If it was a 64gb model then I would. Otherwise, the One would of had a chance.
But that is not the case and I have the 32gb model AND a 64 gb sdcard!

Would have made me want it more.

Probably not. I have music and pics on on the sd card from 3 prior devices, along with the apps that can be moved. The sd card and removable battery are a must for me.

I would not have bought a 16GB with or without an SD card. I do love my 32GB S4 though. Waiting for the SD card problems to work out before I get one.

Absolutely not!

 

[rushmore]

Nope.

 

[fantom305]

Nope.......Already had and HTC without it....did not enjoyed it all ......For me deal breakers are: SD card and removable battery............

 

[planoman]

only if 32GB or higher were available.

 

[smooth4lyfe]

Probably not...I cannot stand phones with only internal memory...from my experience they suck for media users like myself

 

[nelonez]

Oh course not... expandable memory and removable battery are a must for me on any phone...

Hello from a Hildenbrand in Maryland, USA!



Now in answer to the OP, It would have made me think harder about it. I probably would have purchased the 64gb instead of the 16gb version. However I do like the fact that it has one so I can just take out the card if my phone were to ever die on me and not have as much risk losing my photos. (although I do have my dropbox account set up to automatically backup every photo taken)

I might have. When I got the phone I was overdue from Verizon and my Droid X2 was not performing well. At the time my Verizon options were the S3, the DNA or wait a month for the S4. I would have picked the S3 over the DNA because of the SD slot but it was a close decision. The way the question is asked I'm not sure if I should assume the S3 had an SD slot or not, though. If it didn't have a slot I almost certainly would have waited for the S4. If the S3 did have the SD slot I might not have waited and just got it instead. However, if the S4 had a 64GB option I would have definitely got it instead.

Really, the SD slot for me is just a way to make my phone my MP3 player. I'd either need an SD slot or at least 64GB of internal memory to replace my iPod. I have around 30GB of music, so unless I can fit all of it comfortably on my device, I won't use it as a music player. That means 32GB devices are out. If I can't get either then I just won't replace my iPod yet. That's what would have happened with the DNA or a SDless 16 or 32GB S3/4.

After coming from 4 different versions of iPhones I've learned to live with out a memory card slot, but since it does it makes a perfect holder for my 64GB Micro-SD card so that it doesn't get lost ...

I hope your sarcasm is not lost on others ... because that made me smile.

can't wait for the 128GB Sandisk MicroSDXC cards to come out...

MicroSD capability and removable battery should be in every decent smart phone.

I predict that those that require a micro SD card for their phones will be very disappointed in a couple years. I don't think that feature will stick around. Internal memory will get bigger and they'll just drop the SD card altogether.

I believe you to be right ... I don't think internal memory will even increase at all, everything will be cloud based storage, or streaming media. We're almost there as it is.
