Dual Active SIM phones.
Discussion
I would like to find a phone that doesn't just have dual SIM (standby) capability but where both SIMs are active, giving me the freedom to disable the secondary one when I have finished my day. More specifically, be able to receive calls on both numbers as and when required.
I currently have an Elephone P9000 that has dual SIM capability but it is very slow and frustrating to switch between the two.
So far, I can only see that Asus have this feature with their Zenfone 2 and 3 models. More specifically the deluxe and ultra versions.
Unless it is a hidden Android feature that I have completely missed, what other mid-high end handsets are there out there that allow this feature to be utilised?

Thank you for your responses.
I was under the impression that the Moto phones were all dual standby.
Huawei Mate 8 & 9 have some reviews saying they are dual active, but nothing really delves into detail with them.
The only ones that have noted dual active status are the Asus Zenfone 3 deluxe and Ultra versions.
My preference for screen size is 5.5 inch plus. Obviously the higher the spec, the better.
Oneplus 3 looks like a good contender, but again I assumed it was dual standby? Happy to be corrected by current users. I see that there is a Oneplus 3T available now with upgraded specs over the 3.

147GTA, I know what you mean.It's quite a task of trying to find a decent handset.
MG ( plus others), thank you. I'll definitely look into the 1+3, although I may hold out a little bit longer for the 1+3T.
Steve, could you please confirm that the Honor 8 is dual active? I think its the same as the Mate series but I can't confirm if they are dual active too.
The larger the screen, the better.

Thank you DL.
I see an issue with my current setup if only 2G reception is received on one of the SIMs. I have my personal number via GiffGaff, who use O2 with which I use for calls and data. My 2nd SIM is with Three, who don't have a 2G frequency but I need to be able to make calls on, also sometimes using it for data (will be everyday). Sometimes I may not have the reception from the O2 SIM, so having the other slot active would allow for a "seamless" connection.
