Why is Android moving away from Micro SD slots and removeable batteries?

[h0ruza#AC]

I still don't have Google Music... even that i'm in Europe

The UK does now. It will come to you soon with any luck.

SD card is because Why Nexus devices have no SD card | Android Central (among other reasons)

..sadly, this will never be a good enough answer for a lot of people around here.

People will keep complaining until 32gb becomes the minimum internal storage on a phone until then no SD card will be a lot of angry users

I hate this current trend because I feel trapped and bound by a criteria that is becoming harder to fulfill.

I don't mind non removable batteries or the lack of SD Cards but I want the storage space and the battery life to not be something I have to consider.

Give us 64 GB of storage in what ever format they prefer and I want to charge my phone once every day and a half...

These debates would be over (or Less so ).

When 32GB becomes the norm, people will complain that it's not 128GB.

Ok, make them with a big internal memory but change the os to accept an sd card. Sd cards aren't requirements, they are options.

It's a dumb answer.

Only because files are getting bigger and bigger and by that point, 32 probably won't be big enough.

I can really see in the future, you can go over your data limit downloading ONE FILE

Android will always support sd cards, because thats actully Linux kernel feature, it supports both block devices (this is name that linux use to any storage component/device) and read-write of file system on those block devices. It just need software that will mount sd card to some directory, that in case it lack you can install by yourself via root. Even if kernel they build will not support it (Linux kernel is modular allowing to do that) you can change kernel isn't it, but i guess they will build it anyway ifthey got sd card reader, they could do that in case of only having usb host.

If you say SD cards are just options, then changing the OS to accept an SD card shouldn't be a requirement.

Just saying.

Yes, it should.

The whole point is there still isn't a good reason not to include an sd card

lol. No reason will ever be good enough for you.

But that's fine. There are still Android phones that have SD card slots.

I hate how android users are becoming more and more like apple users thinking the nexus is superior to everything I know this is off topic but I had to get that out there

Probably because the Nexus will get the most and best support the quickest. Suppose that doesn't matter too much if you're just going to root and flash custom roms on it anyway.

Those things do matter but they overlook other things just because of the nexus name just like iPhone users say well its an iPhone lol

..because somehow the Nexus is the only Android phone available that you don't have to wait months for a update after its release and you get pure, 100% functionality right out the box without messing with some bs like cm mod where this doesn't work, that doesn't work, this freezes, etc.
