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)
I stopped buying Samsung phones after one model had a known issue they did nothing about.
Motorola has been my new brand of choice. They still have headphone jacks and SD card slots.
Edit: if you have a reliable data plan on your phone you can download your media (music, TV, movies) onto a computer running Jellyfin. Then use Tailscale to open it up to your phone wherever you go. It’s hosting your own “cloud” for free. I do this for TV but I still keep an SD card full of music for offline use.
