I keep very few photos on my phone (either the internal or SD), as really no one is interested in them except me, and I can pull them up from the cloud if need be. I also always wonder why everyone complaining about lack of SD (except me, because I'm not complaining) doesn't just attach a flash drive once a week or once a month and offload their stuff--then they wouldn't have to worry about losing everything with a buggy update or other crash.
In my case, switching to the A54 was a decision to not spend money to have features I was never going to use. Having the SD card slot remain was a bonus.
I prefer speed over interchangeable storage so internal is fine for me. Plus, Samsung always gives free storage upgrades for pre-orders anyway, so 512 for the price of 256 is fine by me b
I'm holding on to my S20 FE 5g for that very reason. Over 100g of music, movies, and books with me and waiting on SD card. End of August storm took away cellular services, but my media was there for the 6 days I had nothing else to include power.
