Give me back my SD Slot you fuckin dicks
But then how will they sell you cloud storage?
Though to be devil's advocate, my current phone has 256gb of storage and I think that only got full when I loaded up a load of content for a long flight. My next phone (ordered already) is gonna be 512gb.
I say all this because I was missing the SD card for years, but finally I'm in a situation where I don't feel like I'm missing it anymore now phones actually come with a reasonable amount of storage.
Still would be nice to have the option. They could even force it to be an A1 minimum card if their reasoning about people using shitty SD cards and trashing performance has any real weight.
It's not just about expanded storage on the device though. I want to be able to read SD cards from other devices (like my dashcam) on my phone. And no, I'm not going to get a USB adapter because I fucking lose those things all the time and cannot find them when I need them
What about one of those sandisk 2-in-1 flash drives that's got a type a and c port on each end?
Those don't fit the use case. I want to be able to take the SD card from assorted devices (cameras, dashcams, etc) and pop them in my phone when I want to review or send things.
Well, at least for now entry-level samsung androids still have a tf slot by the sim card, it just isn't very hot-swappable
