Is this trend of the MicroSD slot being eliminated actually ok with the rest of the community? I'm on the A54 5G still and looking at options to upgrade next year and it doesn't seem like Samsung will be an option.

If you still feel a need for a Micro SD slot with flagship specs, might I suggest a Sony Experia device.

Trend? SD cards have been removed from the majority of Android devices for many years at this point. Samsung has kept them in some A-series devices as a concession for removing/limiting other features.

I've never bought flagship phones because of the monetization of internal storage.

That's your prerogative, but you won't find a single OEM that doesn't charge more for more storage.

Seriously? Since the advent of personal computing, storage and memory has always been monetized. You want more, you pay for more.

I don't pay for someone to keep what I store I like to have my own storage. So I haven't used cloud storage, some people have different preferences ๐Ÿ˜‰.

No one is saying you have to use cloud storage. That's why they make flash drives and external drives and computer transfers. There is no longer a need for SD cards.

If fill and sd card with videos and photos and don't want to take the time copying them to my PC right away it makes it much easier to just swap it out rather than have an accessory hanging off the phone.

Flash drive are terribly inexpensive now, so one can swap out flash drives easier and faster than an SD card and either keep the data on the drive or put it away and transfer at your leisure.

Flash drives are an accessory that hangs from the phone not as convenient ๐Ÿ˜’. Like I said before different preferences.
