Darknoor, 26 Jun 2022Companies will remove it regardless, they will do anything ... moreIt's really scary indeed. We just can't let these companies decide whatever they want for the consumers, especially if what they're doing is not resolving any problem at all, heck even introduces a new one.
We are becoming successful now against Apple's anti-Right to Repair practices, and I believe we can also do the same for the return of consumer-friendly essential phone features that are in danger or has been stripped away.

I bought a 32GB phone years ago and thought I would need to get an SD card right away for it. Years later and I still haven't bought one, I never needed it in the end. As long as you offload stuff lower storage sizes should be fine.

MicroSD babies, wake up, it's time for you to start a new wave of complaining how you desperately need the cards and the world would end without them...

So much for the "nothing".

40% votes is enough to make majority government in our country.. how can you say microSD slot is not important when 40% people won't buy a phone without it... All shows your manipulation over your readers to change their views by getting paid from manufacturers

I prefer phones that has micro SD for seperating between apps and music.
For example im using Redmi Note 10, which has 128 GB. I bought Micro SD 128 GB for Photos, Music and some downloadable documents.
I use that because i want to use phone memory for r downloading or updating apps since apps are getting bigger and bigger.
So yeah, for me micro SD is quite important. Not many people can buy expensive flagship phone.

What bothers me the most is that the results of this poll would give manufacturers the "courage" to remove the microSD card slot on all smartphones altogether, including the cheapest entry level tier of Androids that still offer it.
I would've loved to see an option for "It's one of my considerations in making a purchase" since I'd still rather have the expandability option even if I won't need it, rather than desperately need to expand my storage capacity but not get the ability to do so from my phone.

Lccy, 26 Jun 2022I guess people don't record much video on their phones... moreThey do allow it but it's limited to 1080p 30fps on 128GB models, while it is the full 4K 30fps on higher storage configurations.

I think Apple doesn't allow you to record prores on your iPhone 13 pro unless you have the larger storage models.

Well i'm okay with 128GB, i couldn't even fill the 64GB in a year so it's good for me.

Hybrid Dual Sim + SD is a stupid idea. It costs nothing for a manufacturer to include both as full dual sim+sd. It worries me that people with limited technological understanding even see "hybrid" as a feature although it is just a slap in the face of the consumer...
If "hybrid" is one reason why Samsung has 50 million unsold phones on their shelfs I can only say "well deserved'. May the "hybrid" advocates all have partners which are either nice OR good looking...

The problem with sd card now is lack of supporting apps. If this was 2015, things might have been a lot better.

You are forgetting that SD card not only is an extra storage, but also means of transferring large amounts of data to/from phone, and it is in this role that I consider it to be a must have option.
And I bet anything, that more that half of those who chose large storage values, missed that 'in use' bit and just reported the total amount.
