When I got my Axon 7 Mini, I had visions of being able to combine the two phones I was carrying into the MINI, and have an SD card crammed with nice, clear FLAC files. My hopes were dashed when I learned the cruel reality that you could have a second SIM OR an SD card. Or were they?
Be prepared to let go of what you know as reality.
Quick pictorial on using one of the many dual sim card micro SD adapters available, since mine came with no instructions:

Just two examples... they are available on eBay and from numerous other vendors...
Let's get started-
Shut off the phone and use the sim drawer tool (or a paperclip) to open and remove the drawer.
Where to put the gadget in your SIM drawer, bottom view-

You can put a bit of cellophane tape on to keep the tiny SD and SIM from falling out while attempting to place the adapter. Don't put the tape on any of the metal contacts-
Probably good to cut back on coffee temporarily when attempting this, lol. The cards are lightweight and like to fall out at any opportunity.
After assembly, REMOVE the cello tape while holding the cards in place with a fingertip so the tape won't gum up your phone.
Slide the drawer back into your phone, (carefully, so the cards stay in place).
What it should look like when closed-
Slide the second SIM card into place, (don't worry, it only fits one way).
You'll need a case to protect the SIM card and ribbon cable-
Follow your carrier's instructions to activate the new card if needed.
Check to make sure both SIM cards and your SD card are working-
Success!
