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)
I’m willing to negotiate on the SD slot but I require my devices to have a removable battery. Currently I do have an SD slot too but I can’t even remember wether I have a card installed or not. Obviously I’d still prefer to have that too. Hardware features > software features.
The Samsung XCover phones have removable battery, MicroSD card slot, headphone jack, IP68 rating, the performance aint great according to reddit.
But samsung might just kill those features in future releases, as they do with other phone. They start with the top, slowly going down to the budget ones, they’ll eventually just end the XCover series.
Edit: Or maybe not, we’ll see how the EU regulations will get enforced.
That’s the phone I got.
