No.
It's why flagship phones should have 32gb of internal storage in one partition minimum. At least that's my opinion of how it should be done. Anything after that is gravy.
I don't think i could ever go back to using a phone without an SD Card. I used to have a Nexus and coming from a Galaxy S2 at the time, it was so annoying having to sacrifice space for all my music for some apps. It was also much easier to transfer music from an SD card from one phone to the next. I wouldn't have to re-sync 100's of songs again when switching devices. If Samsung ever took away MicroSD Cards, I'd be sending 100 letters of hate anonymously to them
Even back when you could do APP to SD the internal memory was partitioned to include space for apps and then for storage. I can remember devices having 2 GB and 4GB for apps and no one said a peep... I think it is much better the way android is now with all the the internal memory going for the OS and apps. I still say 9GB is a crazy amount of space for apps.
Yeah I remember that to, but 9GB really isnt a lot considering the fact the apps nowadays are becoming like FULL PC programs, and good apps will be reaching 1GB if not 2GB. Majority of the smaller apps are much smaller sizes, but I still would prefer not using the space I use for my music for use of apps
With all that being said, I think Samsung is making a big step in giving it's users choices, rather than limiting options. From features, and now options to move apps to SD Cards, it will satisfy the majority of people. I'd rather have the option to use it at my choice than not have it at all and complain when I am running out of space
