Either or. Sony phones still cost and arm, a leg and your left kidney though.

Xperia 10 is their mid-range line. Got mine unlocked for 500CAD.

Right, that’s true. My main concern is that I need to work with 3 SIM cards regularly (German, Chinese, Malaysian) and already have to either hot swap or use a spare phone, so I’d really want to see a phone that offers a standalone SD slot without compromising at least dual SIM.

I’ve just got myself one of the aftermarket eSIM add-on cards from 5ber.com which seems to be working fine, but both my Malaysian and Chinese ISP don’t offer the functionality at all just yet. Ideally I’d want to have all 3 profiles on one, then the dual SIM wouldn’t be as needed as it is now.

I don’t know any phone that has dualsim and micro SD, but Sony atleast offer a toolless sim tray, so you don’t need a needle to remove it

So technically if a phone has a dual SIM slot where the second slot is shared between SD card or SIM, you can still use both SIMs and an SD card. There are little adapter ribbons that allow you to do so. One of my previous phones was a Huawei Mate 8 that I did that with.

Would that all still fit into the SIM slot, or will the card dangle outside? Sounds interesting for sure, I’ll have a look.

Currently I’m using an external SSD that I can plug into the USB-C port, but it’s a bit bulky even with a small form factor.
