Dual-core phones were considered a novelty in the world of smartphones just one year ago but since the start of 2012, they have suddenly conquered almost all of the mid-budget market. These phones can actually threaten the existence of cheaper smartphones.
Today, we thought of presenting you the list of best mid-budget dual-core android smartphones.
Sony Xperia U has the same familiar Boxy design which Sony has already used in Xperia S and Xperia P, which has received mixed reviews from users.
Sony Xperia U has got a 1GHz dual-core processor under its hood coupled with 512 Mb RAM and 8Gb limited memory. The display of the phone measures 3.5 inches and has a resolution of 854*480.
The back of the phone sports a 5mp camera with 720p video recording. The OS running is Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Ice Cream Sandwich about to be released. The phone costs Rs. 24,990 on homeshopping.pk.
Successor to the popular Ace, Galaxy Ace 2 has a 800Mhz dual-core processor and is coupled with 768 Mb Ram and 4Gb Internal storage (there’s a microSDslot as well).

And right they say that old is gold. LG Optimus 2X was the first phone of the world with a dual-core processor. The 1Ghz dual-core processor is backed with 512 Mb RAM.
The internal storage is 8Gb along with a microSD card slot. The screen measures 4 inches big with a resolution of 800×480.
The camera in this phone is of 8mp resolution with 1080p Full HD video recording. But as the phone is old, it has an uninspiring design. LG Optimus 2X runs on Gingerbread for now.
