I read a rumor recently that Samsung may only put the sd slot in the S20 Ultra.
Haven't even heard of that yet. But honestly I'm not kidding. In the past, I would have felt a lot of urgency to go along with the feature loss to get the latest and greatest. At this point, I'm not so sure that's true anymore. I'm perfectly happy with my 9 plus. I could buy some series 10 models and be happy for a very long time.
My only caveat is 5G. At some point, although not now, I would like 5G. I guess I'll have to see how that works out. Maybe I will be forced to buy something like a half terabyte phone at some point. Of course that will greatly increase the cost of an already incredibly expensive phone. And you have to buy it again when you do upgrade, meaning there will be an incentive not to upgrade. I guess that's one answer.
Too many things up in the air. I guess we will have to weigh pros and cons when they get here.
