The things samsung needs to understand is these were luxuries that we liked using and novelties we paid the price for . Feel like slowly samsung is deforming into apple and other meh companies . 😕 I miss the ir blaster when I can't find a TV remote or ac remote . It was fun to turn on TVs at hotels and other places we didnt have a remote on hand . I miss SD card cuz I had all my work files and it could be swapped out easily when needed . Anyhow this is a post only for others like me who used to enjoy these occasional novelties

Yeah I know . But saying it out loud and when more people lend their voice to these things may or may not change things . The other scenario is to keep wishing for it silently lol. I just chose to share it here

There are so many ways to upload files to your work PC with a flagship phone that don't require you to go through the hassle of removing/installing/removing/reinstalling an SD card, that I can't take the need for one from anyone seriously. USB cable transfer, Bluetooth transfer, cloud storage transfer, Link To Windows transfer, Quick Share via email or text, straight up email as an attachment. So many ways.

Yes, the novelty, like the S Pen, is nice, but if you only use them on rare occasions, is it really worth the added expense, weight, and bulkiness to the phone.
