But yet again Samsung use the pathetic hybrid dual sim where you can have 2 Sims (no SD card) or 1 Sim + SD card.

The Samsung forums are full of posts rejecting this crappy design which is even forced on users in its flagship S series phones.

Samsung should listen to its users and revert to 2 Sims plus SD Card.

In fact, they should offer e-sim + nano-sim + SD card these days across the whole Samsung range!

All my A-series phones have dual Sim and SD.
Samsung mostly do hybrid sim/sd card setup now unfortunately for virtually all new phones released in last couple of years.

They obviously want to deprecate SD cards arguing phones have a lot more RAM nowadays.

I was thinking its products all use the dual-setup. SIM/SD cards.
(even my Tab S5E uses the dual-setup)

They can ask a lot more money for a device with more RAM than they can for a device with a triple tray!!! :cool:
