    And since when do you side with the companies on garbage things? You might as well start saying how much you love apple and Samsung at this point.

      Not fr companies making those phones. For you it makes value but nobody will pay your sentimental value NOBODY.
      For said bare minimum lets say 0,05% of population who would kill for having an SD Slot and Jack in phone this will be priceless.
      But thats just 0,05% of people rest of us does not need such ancient garbage features when modern technologies are a lot better.

          Honestly i bet whole my yearly salary if there were ever existing a cloning machine which would make genuinely same device via cloning with equally same specs, durability, functions etc and any and every device cloned like this wouild cost nly a single penny to make those companies would ask 1000+ for a flagship anyway even the manufacturing cost would be single penny.

          Major problem of said companies is obssesion for money and greedines.
          In other words no matter how rich those companies and their people standing behind would be they still will have not enough.
          Even if they understands and realizes they wont take even a single penny to afterlife just like the Steve Jobs for example they still will feel poor and will rob innocent people, shred them from skin and act as innocent.
          Its almost 200 years from time when slavery were banned.
          Manners and ways changed but the basic is likely same.
          my honest words.

            Anonymous, 27 Jun 2023To save money .. nothing less.Man yes because SD slot and Jack adds 500 to price of the phone you funny,
            Its maybe 5 bucks maybe 10 not more.
            Your answer is stupid sorry.

              According to Heureka site i mean
              https://www.heureka.sk/?h%5Bfraze%5D=samsung+s23+ultra

              This site comapres anything you put into a search bar and it will show you prices and availability of the searched product among all vendors which have it for sale in my country.
              I exactly put Samsung S23 ultra just to show you that 8/256GB version cost from as low as 980 euros up to 1860,68 among all 58 vendors who sells this S23 ultra.
              And other example the 12/1TB versopn of S23 Ultra Samsung cost 1420 up to 2164,39 euros among 14 vendors.

              As you my ssee on the list there are no network carriers only casual shops with physical store you may walk in and so Eshops of course where you can buy only via online.
              But my point is as you may see several shops sells 8/128GB version more expensive than several others sells 12/1TB version.

              So like with everything all is vendor dependable and then a country dependable. I honestly believe that if i really would search whole internet from top to botto i would find same phone most specced version with price under 1000.

                  Cpt.Power, 27 Jun 2023Man yes yours because you dont understand my valid point. ... moreTo save money .. nothing less.

                    Cpt.Power, 27 Jun 2023Well rugged phones exist for like 12 years and all came wit... moreIt doesn't matter for me either, I bough the max specced vivo X Note, which has 512GB of storage, but obviusly no sd card slot and no headphone jack, but the latter doesn't matter to me either, as I have plenty of wireless earphones.

                    My only point was that companies and thus CEOs lie about this, it's obviusly because of profit and they obviusly wouldn't admit that.

                    You mentioned Apple being greedy. No. I mean sure they might be with plenty of things. However storage options are just as overpriced when it comes to other brands as well. In fact the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has almost the same price difference. The 12gb/256gb option costs 1200 usd, and the 12gb/512gb option is 1380 usd, so only 20 usd cheaper.

                      DarlingYext, 27 Jun 2023"Man and who told you that stupid thing???" No... moreWell rugged phones exist for like 12 years and all came with IP 68 or better and SD slot its not a valid point.
                      Apple is greedy as always was thats major reason why they have cloud storage and no SD slot.
                      Cables and vires in phones are another story that most CEO would say there is no space for something like SD slot or jack.
                      Even Unihertz Jelly pro its a 3 inch smartphone with 8GB ram and 512GB storage and a SD slot. Same goes for Oukitel K16 which is another 150 eur device like Unihertz Jelly pro with size of 3,5 inch and SD slot and cool specs for said price.
                      Like i said before for me it really does not matter since when my phone gets full i have my gaming laptop with extra space and a portable usb 2.0 Verbatim Elements HDD.
                      I am just saying my own opinion.

                        Cpt.Power, 27 Jun 2023 Man and who told you that stupid thing??? Feel free to as... more"Man and who told you that stupid thing???"

                        Nobody, it's obvius.

                        Why do you think the iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb is 1200 usd, but the 512gb version is 1400 usd? Micro SD cards are insanely cheap, a 256gb card costs 30 usd, that's nowhere near 200 usd. Of course the internal storage is faster, but it's still overcharging customers for something that they could just get for much less.

                        "Lastly for example several brands dont sell any earphones at all and they still ditched the jack and SD slot why???"

                        Tell me a brand like that please. Realme has TWS earphones, so does vivo and Oppo and OnePlus, Apple has multiple, Samsung as well, Google too, and even Nokia and Motorola have some. Even Sony makes TWS earphones and they have the headphone jack on their phones.

                        "If Motorola for example dont have own cloud sotrage what the point to not add SD slot to even 1000 eur phones."

                        Most people use Google's cloud storage.

                        "Feel free to ask Samsung CEO what they will tell you.
                        Feel free to ask any other CEO from any other major brand."

                        Have you ever heard of business secrets? They would tell me almost exactly what you did.

                        That there is either not enough space in the phone, or it's because of the dust and water resistance rating.

                        Which is bs. The Galaxy S8 is IP68 rated too.

                          DarlingYext, 27 Jun 2023"..main reason why companies ditching jack and SD slot... more Man and who told you that stupid thing???

                          Your point is tottaly wrong.

                          Lastly for example several brands dont sell any earphones at all and they still ditched the jack and SD slot why???
                          If Motorola for example dont have own cloud sotrage what the point to not add SD slot to even 1000 eur phones.

                          I really though people have head and brain to use them wisely but this is not the case.

                            Unfortunatelly the main reason is profit, so they can make you buy their wireless earphones and overcharge you for storage.

                                      And SD card slot is a mechanical part and thus easy to breaks and needs to be removed. Any hole in phone is good to catch dust, moisture, liquids and debris thus bad for a phone.
