Regarding ZX Spectrum Next (KS3) dual SD card support:
- There are no exact specs confirmed by any official source describing how dual SD support will work.
That being said, a rough consensus of sorts seems to have formed among enthusiasts about the most plausible model that's to be expected:
Internal SD likely holds system / OS / firmware stuff
External SD likely handles games, data, user storage
Internal SD is probably not removable via standard user access
Backing up internal without opening is uncertain / possibly non-trivial
Other conjectures about system updates over WiFI and other work modes have been theorised, but seem to be considered less plausible by most.

Even though it's a one-off, unofficial, and artisanally built, at least one ZX Spectrum Next laptop does exist.

I think this is a very good idea.

How dare they start a Kickstarter for a new ZX Spectrum Next AND a pre-sale for a new Commodore 64 while I’m completely broke!!1! 😭#ZXSpectrumNext#Commodore64Ultimate#RetroComputing
