What do you think of this phone? Better option available?

The phone I'm referring to is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W3WTLCG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_imb_mini_detail&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

I'm looking for a good cellphone that can allow me to use both a Mexican and a USA sim card. I would love if it was something actually good and not only able to take two sim cards, I was looking at this phone at the cheaper side but I'm open to more expensive suggestions... 

 

 

Powerful 1.5 GHz, 64-bit Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, for smooth multitasking and on-screen scrolling

Dual SIM card design gives you the choice of 2 phone numbers, and supports all GSM 4G LTE networks in the United States

High-quality visual clarity with a 5-inch HD Corning Gorilla Glass 3 IPS touchscreen display with 1280 x 720 resolution 
13MP rear-facing BSI camera and 5MP front-facing camera; enhanced low-light performance and after-effects to personalize your captures

7.6mm ultra-slim uni-body and 2.75mm narrow bezel design offer best experience for one-hand operation

 

edit: " right now I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for the US and an iPhone 6 for Mexico, I know I won't be able to get the same performance with a single phone using two sim cards but at least something not too bad. I cross the border between San Diego and Tijuana all the time and it is a pain to carry two phones. "

It does look good, even better in White I believe, but would I want to get a solid phone all around, right now I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for the US and an iPhone 6 for Mexico, I know I won't be able to get the same performance with a single phone using two sim cards but at least something not too bad.

Do you know if there is anything better out there I should be checking out before making the purchase? 

 

Im no phone guru or anything, I just stick to my Samsung phones usually haha.

 

I remember Linus said he loved the Samsung S6 Active but i think you can only get it through specific telecoms.

 

Other than that if you want a good phone but not too pricy should look into the One Plus One.

an FYI about the Zenfone 2

there's 3 versions of it

ZE500CL : dual core 1.6 Ghz atom , 2500mAh , PowerVR SGX544MP2

, meh 720p display

ZE550ML : quad core 1.8 Ghz atom , 3000mAh , PowerVR G6430 (good gpu) , good 720p display

ZE551ML : this one comes in 2 variants - 32GB or 64GB internal storage , quad core 2.3Ghz atom , 3000mAh , PowerVR G6430 (good gpu) , good 1080p display

 

a comparison between all 3(click) spec wise

 

imo i'd go for ZE550ML or the 32GB ZE551ML

CPU : i5 4670k @ 4.2Ghz | Cooler : NH-D14 | GPU : Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 [OC] | MB : Asus Z87-Pro | RAM : A-DATA 8GB 1600Mhz CL9 XPG Black | SSD : 850Evo 250GB
