just a smile, 01 May 2023Who the hell would charge and transfer at the same time?Probably a person who wants to cook eggs on the phone.

    I wanted to share my negative experience with the S23 Ultra 1TB that I purchased in Online Dubai , particularly regarding its poor connectivity despite strong 5G signal. As a gamer, a stable connection is essential for me, but unfortunately, the S23 Ultra kept disconnecting me from data with the dreaded message 'Connection lost, Reconnecting...'. This has been particularly frustrating while playing Mobile Legends, as it disrupts the gameplay and ruins the overall experience.

    Despite attempting a factory reset of the settings to resolve the issue, the connectivity problem persisted. Consequently, I decided to take my S23 Ultra 1TB to the service center for assistance. They attempted to fix it with a software reset, but unfortunately, the issue persisted. I am now at a loss for what to do next and would appreciate any advice. It's disappointing to have such persistent problems with a device that I purchased with high hopes.

            Anonymous, 01 May 2023You don't plug in flash drive and play games or give i... moreLmao, I love how saying "I am easily expanding my storage internally so I can use it with things I want with" only reveals your own ignorance about how microSD is simply "just another medium for file exchange" which misses the points around what I was making to begin with - so lets talk about this with *some* level of openness, you lot can fight amongst yourselves

            The major appeal with having expandable internal storage is that you don't *need* a flash drive to begin with, you can simply mount the device through MTP (or another protocol if the device may need help being recognised by Windows for example) and copy your files directly to your phone (hell, you can even do it with Wi-fi depending on the speed of your connection and a syncing app of your own choice) - A flash drive adds bulk to the phone if you have it plugged in as a pseudo-replacement for internal E/S and at that point, you may as well invest more into getting a phone with higher internal storage (hence this point: "...the major reason from Samsungs perspective is to squeeze as much money out of you, the end-user/consumer bc at that point, hey you're spending $1600 on a new device - what does it matter to you having expandable storage")

            Also MicroSD isn't dead anyway?? The format still sees massive use as an easy storage medium between different devices - phones are no exception to this, the only reason that I alluded to as to its removal are both for driving consumers to inferior "alternatives" (which, again, if you're all about storage - despite it being boring - does not a replacement for expandability make in the long-run - if you care about file backups or data hoarding etc) besides other generalised trends such as the rise of streaming (however that these have become justifications in themselves to remove end-user functionality, rather than say to allow for progression in this space - a la facilitating development of faster storage mediums like the previous UFS Card format into these phones, which *would* conceivably give Samsung another revenue stream through closed-ecosystem lockdown [bad idea mind] - is mind boggling to me!)

            In general there is no suitable alternative that can be suggested here or elsewhere, and making assumptions about what "an average user will use" instead of allowing for developments that bring down the base level of storage not at 256GB but at 512GB/1TB minimum will still necessitate the microSDs inclusion as a cheap, (somewhat) open medium for storage expandability

            Again anon, you are the culmination of the platforms Smartest User - Making a redundant comment about a potential alternative to something instead of understanding the continued usefulness of that feature and voting with your own wallet to enable greater hardware openness instead of the planned obscolescent hellscape we're in within the phone landscape (if you want to be optimistic about the current technological landscape at the moment)

You plug in and transfer your files. You remove it and everything is alright. Micro sd is dead. Don't bother people anymore. Go and meet with Samsung CEO and complain there.

                        Anonymous, 29 Apr 2023Expandable Storage is great, once you start filling your st... moreI can only understand the appeal of removing microSD if the lower end starts adopting 1TB or even 512GB as your *base* storage (though I would much rather the former bc of the way I use my phones storage for music syncing over streaming bc I have high-bitrate files myself), but the major reason from Samsungs perspective is to squeeze as much money out of you, the end-user/consumer bc at that point, hey you're spending $1600 on a new device - what does it matter to you having expandable storage

                        Also reading the alternatives to this miss a major point that if you're expanding storage you are *not* doing it to get a higher speed, its like having a HDD/SSD combo in a normal desktop PC - the convenience of higher capacity outweighs the need for faster speeds unless you absolutely prioritise the latter such that having a lower capacity is redundant (which is fine, but posing "alternatives" like cloud storage and flash drives is, with all due respect, representative of the kinds of problems I see on this site when it comes to understanding storage needs imo)

What a joke.Depends what you're using for one, and the transfer settings that you've got enabled lmao - Samsung phones have a major tendency to lock doing traditional syncing over USB in my exp even with MTP selected which makes it a hassle to sync over files
