I have a portable hard drive set up so I can use it as a backup and to transfer music and ebooks to/from my phone and to/from my laptop as well. Don't find myself using that much anymore as most of the stuff is available through streaming now.

So that means there's still hope for SD support in the Note 21

It remains possible, but that link offers no evidence for it.

I wouldn't rely on the SD card for anything I wanted to preserve. What if the SD card suddenly becomes unreadable, or if the whole phone gets lost or stolen? Plus I encrypt everything, including the SD card, so the card would be useless if the phone died. Cloud sync is a must.

Anything I have on my SD card is replicated on my home computer, namely audio files. It can go bad or be stolen. I don't really care in the context of lost data. There won't be any.

I might add, in years of using SD cards I have never had one go bad and cause me a loss of data. Usually, I only get rid of them to upgrade to a higher storage space, which is always going to be a more efficient deal than buying a larger size phone.

I was able to survive and had some workarounds when they eliminated removable batteries. This is going to be a lot harder for me. It is going to affect my update schedule.

I required an SD card back in the days of strict data caps and 16Gb phones but I honestly don't use the SD Card slot on my Note 8/9 or N20U. My Note 8 is the 64Gb model and after 2 1/2 years only used about 45Gb.

My 128Gb N20U still has over 90Gb free after putting everything I want on it.

I know some people need high storage limits, my PC has 6.5TB connected to it, but I don't need it in my phone.

I know this isn't the same thing, but I can plug a USB-C flash drive into the port on my S10 and it's recognized as a mass storage device and I can move files to and from the flash drive.
