Can Huawei P20 plug in a memory card? No, you cannot

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-20

With the continuous development of technology, smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. As a world-renowned communications and smart device provider, Huawei has always been at the forefront of technology and is committed to providing users with a more advanced and convenient mobile communication experience. Its P series mobile phones have always received widespread attention from consumers. Among them, the P20 is the leader in the series, and its design concept and functional configuration reflect Huawei's exquisite grasp of mobile phone craftsmanship and in-depth understanding of user needs.

Among the many design highlights, the P20's dual Nano SIM card slots are particularly eye-catching. Similar to the Mate 10 Pro, the P20 also comes in a non-two-choice style, which means that users can insert two Nano SIM cards at the same time, but there is no support for expanding memory cards. Such a design, in the context of today's dual-SIM dual standby becoming the mainstream, undoubtedly better meets the needs of users for multi-card use.

However, why did Huawei choose a design that does not support extended memory cards on the P20? The reason for this may be related to the design of the internal space structure of the mobile phone. First of all, in order to provide a longer battery life, Huawei may have crammed a larger capacity battery inside the phone. In the limited space of the mobile phone, the increase in the size of the battery will inevitably compress the space of other components, and the memory card slot may become a part of the trade-off.

In addition, waterproof performance is also one of the important indicators of modern intelligence. In order to achieve IP67 or even higher waterproof levels, the phone's shell and internal structure design need to be strictly sealed. The presence of an extended memory card slot will undoubtedly increase the opening of the phone's case, thereby increasing the risk of water ingress. Therefore, in order to ensure the waterproof performance of the phone, Huawei may have decided to sacrifice the memory card slot at the beginning of the design.

Of course, these are just possible guesses. The real reason may need to be revealed by Huawei's designers and engineers. But in any case, from the user's point of view, if it is really for the sake of increasing battery capacity and improving water resistance, then such a design choice is undoubtedly acceptable. After all, longer battery life and better waterproof performance are both aspects that users value very much in daily use.

In addition, with the popularity of cloud storage and high-speed networks, more and more users are starting to store their data in the cloud instead of relying on the local memory card of their mobile phones. Therefore, for many users, whether the phone supports an extended memory card or not is no longer a key factor in the purchase decision. Instead, they value the phone's overall performance and user experience more.

Of course, there are also some users who may regret that the P20 does not support the design of the extended memory card. After all, for some users who often need to store large amounts of local data, the scalability of the memory card is still very important. But even then, there are other ways they can solve the storage problem, such as buying a version of the phone with more built-in storage, or using an external storage device.

Overall, the Huawei P20's dual Nano SIM card slot design is a choice made by Huawei after weighing a number of factors. Although such a design may be inconvenient for some users, on the whole, it better meets the needs of most users and reflects Huawei's unremitting pursuit of mobile phone craftsmanship and user experience.

In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous change of user needs, Huawei will definitely make more innovations and adjustments in mobile phone design. However, no matter how it changes, we believe that Huawei will always adhere to the user-centric design philosophy and provide users with better and more intimate products and services.
