I have not been a fan of SD cards in quite some time. Never going to use them again for smartphone use.
Hmmm...I don't understand that at all. I could use a 32 or 64GB phone and have all of my movies and music stored on a sd card and be fine for years. Google just wants you to use their cloud services so they can mine your data.
With today's new SD Cards speed and reliability is not an issue. Then SD Cards are cheap when on sale and they are always on sale somewhere.....
I don't like to stream music so all my data is local. I have 12Gb of music on my 128GB Pixel XL. I would have been able to save money buying the 32GB Pixel XL. They were much more available as well than the 128GB Pixels XLs. I had to wait and extra 6 weeks to get my 128Gb while 32GB models were available sooner and cheaper.
I would love to see the SD Card, wireless charging and IP68 certification on the Pixel 2.
But please Google keep it a flat screen...no curves please......
