Not exactly “news” but the recent Samsung Galaxy Ax6 phones (A26, A36, A56) all does not have the MicroSD card slot, only the Galaxy A16 still has it.
I fucking hate this. I love having a mini-TV with me. I can load up a Terabyte of TV shows I love rewatching. You know, maybe you travel or something. Also, good for recording like a lot of videos. Now, new Samsung phones cannot do that anymore.
Sorry for the rant, but honestly, I have to vent: Fuck Samsung. Fuck this capitalist bullshit.
I’m thinking of stop buying Samsung for the future, but honestly, other manufacturers might follow suit, so it ultimately might not matter. I hate this bullshit. I will carry a portable SSD if I have to, I ain’t buying your stupid cloud. I’m broke AF and I don’t got no money for subscriptions. (Also, they could hold your data hostage and refuse access for random “ToS” violations)
What are your thoughts? What’s the future of MicroSD card slots in phones?
(future looks so bleak)
As I said I can fill that with ease. Leaving no space for apps. If I have everything on the separate card that is a non issue. Using USB dongles is not a solution. It’s more crap we have to carry around when we already have an ideal method with the SD card. It takes up practically no space and offers great utility for those who need it. It’s not like they’re using the space on the board saved by taking it out to add new features.
If you fill up half a terabyte with ease, but not want to offload it on a usb key, well Xiaomi has a 1TB phone out 😅.
You’re right though, why remove something that small just because? Shitty move.
