You can backup cloud storage as well - just synchronize Google Drive (or any other server you use) with you local computer and make a backup from that in multiple versions, so you can go back in time, if a recent backup shows missing or damaged files.

I use google things for apps, and Amazon something for the photos, but
it is full. The size I would need is not cheap.
My engineering association has a deal with google, and the size of the
storage is much bigger, but that is not the account my phone uses.

No - instead they have an additional black border at the top and bottom of the display. And Sony only provides updates for less than 5 years.

It would look old-fashioned if those borders were very wide. But they are just wide enough to make room for camera, loudspeakers, microphone. Very stylish, I like this much better than those ugly punchholes. > And Sony only provides updates for less than 5 years. The Xperia 1 VI > was released in June 2024 and will by "end-of-life" in April 2028. That used to be the only disadvantage of Sony phones. But AFAIK, it has improved with the latest 1 VIII. Anyway, after "end-of-life" I plan to install another OS. The phone is rootable, unlocking the bootloader is even supported by the company. I'm also surprised by the low battery consumption. The battery could easily survive a 5-day festival, the level went from 80% to 40% in 5 days. But that may be due to the fact that I have about everything in dark mode, so the battery consumption of this OLED screen is almost zero.

See below for the Sony Xperia phones with all three, as you said. Here's a search for 93 recent/current Android phones with all three 1. ESIM 2. SIM (note they only had a choice for "dual sim" for some reason) 3. SD SLOT <https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2021&chkESIM=selected&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=1> Did I do that search wrong? There's no checkbox for SIM, so I assume all the phones have a SIM slot. BTW, contrary to the absurdities being spewed in this thread by others, the search shows a bit over 60% of current/recent Androids have the sd slot. 1857 current/recent Android phones with the sd slot hardware: <https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2021&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=1> 1205 current/recent Android phones lacking the sd slot hardware: <https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2021&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=3> Assuming I ran the search for ESIM + SIM + SD correctly, here's a summary of the top 70 models (out of the 93 recent/current models) that have all 3.

SD card is not important now - I have not used one in a decade. Being able to plugin a second sim, or an esim, (both possibilities would be nice). That way I can travel to Canada and buy in advance an esim while in Europe. My current phone has "A", so for my next trip I will need to update. Next year. On a tablet is different, mine has a SD card. My current phone is a G52 Motorola. I will try to get a similar one. Motorola does little customization. Caveat: all phones I bought from them had a problem, but they last several years for me. I think I bought this one on 2022-05-02. B is fine. I don't know how well they cover USA bands. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

More than half of all current & recent Android phones have sd slots.
Why do you think 60% of all current/recent Android phones have sd slots?
Because they do things that cannot be done even with other methods.
Yes, most of those things can be bought back by desperate consumers.
At a huge cost, where always, the consumer pays for the lost functionality.
In fact, the consumer pays through the nose to replace that sd slot.
Which is why it's absurd that anyone would claim to say they're obsolete.
And yet, there is still one thing sd card slots allow the user that is
impossible to buy back any other way, even paying through the nose for
initial extra storage and never-ending cloud subscriptions to replace
"some" of the lost functionality of the missing sd slot (saving the OEM
about fifty cents).

The only reason for 40% of Androids not having sd card slots, is the big OEMs make a ton of money by the consumer desperately replacing the lost functionality from them.

What *is* an eSIM slot? Isn't the purpose of it that it's not physical? What happens is that there are some manufacturers offering dual phisical slots for SIMs (*), but one of which is also a microSD slot, so you cannot use two SIMs *and* a µSD card at the same time. Fine if you're not buing it for both features, not fine if you are. I was able to get three-slot 2x nano-SIM (albeit DSDS) + 1 µSD from Motorola. In other words, that's what I personally would choose: all of them, and not a situation where you have to choose between one or the other. (*) (These days, nano-SIM, which I find a bit lacking given mini-SIM compatibility would have been a plus personally... but I guess that ship is sailing as some countries are even planning to shut down 2G connectivity.) -- Nuno Silva

Good questions. gsmarena presents it as a choice, 2nd sim or esim, and
sometimes SD or esim. So if esim doesn't need a slot, maybe it just
wants to have an empty slot, like a vacation apartment you never
actually use.

That's what I have, well, had, now.

I'll look at Motorola, but you have 2x nano sim and 1 SD, and what I
want is 1 sim, 1 esim, and 1 SD. Not the same thing.
ASI says Sony Experia, like someone here said
and then it lists Samsung Galaxy A Series (Regional Hybrid Slots, but
when you read the next sentence, it say nothing about eSIM. That's why I
call AI as ASI. But I'll check.
So if Samsung really doesn't have it that leaves Xperia 1 VI, Xperia 1
V, and Xperia 1 IV feature a tool-less physical tray holding 1 nano-SIM
and 1 microSD card, combined with built-in eSIM support plus maybeSony
Xperia 5 and 10 Series: Recent versions like the Xperia 5 V and Xperia
10 V
Plus I think I want Global, to be sure of having the right frequencies.
Or I could spend time checking countries, providers, and frequencies.
There have been places in Baltimore and West Virginia where I got no
signal, even though they were not forests or deserts. In Baltimore I
went back with a dfferent sim, but they wouldn't let me in the fancy
n'hood that time.
In W.Va. I talked to a guy who used a different but major provider
and he said he got no signal either, so Maybe I'm worried about nothing

See Andy's post about buying a *physical* 'SIM' which can function as an eSIM (<https://www.9esim.com/en>). That way, the Motorola can do what you want. N.B. The 9esim.com site does not mention the physical size of the eSIM card. It looks like a mini-size which can be stripped down to a nano size, but, for some strange reason, the website does not say so. BTW, *why* do you want a (Micro) SD card slot? Please no vagueries, but specifics. *How* do you use the SD card? [...]

There are verrrry few mini size drawers now, if there ever were and no mini slots in recently made phones afaik. (FWIW my Huawei from 2010 had a full size slot, and putting a mini into a frame is what kept it from coming out again, The frame had a vinyl sheet to keep the card from falling through, but Mint had sent me, without my asking, some frames with no sheet. Or you coudl rip the sheet out of frame that had one. Maybe a little harder to get in, but probably easier to get out, at least with the Huawei ) > BTW, *why* do you want a (Micro) SD card slot?
