If your phone have expandable storage when was the last time you removed it?
When I buy a new phone, I take the storage out of the old one and put it in the new one
So I’m not the only one
Same. My sdcard has photos and music on it.
Do phones still have expandable storage?
Good ones do.
Why would I remove it? It’s encrypted and only readable in the phone itself, the only reason to remove it is to upgrade or moving to a new phone where it’ll be wiped and start from scratch.
A month or so ago; I had a 32G card, and bought a 128G card.
I miss it all the time. I wish Pixels would get off their internal storage racket, or at least give you extremely large options.
I wish my phone had expandable storage. It’s unfortunate that to get a high-end Samsung phone I have to sacrifice that :/
I haven’t owned a phone with removable storage since the Samsung Galaxy S5 back in 2015. (I miss that phone) Since then I’ve gone from iPhone, to Pixel, to Pixel, to iPhone, to iPhone. None of which had/have removable storage. Personally I don’t require much storage. The largest consumer of storage on my current phone is “Messages” at like 10G. I’m pretty sure the Photos app offloads photos to iCloud regularly so It says only 1G of storage.
If it wasn’t for lossless music, and storing about 75 gigs of drone footage on my phone I don’t use a lot of my storage typically. The 256 default is enough for me. But since I imported this phone I just said fuck it and went for the 1TB model and I’m sure as hell gonna use that storage. Apps bloating to use a shit ton of storage? Fuck it I don’t care.
Also I’ve always hated having the two tier storage for my phone. When 64 gig SD cards were a lot for a phone I had one and I hated it. It was only good for music, and offloading some photos. But it was always a pain getting most photo apps to recognize and treat each folder as one unified library so I’d always have half of my photos “inaccessible”. My last phone with an SD card slot was my galaxy note 3 from about the same time. After that I just started buying phones with enough built in storage.
When I had to extract crash footage from a dashcam.
Myself no. I don’t keep enough on my phone to warrant using the card.
My wife and her sister does though.
When the SD died.
