Not exactly “news” but the recent Samsung Galaxy Ax6 phones (A26, A36, A56) all does not have the MicroSD card slot, only the Galaxy A16 still has it.

I fucking hate this. I love having a mini-TV with me. I can load up a Terabyte of TV shows I love rewatching. You know, maybe you travel or something. Also, good for recording like a lot of videos. Now, new Samsung phones cannot do that anymore.

Sorry for the rant, but honestly, I have to vent: Fuck Samsung. Fuck this capitalist bullshit.

I’m thinking of stop buying Samsung for the future, but honestly, other manufacturers might follow suit, so it ultimately might not matter. I hate this bullshit. I will carry a portable SSD if I have to, I ain’t buying your stupid cloud. I’m broke AF and I don’t got no money for subscriptions. (Also, they could hold your data hostage and refuse access for random “ToS” violations)

What are your thoughts? What’s the future of MicroSD card slots in phones?

(future looks so bleak)

    3 years of updates for flagships is not great.

    Also, one of the upsides of Sony devices retaining critically endangered features like the headphone jack and microSD slot is that they appeal to geeks, which generally leads to to good custom ROM support. So it’s 3 years of updates from the manufacturer but you can often stretch their lifespan out a lot longer.
