Flashback: the time when SIM cards and microSD cards merged into one

24 September 2023
The so-called SuperSIM did the job of both, but the end result was less than the sum of its parts.

"Well you don't need SD cards they are too slow and base storage is plentiful" That's gotta be first world privilege if I've ever seen it. Sure, go buy a cloud subscription so it's an utter hassle to move stuff and take up all the internal storage so your phone can be thrown away in 2 years. Instead of, you know, just popping the tray, but who cares big manufacturers have convinced idiots to move away from microsd anyways

      My infinix note 30 uses 1 tray for both dual sim and micro sd card.No need for supersim

        KondriX, 25 Sep 2023Wired is still of higher quality than wireless, and it does... moreWell yes different people different needs soon or later but bet soon whole world will go wireless there is nothing you can do so my tip for you learn new things because soon you will get no phone where you could put your 3,5mm earphones.

            you have to suffer, 25 Sep 2023more like a macbook with soldered ssd onlyI am already try to this December 2017 work 100% but risk off both sim card or sdcard

You're paying 10$ a month for 2 TB (when 2 TB NVMe SSD costs less than 100$) and your data still gets monetized by Google

                  No Regrets , 25 Sep 2023Here is my take. microSD cards are cheap and plentiful, ho... moreMicro SD 7.0 was released with PCI express protocol. Even now you can buy micro sd with speeds up to 300 mb/s. It's called UHS-II, but there is no phones with UHS-II support, only cameras have this support. And for bluetooth battery drain - I don't think so. Earbuds with tiny 50 mah battery work 5-7 hours. So Bluetooth Low Energy is really low energy.

                    All phonea must have 2 SIM and 1 memory card slot (all dedicated).

                              "What do you think – was SuperSIM a brilliant or a dumb idea? What about NM cards?"

                              I'd love to see both of them supported in phones!

                                      either buy phone with sd slot and low-end soc OR high-end soc without sd slot.
                                      don't get me wrong, but i wish to see all $300+ phone with both sd slot and audio jack again.
