    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.

        One of the cards dangles out, and you do sometimes have to file the SIM tray down a hair (just the tray the slot/phone is not modified at all). A lot of the ribbons have an adhesive back and just enough length to curve around the body of the phone so that it contours the phone and sticks to the back.

        Since I kept my phone in a case it was essentially indistinguishable/seamless to me.

        Below is a link to an example of the adapter I’m talking about.
