I'm looking at new Android phones since the battery life on my 5-year-old phone is getting quite dismal and it seems to have a lot of issues running out of RAM lately.

There just don't seem to be very many phones with two sim slots AND a dedicated sd card slot these days. I need all of them since I have one sim for talking and texting and a separate limitless mobile broadband sim that can't make phone calls as well as a chunky SD card that I use for photos, video, media, game roms, etc. Unfortunately most lower-to-mid-range phones just have a hybrid slot at best (while high-end phones seem to have eliminated expandable storage completely.)

Basically, I'd have to ditch the internet, having extra storage or the phone's actual function as a fucking phone. The phones I found that do have the slots I need meanwhile somehow have worse specs than my current phone from 5 years ago agony

I guess I could always just carry two phones with me jokerfication

    On a more serious note there aren't even any 512gb phones in my price range currently. I'm seeing almost nothing but 128gb with a couple of 256gb outliers, and even a few 64gb phones for some absolutely bizarre reason. Who would pick one of these things in 2024 monke-beepboop

      Well in that case that sucks. There are those whacky adapters you can get that are supposed to allow you to use a sim card and a micro SD card in a hybrid slot, or you could see if one of your sim cards can't be used as an esim, although I have no idea how those work
