AnonD-844232, 22 Jun 2022That you talking theoretical speeds which manuf always put... moreOk, I admit you're right about peak speeds.
But now if we compare real life speeds of both 4G and microSD card, which is higher? You know the answer.
As for write speeds, you have to use a modern phone, even my old laptop sd port gives it some 25MB/s but card isn't bad for this. I'll share some figures of my Samsung 512 GB UHS 3 card:-
1. Write Speeds minimum, that it is legally expected to comply with (as per UHS3 standard) = 30MB/ second.
2. Write speeds Samsung claims for this particular card = 90MB/ second.
3. Write speed I actually got within the phone= 66.xx MB/ second on average. Peak around maybe 70-75MB/s.
So yes, like most things, real life speeds are lower but it still is good enough in my opinion.
Putting into perspective, to record a 8K24p video today, you need just 10 MB/ second (in the H.265/ HEVC standard).
Plus, cloud is never yours even after payment, you don't even know where your data is stored in the world and who accesses it. And when it will be gone.
I think it was clear when Google forced all Photos to be resized to 3.15 Megapixels..
Just a $60 card gives you 512GB of true freedom and ownership.
A 1TB UHS 3 card with higher read speeds costs $200~ (equivalent) in my country.

Olympus Oms, 22 Jun 20222 great phones in your name.
I am not using it! And you ... moreIt might be "slower" than internal memory, but it is not "slow", it can record slow motion, 4K & 8K videos, that's proving the point enough. Get your facts right... Problem is you guys get the cheapest card online, and often its a slow/fake card.
Since every phone has a SIM slot anyways which is in a shared tray with MicroSD slot, your point about weather sealing is proved wrong. Phones like Sony flagships, LG G8x, some gaming phones, have weather sealing with microSD card slot.
And you said, "Only keyboard trolls hides behind no names!"... So, you mean your real name is Olympus and the name I used "Samath" is not my real life name? Are you sure?
Wait, did you just troll yourself after being proven wrong?
And other things you mentioned in your post, no idea what to say to you.

I've pocophone f1 & looking to upgrade... moreJust gave up getting the Note 20 ultra 5g Snapdragon 512GB. Reasons is the gear vr. And some "AHEM" videos.
I have no problems with smartphones that has no audio jack. What's important to me is the MicroSD card. Or better. Wait for a 2TB android smartphone.
