Two cameras? Ha! Try two headphone jacks. Or two batteries.

I'd gladly give up one of those things for a second SD card slot.

        dual speakers is good..
        dual cam even better..

          do you think that they can't implement xenon flashes on current phones as they need to increase the thickness as xenon flashes require large capacitors ( k zoom is quite thick due to zoom lens and capacitors, same with nokia 808 pureview), other electrical items such as audiophile grade digital audio players such as NW-ZX1, NW-ZX2 and NW-ZX300 has a large bulge on the chassis for large os-con capacitors to ensure purist sound with no compromises ( electrical spikes caused by regular phones and ipods due insufficient current causes noise distortion such as sibilance which is unclear "ss" sound , other brands audiophile grade digital audio players uses isoloted power supplies with does similar job)

            256GB is today's limit on microSDXC, which might not be enough for some.
            Or combine two identical cards in RAID-0 config to get twice the speed.

              Anonymous, 09 Oct 2017buy a phone which has a better battery back upThat's not entirely comparable. What if you want to use the phone's USB connectivity while plugged in? Say you want to play games using USB keyboard and mouse? Or (very) simply use USB sound-card without runtime constraints?

                Why are all manufacturers obsessed with making razor-blades? Don't they realize thinner devices are structurally impaired compared to thick ones?
                Thickness is not defining factor of anything, in fact thinner phones are much worse to get good grip on. Plus regular people will stick good ol' carbon case on your ultra thin phone, considerably increasing the thickness.

                There's a free area on my RMN4 where USB-B port would perfectly fit, why it's not there remains a marketing mystery.

                        Regarding dual ports; Nokia n8 had HDMI mini port + the ordinary micro USB.

                          Anonymous, 09 Oct 2017buy a phone which has a better battery back upThere isn't one, except for maybe 4-5 models with 5000mah batteries, but when the battery starts to degrade after an year (Or even sooner. Heavy usage off charger will degrade the battery in no time. It's always good to plug in the charger when you are using it intensely and continuously), even they may not last a full day. So you just can't rely on the battery.

                            Two batteries - 1 removable and 1 built in

                            Two sim-card slot
                            Two screens - unfold to become 1 large screen
                            Two bootloaders - in case one got corrupted
                            Two OS - should be the minimum.. HD2 managed 3 OS multiboot(WinMO, Android, WinPho) while N900 had 5 OS multiboot(Maemo,Meego,Android,Ubuntu,Windows)

If I have a 32GB card, run out of space, and get a 64GB card I've only gained 32GB space. If I had two slots, I'd actually gain 64GB of space. Alternately, if you already have the largest capacity card available, you can pop in a second card and have twice as much storage as anyone else. :-)

                                      think DUDE.
