The SD card is now seen as internal storage. In this configuration, the SD card is supposed to be left in the phone.
This should allow apps to run as if they were installed onto the actual internal storage as both the internal and SD card are treated as one automatically..
Per the Website:
From now on, the micro SD card becomes part of the phone storage system.
Technically, it can be used for any apps and data. But in Android Marshmallow, normally media files and app data are actually saved in the SD card.
When your actual phone storage is too low, some apps will be moved to SD card automatically. The bottom line is that you should not worry about insufficient phone storage as long as your micro SD card have space.
The pre-installed apps are always in the physical phone storage, not SD card.
You can check the storage usage in Settings– Storage & USB as shown above.
For example, as shown above, my 8GB Moto G 3rd Gen becomes a 40GB phone.
Please note, you can only see the SD card storage here. All other file explorer apps (e.g., ES file explorer) should display phone storage+SD card as one storage.
And again, you cannot specify file saving locations as SD card or phone storage in any apps.

It's not waterproof, only splashproof. Not sure about the glass, but just put a protector on it. You're asking for trouble without one.

Not a bad price for an excellent budget phone. However, i would suggest a better option would be on Chitter Chatter where you can get the handset on contract for £13.49 a month . This includes 2gb data, 1200 mins and unlimited texts. An additional £42 cash back is also available via topcashback.

No you can't. Some Apps will move but only a few. Most phones I tried on Android 7 are like this

This is to help with the problem of apps not running on SD cards on previous versions.
