Galaxy S Phones
Hello,
 
My name is Jeffery Baxter.  I've been a Samsung phone user for the first time since July of 2013.  The phone I got at the time was the Galaxy S4.  Samsung phones I got after that were the S6, S7 Edge, Note 8 and Note 20 Ultra.  As for the upcoming S26 Ultra, myself and more than quite of few Samsung fans would like to see an increase for two things and a return for something.  In general, Samsung do things based on feedback or by listening to fans.  In terms of Samsung "listening" to fans as they've said on few instances during their Unpacked presentation conferences, one thing that needs to make a return is to bring back memory expansion on the flagship mainline phones.  Since 2021 there has been no memory expansion on the flagship mainline phones.  The last phone that had memory expansion was the Note 20 Ultra which came out back in 2020. Mainline phone devices that came out for 2021 to until now 2025 doesn't have memory expansion.  Samsung need to bring that back due to the fact that their tablet lines have memory expansion and their laptop lines have it as well. Not only that, 2 TB micro sd cards are available now. The 2 TB micro sd cards came out sometime this past year 2024. This will give phone power users higher l...
 
Let's see if some of these will get implementation when the time comes.  It would be great if they do get implemented.  Looking forward to seeing the S26 Series conference in January and to see what the devices have to offer.

MicroSD will never be added to S series phone, just accept it.

Sorry, but SD cards are outdated. Adding one to a phone will make it run slower because built-in storage is faster than what SD cards can provide.  The read/write speeds of SD cards are so slow

I wish people would stop asking for this want. It will NEVER HAPPEN, full stop!

Why would someone need 2tbs of storage on a phone?

Do you need to have every picture and video you have ever taken to be on your phone?

Yeah, I know it's simple to back up to a computer or get a USB-C flash drive to copy everything if you want to keep a copy of everything you've done in life.

So many people don't want to give up their Note 20's because the lack of SDs card is ridiculous.

They were good to have back in the day, but with all the advancements in phone storage, SD cards are outdated due to their slow read and write speeds, which would hinder phone performance now.

With all the cloud storage available today, they can still have all their stuff with them all the time.  If they can spring for the cost of a 1TB SD card, they can certainly spring for the cost of extra cloud storage.

It's not that expensive and the storage is private, if the cloud server takes a **bleep** you are **bleep**. If the SD card gets destroyed that's on the user
