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 did that for years until there were none left.
My Moto G 5G has both
I see. Moto G also looks like it only gets a couple of years of updates. And the most important thing to me these days is the OS. So I get a Pixel with Graphene and the extra cost will pay for itself over time. Especially since all the new Android phones are more or less the same these days.
Sony apparently has your back still
Sony still sells phones? Last I checked they were like $2k, obscenely tall, took terrible photos, and only got a couple years of updates.
