1) stuck with their old ones
2) imported a Samsung with BOTH IP68 and Removable batteries from US/EU
3) bought ones with sealed battery even if they didn't like it.
Lack of choice doesn't mean acceptance.

And those sealed variant ones have a chance to lose their ip68 rating once they get repaired if the service center cannot replicate the sealing method.

It doesn't take a genius to know that they want you to buy their cloud storage solutions and their wireless earbuds. It's all about maximum profits.

i really wish micro sd cards were still a thing just like with wired headphones. I'm currently using a asus zenfone 6. My requirements for a phone nowadays are either large storage (256gb or greater) + dual sim or microsd card + dual sim. The zenphone fits both of those checkboxes, so i got it. I really like the camera on it, but Phone cases for it are terrible. i haven't found a good one yet, that's rugged and durable. I am kind of the opposite of most people, and like large storage so i can have all my photos, apps and videos on my phone and not in the cloud. 128gb is nowhere near enough for me, and even though i could plug a usb drive into a phone for watching movies on a plane, i prefer them on a micro sd card, so i don't have to use a usb drive. I guess i'm kinda old fashioned, and again prefer my stuff on my phone and not in the cloud. I really wish most phone vendors still used micro sd cards, but alas they prefer to just remove them and push for bigger internal phone storage. oh well

SD cards are pointless, the only device I have that still uses one is my camera and I never use my camera anymore. I can't wait for these to become 100% obsolete like 5.25 floppies...
