What are you going to do with them?

I could live with small ram or processor but not with 16 or even 32gb storage.

Both phones have slots for microSD cards up to 2 TB.

I’ve had phones with card expansion. Never worked seamlessly to the point where I gave up on them. Does anyone have experience with using cards on these phones? Can you for example store all images and media there as if it was the main storage without ever needing to think about it again?

I have a Pinephone. It boots from the microSD by default, if it's bootable. Works flawlessly.

That’s good to hear. Might give it a go next time I need a phone

Have you bought cheap and slow cards or expensive and fast ones? Faster cards are more expensive but for phones it's absolutely worth it.
