Hybrid SIM slots are usually the slot number two of a Galaxy Android Smartphone where you will be able to put either a nano-SIM card or a microSD card. But you will be able to insert either of the two only, but not all at the same time.
Hybrid dual SIM slot is a smartphone technology that is being used by many mobile makers around the world in the new flagship smartphones. Instead of providing 3 separate slots (2 for SIM’s and 1 for Memory Card), the makers now provide only two slots. Out of these 2 slots, 1 slot is used for SIM while the second slot is used as either SIM or SD Card. In short, a user has two options for the second slot.
One SIM + One SIM: If you want to use the device as a dual SIM device, then use the second slot as SIM. Insert the micro-SIM in the second slot and later your phone will be treated as a dual SIM phone.

One SIM + One microSD: If you don’t want to use the device as a dual SIM, then use the second slot as a microSD card. Insert the microSD card in the second slot and later your phone memory will be increased and now you can treat your phone as a single SIM. So, choose whether you want your device to be a dual SIM device or give it more storage. No hassles, No difficulty, all can be done within seconds.
A hybrid dual SIM slot feature is available in many new smartphones. In some smartphones, the internal storage is big enough (32 GB/64 GB), so you might not really need the hybrid slots to expand the storage!
Mini-Sim measures 25mm x 15mm in dimension. A Micro-SIM is smaller than a Mini-SIM, measuring 15mm x 12mm. The Nano SIM is the smallest of the three, measuring just 12.3mm x 8.3mm. Micro SIM is the most common. Nano SIM slot is found in most of the latest smartphones.
Is it good to have a Hybrid SIM slot?

One fundamental advantage with having a hybrid SIM Card slot is that it saves space. As cellphone brands are vying for the coveted “slimmest” phone title, space occupied by card slots becomes extremely important.
Having a hybrid SIM card slot may look great at first, but a closer look reveals the inherent disadvantage – you can either use the slot as SIM + SIM or as SIM + Micro SD. If you wish to have two SIMs and still want to expand storage capacity using a Micro SD, it’s not possible. You have to be happy with either a Dual SIM smartphone or an expanded storage capacity with a single SIM.

To put it all together, a hybrid SIM card slot is good for manufacturers but not for users, since it restricts the functionality to some extent. The manufacturers have figured out a way to make the smartphone slimmer by saving on space with the hybrid card slot but users now have to make a conscious decision between choosing Dual SIM smartphone functionality and a Single SIM with expanded storage functionality.
