Sony has both! I'm rocking a 1tb SD card at the moment that I swap into my drone and laptop for quick file transfer and it's amazing.
Dual SIM plus MicroSD? Or either/or?
Either or. Sony phones still cost and arm, a leg and your left kidney though.
Xperia 10 is their mid-range line. Got mine unlocked for 500CAD.
Right, that's true. My main concern is that I need to work with 3 SIM cards regularly (German, Chinese, Malaysian) and already have to either hot swap or use a spare phone, so I'd really want to see a phone that offers a standalone SD slot without compromising at least dual SIM.
I've just got myself one of the aftermarket eSIM add-on cards from 5ber.com which seems to be working fine, but both my Malaysian and Chinese ISP don't offer the functionality at all just yet. Ideally I'd want to have all 3 profiles on one, then the dual SIM wouldn't be as needed as it is now.
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.

Excellent, thanks a lot for the writeup, much appreciated!
I don't know any phone that has dualsim and micro SD, but Sony atleast offer a toolless sim tray, so you don't need a needle to remove it
Motorola E32 dual sim + micro SD. My old Nokia 3.1 had it also. Both have s 3,5mm headset jack
That's pretty cool, but I get why most manufacturers don't make that. Do you have 2 simtrays or 1 large one?
The Motorola has 1 tray for 2 sim cards and 1 micro sd card. The nokia had 2 trays, 1 for 2 sims and 1 for 1 micro sd card. The Nokia has binned 2 weeks ago, battery was in no time flat and the back of the phone was bulging
