Great decision, s22 ultra is the best all in one phone for this year without a direct competition really and I`m not even a samsung fan

    People buy expensive phones with less features because there is no choice. Literally none. Except Sony's (which only available in select markets), flagship phones and now even midranges have less features.
    True, manufacturers not listen to what people wants, but more importantly, they want to get more money by overpricing the phone's RAM & storage option, also force people to buy their TWS and charging bricks.

      1st. Did I say phones are better without the SD card?
      2nd. No, they didn't pay me anything. Would be nice if they did.
      3rd. It is the truth. It has been years since the removal of the SD card slot on the S phones. Like years. And what's the point of the card anyway when the based storage is already 128GB? 128GB is more than enough for normal usage. And instead of whining here, why not ACTUALLY BUY A PHONE WITH AN SD CARD? If yall love the SD card that much, then PAY FOR IT.

If people really wanted jack and microSD, why the best selling models in the world are iPhones which don't have neither of that? Why would Galaxy S series sell so good, when it's the same case? Why would more and more phones be introduced without jack and microSD?
            Face it, real people don't care what local geeks want. Manufacturers care even less, they make what people buy.

                how to stop their nonsense ??? i dont know how ... they didn't even bother to appreciate the gsmarena.com poll result

                      They cancelled it because the S21FE didn't sell well and they still have tons of A series still in the warehouse unsold.

                        And yes, manufacturers can make phones for everyone. They just need to make 2 variants; one with micro sd & headphone jack, one without. Problem solved. They can make 3 or 5 or even 10 variants of the same series, so making 2 phones should be much easier.
                        Also, micro sd is very reliable in my experience. My Nokia 3660 dead years ago but the 32mb card inside still works today. 2gb card i have in Nokia c6 also still works. My current 32gb card was in 3 different phones. Sure, internal storage may be more reliable, but when the phone dies, the data is unrecoverable.

At this point whining about it ain't gonna do anything but annoy people. We have to accept it. FE phones are supposed to be more affordable S phones but with mostly the same interior, so they can have premium phones with their designs from their premium phones without having to paying much. Not about what the fans want.

                                  Hey Samsung, real fans want headphone jack and sdcard slot. If the phone has neither, don't call it FE and don't release it.

No problems. It was also in my Note 9 for 12 months. The less cards are moved around the better my experience has been. With file transfer apps available nowadays there's much less need to do so. I'm an 11 year Android(Samsung) user. However because of that I'm less annoyed than in the past about any lack of an SD card slot. .
