Kris17, 19 Apr 2023My gripe is with MTP alone. Now that you have mentioned it,... moreMicroSD cards are usually pre-formatted by the vendor with exFAT, which is supported by pretty much any computer and mobile phone since the last decade, and was heroically open-sourced by Microsoft in 2019.
It mainly is not USB 2.0 that limits the speed of file transfer through USB, but the extremely poor ability of MTP, the Media Transfer Protocol, to handle many small files.
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is apparently on Google's kill list, so better not get used to its convenience. Be prepared for Android OS to become the twin of iOS. Google has made it abundantly clear that the founding principle of Android OS, user freedom, means zilch to them. Nothing.

HT, 19 Apr 2023At least we agree that MTP is Massive Trash Protocol.
Ho... moreMy gripe is with MTP alone. Now that you have mentioned it, it bottlenecks all file transfers of ALL Android phones to USB 2.0. It is also something that can be fixed by software. The problem with it, it is a standardized protocol. Hard to remove.
For me, flagship is speed, speed is everything. Which is why it doesn't bother me that flagships don't have the SD card slot. Haven't used it in 5 years, no issues. Ejecting, formatting, and re-inserting is considered time wasted. I just want to plug-in and transfer.
However, this clunky MTP does, say, if you want to transfer files 300GB+. Must result to adb push. It must be improved. Google! You can do it! Pretty please?!

Anonymous, 19 Apr 2023when did oppo xiamo and vivo became top camera phones XDWhere have you been living these days? It's 2023 man, come out of the cave then update your knowledge. Samsung is a famous brand, but does mean it has good camera quality. The camera quality of the S23 Ultra is even worse than the S22 Ultra last year. There are at least 4-5 topics on XDA confirmed by many users this problem.
For comparison between phones, try searching anywhere S23 Ultra camera vs Vivo X90 Pro Plus, Oppo Find X6 Pro or Xiaomi 13 Ultra, even dead phone no Google Huawei P60 Pro. No one concluded that Samsung S23 Ultra has better camera, except 1 or 2 guys that received money from Samsung to review.
I know Samboys are a lot, but accepting the truth is not that hard.

Still going on about SD Cards? Omg, some people really have time on their hands. Why don't you continue on other flagship pages? None have SD cards anymore, except Sony. One valid point tho. MTP needs to be replaced.
To think, we have super fast UFS4.0 that can move data 4000Mbps, we have a super fast USB 3.2 port that can move data at 20Gbps. To be bogged down by an ancient software protocol that is as ancient as the SD card itself?? Android really needs an update for this in future releases, a new standardization. I mean, not everyone knows how to overcome MTP by using adb or at least ftp. Common Google, how is this still an issue??

For me, I stopped storing music on my cell phones many years ago. I only stream my music. From either one of my Plex machines at home, or a music streaming service. I've not had any issues with it, since I have cell service 99.99% of the time here in the DC area. On Verizon. Even in a building without a DAS. I will still get cell service when I'm several sub-basement levels down.

[deleted post]Idiotic is treating internal storage as a permanent archive.
There hardly is a more vulnerable way of storing data.
