I used to keep a ton of music on my sd card as my phone is my mp3 player, but now that I've got unlimited data I just stream everything. Still great to have the card for my camera though, nothing more infuriating than having full storage and being unable to take a photo of record video.
My last phone allowed me to format as internal and I never had any issues with app performance or anything. I still have that phone and everything on it still works perfectly. I'm actually going to reactivate it for my daughter but I'm definitely getting myself a much newer phone and I'm gonna go ahead and grab a tablet while I have the funds to do so.
Any recommendations on what model devices I should look into?
I've always chosen Samsung when paying out of pocket but I'm open to trying something new if it'll be more beneficial.
