BRING BACK THE MICROSD SLOTS!!!!!

[yoptvoyayb]

I know many ppl think I'm being old-fashioned about this, but I have a 400GB MicroSD card, of which I've only used maybe 75-80GB so far. My S20 FE has been having lag/other performance issues lately, and its probably due to the lack of it being eligible for a non-Security UI Update/Upgrade. Now I looked up and saw that the A56 doesn't have expandable storage. I figured the A56 might be a bit better than my S20 FE, but I'm not getting it if it doesn't have expandable storage. I only have Google One so that I don't have to delete my emails (although I probably should lol) and don't want to have to use it as a primary method of storing photos/videos/possible audio/music. I swear that the ditching of expandable storage is a way of forced herding of ppl to Cloud ☁️ Storage as primary, and is consumers must fight this. The Identity of flagship Samsung phones 📱 were widgets, expandable memory, and a more flexible and user-friendly experience than on an IPHONE (for example, idk how to clear an app's Cache nor to force stop an app on an IPhone). One of the key features to that flexibility/friendliness was the MicroSD card, even if u needed a USB device to xfer from a smaller to larger when u needed the extra space. Also, there's not much room for extensive media storage after u have enough apps on your phone, and it wouldn't be enough unless u have a 512GB capacity or higher. It's simpler to just put the MicroSD slots back into all the phones.

Are you telling me you don't have your phone and everything that is on it backed up somewhere?

That is absolutely not what I'm saying. I may use the features but I don't have to like them. I'm just saying I miss the older options. Sorry not sorry but I like to have a 2 TB phone if it's possible just because I can. I don't need it to be able to anything fancy, but it would be nice not to be forced to use an actual external device or cloud storage just to keep an extra couple gigs of whatever I want on my phone if I need it there.

What's the big deal with esim, its just as easy to transfer esims between phones as it is to swap out a physical Sim.

I have 2 phones and I swap all the time between the 2 phones.

I have a Pixel 10ProXl and a S25U, it took all of 2 minutes to transfer my Esim from one phone to the other. It will be just as easy to swap back.

Esim is much better for the environment.

I get it some people are adverse to change, those that can't accept change get left behind.

Do I have cloud storage, absolutely. I want to be able to access all of my files on any device I own without having to store it locally on all of them.

[Ktackett1]

It wasn't that I'm necessarily against forcing esim or using it myself, it's just another forced change coming that some people don't want. Let's say you break your phone and you've got an older phone as a replacement. If that current phone is too broken how are you supposed to transfer your esim? I like the thought of the ability of just popping the Sim out and putting it in another phone without having to call for permission... Not everybody is fortunate enough to afford a "top three" phone company plan that has all of those insurance benefits for easy replacement or repairs so one needs to be able to use a backup in the meantime.

Oh, boy.  I have news for you. ALL change seems forced on the ones who don't want it, but change is part of progress.

[Ktackett1]

Go away

[realaud]

I have every right to be here. So, no.

[Ktackett1]

Then at least go **bleep** down somebody else's back

[Ktackett1]

And I have every right to my own opinions and don't need your negativity so if you don't agree with what I'm saying don't comment

[realaud]

If you have a right to your opinion, so do others.  If you don't want other people's opinions to intrude in your fantasy world, then don't post your opinion publicly.
