On that phone I could save pictures directly to the SD card.
An app can write to the SD card - but there are limits. One app can't write to another app's folders so, for example, you can't take a picture and save it to the SD card, then use a file manager to delete it. The only way to give all apps all rights to the card is to modify the platform.xml file and, since it's a system file, you need root permissions to do that.
There is a setting in the camera app to save pictures and videos to the SD card. If you put in a SD card before turning in the phone for the first time then the camera will default to saving to the SD.
I don't see the setting, do you have to have the card in for it to come up somewhere in the app?
According to another website Google is bringing SD support back with M.
