A MicroSD card can be ejected from a bootlooping phone and read from a computer or a different MicroSD-supporting phone. Work can continue nearly immediately.

A MicroSD card is contained inside the phone, like a battery.
For the same reason, a large battery is necessary even though power banks exist.

I keep coming back to this thread, because like you, I have strong opinions. 512 GB is a lot of space. I used to have the 512 S22U as well. During its lifecycle, I hardly every reached 50% of storage capacity.
One thing I've been forgetting. This phone has USB 3.2 OTG feature as well. You can plug it directly into the port, and I believe it will beat the transfer speeds of any SD card. If you need immediate extra storage. Hope that tickles your pickle. This phone has so many features, I forget to use half of them.

I don't see how whether a phone supports SD card and performance are even remotely related to each other. It's not like you 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 to put an SD card in there. Care to explain yourself?

That sounds like a very uncommon (and possibly subjective) issue. Have you done research to see if others have the same experience?

Then Android phones performs really well even with 8 gig of ram.

And how many people own/manage a business? Of course there are reasons for needing 2 sim card slots, however, and I argue, this is a niche category of users. As more phones move onto e-SIMs, there will be even less of a need for physical SIM cards, ultimately driving this argument futile.

I agree. The funny thing is, clearly you are directing that statement to me and other SD card defenders.

Well, you are definitely right about that. If this debate is useless, then why do you keep on replying back to this thread?
With regards to your last statement, I do agree. Internal storage options such as 512GB are very normal on flagship phones these days, and considering UFS 4.0 speeds are as fast as PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives, it is a big win over using SD card as storage expansion. So perhaps the need for SD cards has waned out for flagships, but the versatility of having "plug-and-play" media still stands. It's a nice bonus regardless.

Those who commented below have given valid reasons, being it degrades user experience. There is clear a difference between listening to logic and being close minded. Regardless of opinions, I doubt it will return in flagships, like PC optical drives. So this debate is quite useless.
On the subject about the system, the 23U does takehefty 50GB of internal storage, mostly for apps required to run the system, and RAM+ that eats about 8GB. But having the 512GB version, I still have 85% of room to spare with all apps installed.

It's the same with USB flash drive. If you want to preserve high quality images or videos, then safe option would be storing files on cloud storage, sign up to photo sharing platform like Flickr or buy a Solid-state drive for your computer. One last note, MicroSD will be decommissioned by the 2030s, SanDisk will be the first to do it, then others will follow.

You're goddamn ridiculous mate. Just stop making more silly arguments, save yourself from embarrassment.
As for all the other users in this thread who are so keen on decrying SD cards, come up with one good valid argument why phones should stop supporting SD card expansion. I listen to logic, not nonsense, and so far I've only been seeing nonsense.

HT, 13 Apr 2023If your phone is stuck in a boot loop or bricked by an upda... moreFlawed logic. Developers would never release an update that will brick their users phone knowingly. Modern day Android implements secure bootloaders, and protects the kernel from tampering, thus, bricking a device is much harder to do. Scenarios such as these are extremely unlikely. Unless you are talking about Android 10 years ago, in an age where users are free to flash custom ROMs. We don't do this anymore as it a huge security risk.
This would also explain your dated mindset and why you would defend a dated technology such as the SD card. They were useful in the past, still are in some applications, but I urge you to move with the times.
Flagships exist for enhanced user experience. I'd rather just plug-in usb, transfer files ASAP, and get on with life, rather than fiddle around with gimmicky cards. The S23U fulfills this purpose. It is a great phone.

And with MicroSD, a collection can be moved instantaneously between phones, and files' date and time attributes are retained as well.
