smash, 30 Jun 2018why do we need SDCARDs , when m.2 ssd offer more for lessShow me, how can you put SSD NVme M.2 in a smartphone and a camera.

    Woh, 128TB local MicroSD storage!? I will never be running out of local storage anytime soon. Fck the cloud!

    Really would love to see at least SDUC III support in the Note 9. It's beyond time that Smartphones supported those dual row of pins MicroSD cards.

      Lesson , 29 Jun 2018None of new smartphone have SD card slot now they are only ... moreOf course you are right. Whenever sd card slot is mentioned in a phone, it is a shortcut for microsd card slot (µsd or usd). And yes, the article talks of sd cards not microsd but for sure, it will come to micro sd cards too in the future.

          You misread his comment. Anon is correct, no smartphones today comes with SD card slot. Most phones comes with MicroSD card slot. Big difference.

            All the major Android players have it though.
            Who in their right mind would choose one of those replikas over a real high-end flagship?
            I know I wouldn't..

              I'm guessing there will also be SD express based on UHS II and UHS III coming in the next few years

                        And stop promoting crippled, overpriced phones with high internal storage but no sd card expansion. Nobody should ever buy them. Not only are they overpriced for the amount of internal storage they offer, but their internal storage cannot be transferred should you decide to upgrade to a new phone. No sd card slot = PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE on steriods.

Besides, the cloud is more prone to sophisticated hacking because your data is exposed not only to local petty hackers, but a WHOLE WORLDWIDE COMMUNITY of SEASONED, HIGHLY SKILLED international hackers. Now you know!
