Adding 1 mm of thickness would allow for far more battery space than the lack of the MicroSD card slot. And it does not subject your photo and video memories to the vulnerability of a broken phone.

Where "old technology" is less vulnerable to data loss, "old technology" is superior.

When your phone is broken and your data is inaccessible due to being stored internally, the last thing on your mind will be that millimetre of added thickness.

    HT, 12 Apr 2023You really enjoy losing your data, don't you?Cloud storages, internal storages. Way too much storage already available. No need for slow micro sd cards. Wasted space in tiny body. Slightly larger battery > micro sd, slight bigger camera sensor > micro sd, literaly anything inside tiny phone > micro sd. I rather have better vibration motor than micro sd. Ancient technology, use it only for dash cams and similar slow things

I'm just going by personal experience, having done both: for the micro SD card, put it in the laptop and drop/drag the files you want to the portable HDD or laptop's HDD. And similarly for the internal phone storage, attach the phone to the laptop using USB C to C cable and transfer the files the same way.

            I would say it's exactly the same experience - but with micro SD card you have to take your phone case off and take the SD card out and put it in the laptop (which can be fiddly)... it's actually a lot easier with internal storage just to plug in a C to C cable 😄

              It is known for being slow, laggy, and buggy. In comparison, mass storage is fast and smooth. MicroSD is accessed as mass storage device if connected to a computer.

              Can you open a folder with 3000 files through MTP or does it freeze or give you some whiny "couldn't get object handles" error halfway through?

Everybody has their own lifestyle and needs. However it was quite handy for those who liked the versatility of portable storage, maybe for music lovers or photographers.

                            You simply can't beat the simplicity and versatility of swapping files through physical storage compared to cloud solutions and their UP/DL wait times.

                                The fact you cry over a Micro SD card still is sad in itself. It's 2023, it is not coming back, get over it. Use the cloud. Grow up.

                                      Additionally, it is easier to back up a MicroSD card than internal storage due to the slowness and constant freezing of the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). Only MicroSD can be read as a mass storage device, which is significantly faster and smoother.
