asus products.... they made the Nexus 7 which I had and loved and I have the Zen 305 laptop which I am very pleased with, if j didn't have the Samsung edge 6 plus I would buy this without hesitation. Heat from me

No mention of dual SIM specifications or reviews. So, unlikely. I'd have got it too if it were.
