Samsung sucks for removing the micro SD and MST Samsung Pay.

Well here's the thing, an SD card isn't fast enough to record 8K video anyway.

I thought that V90 cards support up to 8K....not that I would use them.

Most PCs don't have micro SD slots and some are giving up SD

you are lucky to get a pc with cd/dvd drives. Last couple of computers I purchased did not have one. I swear manfuacturers are working with the service providers to make you use your data allowance forcing you to purchase better plans.

CD drives? Home internet data caps??? WHAT YEAR IS IT IN AMERICA!?

You really think sd cards will save the environment

Isn't that the point of them not packing in a charger and wired buds is to save the environment by not creating extra waste when you already have a charger and buds laying around? Point being, a SD card is reusable and can carry over from phone to phone but the built in ram gets thrown out with the phone and not reused like a SD card can. I'm just using Samsung's and everyone else's logic (in a sarcastic way).

Where you come from they have flying cars?

I'm not allowed to tell you about the flying cars...

I can tell you my broadband doesn't have a damn data cap, though!

What is an average data cap there? I usually get through a little over a terabyte a month...

Apple plans to include an SD slot on its next MacBook Pro models. Seems someone things they are useful. I like that some but not all Surface devices have SDXC card slot. I’d actually like to see Samsung have one, too.

I do not like the plastic SIM + SDXC card tray. Getting SDXC to sit properly, not needing to try again, etc. Apple has a non plastic, metallic? tray and easier to use.

My Surface Laptop Go LTE - why couldn’t you add SDXC internal as an option, while keeping the external slot.

Will SDXC or internal phone storage reach 1TB and above? Some sound like they need it. I found it slow to sort, find, and share photo with just 80GB of photos. And then seeing double, some were on internal storage and SDXC card. And OneDive, and OneDrive Galaxy subsection.

I tried to move everything to just OneDrive but then had new problems, downloading, edit, sharing.

Oh and while glad to have 300Mb broadband, there is a monthly cap of 2TB which I use about half or less.

To be honest we have had unlimited data for all broadband providers in the UK for at least the last 5 years and I have had unlimited mobile data for at least the last 7 or 8 years.

I still prefer using optical discs for backing up data more permanently. Just bought an external bluray writer for my iMac to back up data I had saved in the cloud that Mega was threatening to delete. My 22GB of photos from the 1990s and early 2000s fitted nicely onto a single Bluray disk.

I was going share my Space X license ID

It's 1.2 terabytes I'm usually at 500gb a month.

For Mobile I've had unlimited for about same time as you , just home is 1.2 terabytes but haven't reached it yet .

Wow. I would hate to have limits. I pay £33 a month for 200mb/s totally unlimited data. I use a lot of data as I have YouTube paying on my TV all day, my phone is connected and all my smart home devices. Also Lydia is online a lot as well in the loft apartment. Doug plays xbox live. We must use quite a bit. I am glad I am not metered.

It's not really a limit most people won't go past 1 terabytes I'm at 500gb each month since the covid19 otherwise it be way less and that's with 7 people 5 online school. But then again we have unlimited data for the phones.

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

Not so bad then I guess.

Imo sd cards are very unreliable and can get corrupted easy. I stopped using them along time ago and if I need to clear up space on my phone I plug into my pc to offload/loaf my files. I've also upload to cloud if I'm not near a computer. I can't tell you how many files I lost due to sd card corruption.

I just had to replace my micro SD card on my phone because I've been loosing embedded album covers on my MP3's since June and a few pics from the phone camera here and there. then probably lost a hundred pics as of November and had to order a new SD card. my friends seldom used SD card just started acting up in his drone the other day and would cause it error messages and intermittent recording. I have to replace SD cards in either my camera or camcorder, phone, or tablet about every two years for each card.

Most PCs don't have micro SD slots and some are giving up SD

My laptop and all the ones I've ordered for our department have Micro slots. Some PCs have them, some have regular SD slots. I didn't specifically mention they all have a micro slot, but rather an SD slot. On one PC of mine, I have a micro slot, the other I leave the SD adapter card in the SD slot and just pop in my micro card. Most PCs all have at least the SD slot. leave the adapter in there and away you go.

I'm just using Samsung's and everyone else's logic (in a sarcastic way).

If samsung cares about the environment, skip a phone cycle for a yr. The manufacturing waste and resources to power the factories, in addition to the mining operations for the precious metals needed in these phones does far more damage than slapping a charger in there. 100M less phones and the waste to create said number of phones would have a grater impact.

No it isn't....that's the smoke screen behind the real reason which is increasing profits.

Don't have a broadband data cap here either. Maybe some with a cheap plan do. It's great to have options.
