[2] In contrast with other Dual SIM Samsung models, this phone is a part of the high-end "S" series.

It features a rounded, polycarbonate chassis, faux metal trim and a removable rear cover, typical of most Samsung smartphones since the Galaxy S III.

Optionally it can receive two calls simultaneously, but this requires divert-on-not-reachable to be set up on each number and is subject to availability from the carrier and may incur additional charges.

A limitation of the phone is that only one SIM can be active on UMTS (and therefore data) at a time and so it may be unsuitable for certain combinations of networks.

The S Duos 2 ships with Android 4.2.2 "Jelly Bean" and Samsung's TouchWiz software.
