Top dual-SIM smartphones with dedicated microSD card slot to buy under Rs 20,000Dec 5 (AZINS) Dual-SIM smartphone buyers have to often settle for a hybrid SIM slot. That means, they can either use a microSD card or a second SIM in the tray. Thankfully, phone makers haven’t given up on the dedicated expandable memory card slot just yet. You can use your old microSD card or consider buying a new one with more storage capacity.

With that microSD card, you would want to store your captured videos, movies, and other content. A crisp and sharp display does make those video appear immersive.
