What about you running out of space when you need to download/transfer stuff. THIS is hilarious

    Wow the only reason I was a Samsung fanboy was the micro SD card. I have a S20 and a S9. It is time to upgrade the S9 and Samsung screwed me. I'll look for something with the SD card support first. Or may defect to Apple for the first time ever. Thanks for the memories Samsung.

      The guy who originally tweeted this is now saying the official spec sheet doesn't show sd card for the s21 ultra 🙄

        Samsung's S10 is the last desirable device in the Galaxy lineup. It includes the wired 3.5mm jack which for audio quality is far superior to bluetooth and eliminates the charging hassle. It also comes with great AKG earphones, unlike the S21 which doesn't include earbuds. For others like myself who feel cloud storage has security issues and can come at a monthly expense, microSD not only addresses those concerns, it eliminates the need to pay a hefty premium for devices with expanded internal storage. It also eliminates the pain of transferring large amounts of data to a different device. The S10 display is 1440 pixels which beats the S21 at 1080. The S10 doesn't have the protruding camera frame on the back panel and all S10 back panels are glass instead of plastic. The NEW BIG DEAL in the S21 is the Ultra getting S-Pen functionality but Samsung doesn't include that either, it's an at cost option. They've gone back to antiquated flat displays on the S21, guess they no longer feel immersive displays look great. Plus no worries, the S10 includes a charger for free. Samsung, get back to equipping devices with features people want and why not offer every Galaxy with the same SoC?

I did consider, if I should wait and pay a little more (400?) for the "latest and greatest", but decided to save my money and buy S20 5G. Now I see it was the right move. Thank you Samsung!

                You know the correct Korean pronunciation for Samsung is "Same-song"...
                Which is appropriate because Samsung is singing the same song as Apple, in all matters.

                Samsung, wake up, you're on a bloated Android, not some optimised iOS. Read: you have substitutes...

                  No micro sd in the regular S21 means no more samsung for me. S20is my last and I upgrade every year. Not going through another S6 stupidity.

                    Mar52 , 05 Jan 2021Wow, no ear buds then the worst, no charger in the box, wha... moreWere you actually planning to upgrade from FE? That phone is good for atleast 5 more years. I know I'm going to keep my S8 for a long time. And when they decide it's time for a silent killer-update, I'm probably going to move on from Samsung.

                    They are testing how far they can go just like Apple.

You clearly have no idea what youre talking about! 😂 So in that logic, instead of a bulky laptop why not just have everyone have a dedicated camera to take photos or videos that btw also uses sdcards soit wont fill up the phones storage? 😂

                          Wow, no ear buds then the worst, no charger in the box, what, huh? Thanks apple 🙄. 2of3, PLASTIC, 2of3, no micro s/d expansion, oh boy? Guess what, I'm definitely keeping my FE that I paid 549.00 buck-a-roos for, just saying! Sure the triple8 processer is very nice but the 865processer is just as good. It just seems your paying more & getting less!

                            JACK SPARROW, 05 Jan 2021Give me a 3.5mm earphone jack and keep the micro sd slotYou are NUTS! I only sued headphone jack for credit card reader. The MicroSD card allows you to switch phones in a few min instead of waiting hours to copy thousands of photos and videos from one phone to another. I will never buy Samsung again if it doesn't support MicroSD (I have a 1TB card in my S20 Ultra)

                              lol removing the micro SD option so they can charge 100 euros extra for each increment of expandable memory apple style while their own UFS cards are cheap on amazon.
                              On top of that, make their S and S+ have a downgrade in screen to FHD+ but charge the same price or more than the previous gen upon release.
                              If the performance is not noticeable on a day to day basis, it wouldnt surprise me people would just get the S20 series instead when their price fall.

                                      They keep crippling in the lower tier S lineup phones in hopes people will just jump on the >1000$ Ultra hype train... I think people will just realize they're better off with a 200$ Xiaomi instead...

                                      Keep digging your own grave, Samsung.
