      Also there's although not standardized due to Huawei being the pioneer & west Chinaphobe NANO Memory cards that are literrally the same size as NANO sims much smaller than microSD.

      So no! It's not because of constraint of space but more so to force consumers to buy the more expensive phones.

        I would use that.
        Ye i am watching videos on my phone too but usually something shorter around 20 minutes or less and mostly from youtube. For longer videos i use my laptop or TV.
        Dont want to ruin my eyes by watching a movie on a 6 inch screen.
        And the main reason it got removed its because its mechanical slot which require lot of disk space and another extra for vires. So yes its not needed and it got removed.
        We all going with age and got used this ancient tool or invention is no longer present in current spartphone era. You get used with that too like many who thinks just like you.

It has no Knox that is permanently tripped that disables some functions on the phone when bootloader unlocked(samsung pay, vault, etc.). You can also downgrade firmware on Sony if you don't like lets say Android 13 you can go back to Android 12. Samsung nope! They also blocked it basically your stuck with what the latest Android it got updated with so if they release a botched update on its final support, basically you are forced to buy a new phone.

              The S20 FE 5G was about 540 euro. I got the 256GB version (max) + 1TB SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card.
              So yeah, I'm switching to Sony for my next phone.
              Samsung would attract so many people if they would bring the SD card slot and the 3.5mm jack on high-end flagships. It's like they don't want to make extra profit.
              BTW, most of the storage is Star Trek series + music on my phone . But yeah , I have some pr0n as well 😂.
              Also , I really don't understand the hate for such a request. It's just an empty slot if you don't want to use it after all. Why is everyone against it? Because Apple doesn't have it? What's the logic here?

                Man at first you have to ask your self if you need such many P*rn hub videos in your phone.
                The second question is if you could afford S20FE why you did not buy an Ultra version of Samsung phone with 1TB diskspace.

                  Kosinic, 02 May 2023Why is Galaxy S20 series being left out on every damn thing... moreMan with upcomming S24 or S25 after 2 years there still will be more toys to play with and all phones which does not receive anymore updates will looks obviously bad.
                  by the way if you check for google play store you can find several simmilar apps to this one obviously better which you can use even with older samsung phones.

                          I'm using Galaxy A51 with One UI 5.1 (Android 13), and thats a phone from 2019. Will definitely buy new Samsung phone next year. 👍

It won't get anymore feature updates but just security & by the end of it's support will get a botched up update to force you to buy a new Samsung phone.

                                They are copying apple so no suprise there.
