What on the earth, the current flagship of all brands has microSD slot.
You said what you have said (e.g you need a complete flagahip phone with microSD slot) and you used Ferrari as your example of your writing. This is an indicator that you do not need flagship one and are dreaming.

Samsung (and others) simply wouldn't stop making phones without these features if they were so essential to the mass public - they want as many people to buy their phones as possible.

To ask for so much, yet to omit that easy to implement feature: MicroSD.
I am NOT saying I do not need flagships. I am saying I am disappointed that cheaper phones include it, yet the most expensive ones, with performance I want, omit this.
You assume too much.
Why omit cloud and MicroSD? I use both.

This is Samsung page, so I can say that you do not need S series/Fold series/Flip series, you need A2x series that has your all requirements. In older Galaxy, you can search A8 (2018), it has all except wireless charging (please do not say you need it as well).
Of course, you have money and you want all with your money. Can we? Yes, if we are Billionaires, but Billionaires do not care about microSD slot, dont they?
If you need a Ferrari to strengthen your writing, of course you may think why we need a Ferrari when we have the same road and Ferrari is still using tyres.
Why do we need the flagship phone while we can use the cheapest one maximally?
Cloud is the thing we are directed to. That is a simple answer why the big phone companies (and followed by others) slowly disappear microSD slot. And that is required: subcriptions.
(Peace)

Older phones with same design didn't have that issue.
Oh well. Why buy more expensive flagship for less features? I would expect more expensive = more features. Who cares if you don't need it? The point is, for THAT kind of money I expect something as essential as the slot... And the 3.5. And the phones are waterproof with the 3.5. It's like paying for a Ferrari and finding out the best of them don't include an option for a DSG or air conditioner. Unless you buy "pure experience" then don't make much sense.
And Apple NEVER included MicroSD. It's a closed ecosystem. Do you want Android going the way of Apple?

I know SD cards are important to some - but to the vast majority, I really don't think it's an issue... the fact that the two biggest phone manufacturers in the world (Apple and Samsung) both stopped including them kind of says it all.

But not having a MicroSD? Okay for those who don't experiment or like transferring data and all that.
It's not expensive. Just pop in the card and that's that. Restore apps in 10 or so minutes. No need to wait. And no need to back up data unless you buy cheap cards.
I root. I need the slot just in case something happens. Imagine having to recopy everything every time something goes wrong.
But oh well. I'm staying with my current phone. It doesn't slow down. It has everything apart from 5G. What's the difference between older and newer if there is no difference in general and power usage?

vjx012, 26 Feb 2024When you brick your phone or lose internet connection or so... morePersonally, it's not a big deal to me - I have all my data (almost 1TB) backed up anyway. As for transferring it all, I just left my two phones running Smart Switch overnight - and that was it.
I can see the benefits of an SD card slot, but big companies like Apple and Samsung haven't had them for years now... same with the headphone jack. It's time to move on.

When your phone breaks, good luck accessing your data. Do you intend to sync your data with your PC every time you add something? And what when you change your phone, are you willing to wait until the transfer of old data is complete?
And what about when rooting? Keeping app data on SD card then simply popping it in is simple, then you restore apps and data instead of waiting for Google to restore it, and without having to reconfigure vast majority of apps.
Total time to restore all: 10-12 minutes for apps and data.
Hour or some more until you restore settings.
Without setting up fingerprint, and all that, it takes... 12 minutes to restore apps and data from MicroSD.
Huh... And you wonder why people miss the SD slot.
