Probably the wrong time to say but.

Is or has there been any way I could purchase a new phone assign it my number and have 2 phones ringing at same time? I would have a side by side comparison in each pocket?

Like I buy pants. But 4 at the store and return 3

Hangouts dialer + Google Voice / Project Fi. That's my setup. Got 4 phone numbers, all buzz all of my devices including my computers.

I am sure there is a way to do that using VOIP or something to receive calls on both phones. But for most test cases, you don't need an active phone number on the phone, no? You can just buy the phone unlocked with no contract and test it out.

And text?

I assume I need a service provider.

In reading this I like my current phone but it would be cool to try this.

You can do exactly that with Google voice
