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

    It looks like Finnish stores don’t even carry Xiaomis/Redmis anymore. Mine’s a Redmi too, and a fair bit more powerful than yours from the looks of it. Really lucked out with the price I got on this thing

      On 21 September 2023, Telia, DNA, and Elisa, Finland’s major mobile carriers, halted the sale of Xiaomi Technology products due to the company’s ongoing business activities in Russia. This decision reflects the company’s commitment to maintaining its operations in Russia despite the Ukraine invasion.
