Yes, there is one way for that you have to use high quality SDcards such as memory cards of Class 10. Before using it you have to format that SDcard as a internal storage so that google can optimize your SDcards but the drawback is you can't use that Sdcard in other devices. Only store that data which you use less such as some files that you need rarely like movies and other stuffs and don't store private data in that. Do not store any game files in external SDcards. You have to invest lots of money for that because class that Sdcards are costly so the best option is to buy device with higher internal storage.
