My BLU Pure XL has two mini-sim slots.  I was using an LG G3 and then 
got a G5 when the G3 started to give me trouble.  The G5 was a nice 
phone - until it completely died within three weeks of having it.  At 
that point I gave up on the LGs.  The LGs use micro-sims so I had to use 
an adapter to use the micro-sim in the BLU phone.
