Sam N8 808 owner, 27 Dec 2024Not really. Adaptors hang outside and they're not pere... moreOkay, mister "intellectual", here are a couple solutions for stubborn people like you who still want the jack and card slot:
If you don't want to use adaptors, go buy an entry-level or lower-midrange phone like Redmi Note 14, Realme 13+, Moto G64, etc.
If you don't want an entry-level phone, go buy a Sony phone or an HTC U24 Pro.
If Sony and HTC phones are not available in your country, go import them.
If you don't wanna import and you're still hellbent on wanting a flagship both the jack and card slot, then you're effectively screwed. Sorry, complaining is not an option.

Sam N8 808 owner, 27 Dec 2024Let's talk logically. We had these features since ages... moreThey remove the headphone jack and card slot to make you buy wireless headphones and cloud storage. There you go, that's the most straightforward answer.
If you can't live with these features, that's fine, but keep in mind there's virtually nothing you can do to convince corporations to change their ways. Sorry, but people like you are just in the vocal minority of all phone buyers.
Pretty much the ONLY brand to keep those features for flagships is Sony, but who knows how long they will continue to be in the market, given how overpriced their phones are and how limited they are in terms of availability.
So yeah, whatever flagship phone you have currently, enjoy it while it still works. In the future, I bet not a single flagship phone out there will have both a jack and card slot anymore.

Hi, 25 Dec 2024I really don't understand what the heck u talking bout...Let me clarify..
You can't use pendrive because then you'll have a separate object you have to carry apart from the phone. Plus, camera apps don't record to pendrive, you'll need a card.
Installing a MicroSD is a 1 minute process, but its a one time process, and doesn't hang outside the phone.
Plus, with a 512GB high speed costing around $30 now (in India), you're done for a lot of years.
But companies would want you to get new phones.. so... now you get my point.
The price difference between 128GB and 512GB versions of iPhone 15 is now double (x2) (Rs. 49999 vs 99999 in India). It means mobile companies want to profit, to allow you to keep your old memories, while it shouldn't be so.
Have I proven my point? I'm talking for general interest of consumers.

Anonymous, 26 Dec 2024This goes to you Sam N8 808 owner, and other complainers. T... moreNot really. Adaptors hang outside and they're not perennially usable source.
For example, most Gallery apps don't work on files from external storage, like pen drives, adaptors, etc.
I use 4K60 recording on my phone, and I can't set its memory to a pen drive/adaptor. Its either microSD or internal, only 2 choices.
So there you go, you didn't talk about a solution. No intelligent comment.

Its purely our feeling, no one brainwashed us.
We didn't go to a biased youtube video and make illogical calls on public forums that "memory card slot should be removed because microSD card is a slow memory". Its slow but who forces you to insert one? Why not let the slot remain empty for all (to decide on their own)?
I have a flagship and it has a memory card slot, and a 1TB card and I'm enjoying.
If logic doesn't convince you, I have no choice but to assume that you're opposing the microSD party because you're jealous they have a choice.
And to give you some thing to think about: why have they removed the slots and jacks from flagships first? and not the low enders? Think. (to give you a hint: waterproofing, less space inside, etc are not the correct answers)

Take a look around you, most recently released phones that still have both the card slot and headphone jack are limited to just the low-end and lower-midrange segments.
But just because they aren't flagships doesn't mean they're not good. Especially if you're not a spec freak and just want a phone that works for everyday use.
You're better off finding a phone that takes your fancy instead of being all whiny here.

Keep in... moreMfer I own a phone with both SD Card slot and headphone jack. It's old! It's getting harder and harder to upgrade. Why should I have to deal with a scarce selection of good phones to get features that were so standard people took them for granted? Just because a shill like you is happy letting brands charge more for less? Who tf are you? Acting like you own the company or this website. Annoying lil brat
I'd buy a Sony phone, they don't sell it here, importation costs 2x at least on top of an already expensive phone.
And the phone is Tiny!

Either get a phone with the jack and card slot (Realme 13+, Galaxy A25, Redmi Note 14, Moto G64, Xperia 1 VI) or don't buy any phone at all. Sorry bro, companies aren't your friends and they will never bring back those features once they remove them.

These cheapskates at samsung won't even include an SD card slot on their phones. At least their flagship ones.

[deleted post]Stop calling people "shills" for recommending you alternative solutions like using a dongle or USB flash drive. If you have a flagship Samsung like the S21 series and newer, what other solutions do you have? They won't bring back the card slot no matter how much you and several others cry about it.
Go buy a Galaxy A-series phone and grow up.
