Supposedly it's encrypted they say, but don't ya know that the server also has the key?
You remember getting gmail and constantly getting ads on it? It means somebody is scanning your files.
Just keep that in mind while you are free to choose whatever you like.

    There is an open source app called syncthing that does that.
    it's not a convenient app, however.

It's all to suck more money out of us and you can't do anything about it. That's the ugly truth. Make use of this time and buy a Sony Xperia smartphone while they still have these features on their smartphones, cause it might not take long for them to drop the card slot and headphone jack too.

          Anonymous, 08 Nov 2024They are both useless features. SD Card; Pictures? How are... moreSubscription? To pay for something that I don't own? To store my file on someone else's computer? Yeah, no thanks, I'll pass. I'd rather lost my files rather than paying for cloud. Also, the internet connection here is bad, even in the capital city.

          There's a time I want to use my headphone while at the same time charging my phone. And NO don't give me that dongle suggestion. That's a huge hassle, and such thing can be prevented if the company actually cared about the minority of its consumers. Next time they'll remove the charging port and you guys will say "jUsT uSe wiReLesS cHarGiNg"

          You guys will literally do anything to defend anti-consumerism lol.

            The AQUOS R9 pro is equipped with Vario-Summicron*2 camera system, which consists of triple cameras (standard, wide-angle, and telephoto) supervised by Leica Camera AG (headquarters: Wetzlar, Germany). It uses high-definition 50.3 MP image sensors for all three cameras. The standard camera is equipped with a 1/0.98-inch image sensor that is over one inch in size, allowing users to take clear and beautiful photos even in dark locations. The wide-angle camera can take 122° ultra-wide-angle and macro photos, and the telephoto camera supports 2.8x optical zoom. Digital zoom to 20x is realized, enabling users to capture distant subjects clearly.

              Please drop the worthless discussion around storage and cloud or whatever, it is what it is, no SD card just live with it!

                Cpt.Power, 08 Nov 2024Bro so many work you did with that i appreciate it and i am... moreDo you realize that people work under you.
                Well, whatever. You have 9.6gb/s internet. Might as well get a top notch 6g connection.
                But why do you think best is the fastest. Price, availability, durability, support, popularity etc also matter. If you are looking for speed you should find the fastest.
                https://www.sdcard.org/press/thoughtleadership/sd-association-delivers-gigabyte-speed-leap-with-new-sd-express-8-0/
                In this link you can see it's possible to make 4GB/s sd cards. But companies don't want people to have it. Of course with pcie Gen 5,6,7.....the speed can be increased farther. But even finding gen3 x1 link is hard.
                https://news.samsung.com/global/samsungs-new-microsd-cards-bring-high-performance-and-capacity-for-the-new-era-in-mobile-computing-and-on-device-ai
                https://www.adata.com/us/consumer/category/memory-cards/memory-cards-Premier-Extreme-SDXC-SD7-Express/
                https://www.amazon.com/SDExpress-Express-Backwards-Compatible-Included/dp/B09PWRRZXC
                You see companies never tired to move sd technology forward. But you can still get 800MB/s.
                Even the slow card's you shared wouldn't cost more than one year of cloud. Commoners can actually us free cloud after 1 years has passed. And they won't need to pay for the internet to see things that they created on their phone.
                You see cfexpress is not as popular as sd cards. They also use pcie technology. But are moving forward.
                https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1551687-REG/sandisk_sdcfe_128g_ancnn_128gb_extreme_pro_cfexpress.html
                https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-Professional-Photographers-Videographers-LCXEXS4001T-RNENG/dp/B0DGK8XSXK
                And now they are slowly gaining popularity.
                https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/tips-and-solutions/cfexpress-the-next-serious-media-format
                Just see the title. This is what gemini ai said, "CFexpress cards are becoming more popular than SD cards for professional cameras and other high-end cameras. CFexpress cards are faster than SD cards, with read and write speeds that are up to three times faster. This is due to the NVMe protocol that CFexpress cards use, which is similar to advanced SSDs in computers. CFexpress slots are becoming standard in new cameras. However, SD cards are still the preferred choice for some lower-end, prosumer, and consumer-level cameras. SD Express is a new SD card that has improved the capabilities of the SD card. SD Express may be a better choice for applications that require a smaller mechanical footprint."
                This is also what gemini said," SD8.0 is a specification for SD Express memory cards that offers faster transfer speeds and support for multiple PCIe interfaces. SD8.0 offers transfer speeds of up to 4 GB/s, which is comparable to the performance of M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs. SD8.0 supports three additional PCIe interfaces: PCIe Gen 4 x1, PCIe G3 x2, and PCIe Gen4 x2. "
                You see in one question gemini acts as if SD8.0 and SD express don't exist. On the other it says yes.
                But the conclusion is that companies are killing sd and moving towards cfexpress and manipulating the market and consumers. Yeah rich people can always get something customized science it's possible but there is nothing for commoners.
                And you instead of saying "why companies don't make faster sd?" saying "cloud is faster." also not everyone needs speed like you. Yet it feels like you don't care and are trying to increase cloud sales.
                If you care so much about speed then why don't you say, "Eh! Why is it still usb 3?usb 5 is coming." That way you will be able to put an m.2 in your phone which is smaller than 2.5 inch ssd and is faster than 5g, has less latency than 6g and will power clouds in the future.
                Because those cloud's using NVMe are mostly using gen3 while Gen 4 and 5 are available unlike the artificial death of sd express.
                Yeah the link you shared also tells about 800MB/s. But it was not the highlight of the page. Every company is related to every company. If they want they can create a market for sd express by creating demand. Or they can bring cfexpress to smart phones. But they won't. Because that might hurt cloud businesses.
                Artificial meat is more expensive than real meat. It was even more expensive the past. But still companies are trying to make it available by trying to make it cheap, advertising, creating consumer base by taking some loose.
                MKBHD recently made a video about a meta prototype AR glass. And you you know what according to meta it will cost 25k$ in the current market. So they are not marketing it. Instead trying to reduce price, increase quality to justify a profitable price and so on.
                Google gives 2TB 1year cloud free for there phones. But after 1 year you might be trapped. Many people say they are sticking with old pixels for unlimited photo backup. But Google is not gonna revive this service. It was to create market. And now many people are using new pixels. Because they like it or they are changing phone every year. Free 2TB cloud. But who knows when pixels will stop this offer too. But by then there will be more loyal customers.
                There are many more examples.
                It proves that companies can do if they try. And they they try what they like. They don't sell what people want. They make people want to buy their products. If they want they can kill 6g and revive sd. But the difference is that you cannot use 6g if companies don't want you to. But you can us sd with older devices.

                  403 Forbidden, 05 Nov 2024Nothing's weird. Its just capitalism wins all over aga... moreThey are both useless features.
                  SD Card; Pictures? How are you going to easily share folders of those pictures? That's why people use cloud storage. Music? There are a plethora of streaming apps out there, if you can't afford such a cheap subscription maybe you shouldn't be splurging on a phone? Games? Unless you're playing Genshin on this, most games don't take up that much space.

                  Headphone Jack; Just buy wireless headphones. Don't want to? USBC DAC EZPZ. Don't give me that BS "audiophile" argument. 1) you wouldn't be using a phone to listen to music if you were an "audiophile". 2) USBC DACs sound better than EVERY phone currently released.
                  The ONLY good argument for wanting a headphone jack on your phone is if you have an older car and only have an AUX cable. But again, that is a very niche market to justify extra cost/space/programing.

                    Like i said small company usually our stores are 4x4 metres or up to 6x6 small enough for one person per store.
                    About my home internet i was right with 1200 megabytes per second download speeds.
                    And like i said no SD card no matter the brand is faster.
                    https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/best-microsd-card-130038282.html

                    So yes wireless options are better they are ow maybe they will not always be. No idea what future will come with but lets see.
                    Yes servers are definitely slower but they getting better from what they was before.
                    And for a future i cant say i dont see that far.
                    Anyway thans for explaining and be well friend.

                      Doraemon Paimon, 08 Nov 2024I also stated that in my first comment that 6g is capable o... moreCorrection
                      But if you need speed I suggest you to use 128 gb/s m.2 instead of waiting for 125 gb/s 6g (as you suggested some people to use 2.5 inch storage. M.2 is even smaller than 2.5 inch ssd/hdd.) What's holding you from using m.2's?It's not that big, is it?
                      6g is 125GB/s not 125gb/s. But still why wait for 6g while using 10gb/s 5g when you have 128gb/s m.2

                        Cpt.Power, 06 Nov 2024Okay i agree yes you are right its a sim card with memory c... moreI also stated that in my first comment that 6g is capable of 1000gb/s which means 125GB/s
                        And why are you using apple math. If you can't search just go back to the first reply and read it again.
                        How come 1.2GB/s is faster then 8GB/s?
                        And 1.25GB/s is the theoretical maximum of 5g. Meaning you are either someone who has a high position in the society, possibly benefits from big companies
                        Or you actually have 1.2gb/s. In that case how come 1.2gb/s is faster than 64gb/s. Are you using apple math? And do you think 6g will be faster than pcie Gen 7. And there is UCIe. Although UCIe is not used for storage directly they will be.
                        And you didn't answer what powers 5g and 6g to achieve that high speed. Cloud's are actually servers storing data locally. It might not be local to you but it is stored in a location. M.2 and U.2 use x4 link. And NVMe sd cards use x2 link. Meaning cloud's can provide faster speed without using raid0. But that's not beneficial to companies. As I said most servers use sata or scsi. And among them most use HDD instead of SSD.
                        Sure companies are moving towards faster speed. But by then there would be even faster storage solutions. If speed is your consern you should consider sd or m.2 x4. Both of which are not available for mobile devices.
                        You are like a paradox. Instead of urging the companies to give faster storage storage solutions to people you are telling people to expensive slow cloud. PCIe 5 is available and faster than 5g. But 6g is not available. This phone doesn't even specify wether it's ufs 3 or 4. But I don't see you saying Iphone is faster (Iphone's use NVMe. But they also don't specify which Gen. Probably 3 or 4.)
                        You need to pay for the internet and storage saperetly. And commoner don't want it. There are already so many subscriptions (movies =Netflix, pluto, hulo, Disney, applet etc, music, food delivery, transport etc sectors all have subscription system. And more sectors are entering subscription system. And there is even tier system.) you are just sitting high up there taking a cut from other people's income and paying for 10gb/s. You can't understand commoners.
                        And what are you going to do with that much speed. You can't download 20 movies without paying a subscription nowadays. Today you can play games on both SD cards and cloud. You can watch 8k movies on both. But if you need speed I suggest you to use 128 gb/s m.2 instead of waiting for 125 gb/s 6g (as you suggested some people to use 2.5 inch storage. M.2 is even smaller than 2.5 inch ssd/hdd.) What's holding you from using m.2's?It's not that big, is it?
                        It's the same thing you asked others. Now you see the problem. It's comfortable if it's inside the phone. Not mention phone's don't have USB/thunderbolt 4(40gb/s) let alone USB 5(80gb/s) or thunderbolt 5(120gb/s). And you are fine with it. One day you might even say that there is no need for USB on phones because they are slow.
                        It great that EU mad it mandatory for phones to have USB. Didn't I told you to do some search. You can also read books. Whichever you prefer.
                        If you are good at using internet I would suggest entering Chinese websites. The Chinese phone in your country that has 50mp will probably show as 5000mp. Well, most companies have fixed it. So you may not find it.
                        Forget that. You might be one of those big companies. Otherwise why would you be using apple math. Also you don't want to read, probably because you want to hide them.
                        Good luck in downloading movies by paying subscription to 2 parties and then uploading them to the cloud by paying subscription to 2 parties. Europe is famous for war. I wander what you do when war comes you. I not talking about about Russia. But if any war happens near it will surely affect your life to some degree.
                        As of January 2024, 79.2% of Ukraine's population had internet access. However, a survey in February 2023 found that 60% of Ukrainians in the country reported network access unavailability.
                        You can't even see pictures and videos you took on your phone.
                        And climate change is also happening. 12000 yes ago a flood flooded almost everything. Yeah if something like that happens (escapeing from all the countermeasure we take. Because definitely it won't happen if it can't escape the countermeasure) then there is no hope. But what about those who survive or for some reason internet is not available in your area only. Anything is possible. Who thought there is going to be a war in Ukraine? Not before Russia started gathering troops near Ukraine. Yeah rich people like you have ways to know but commoners don't have. And what if they know. Commoners can't avoid misfortune. It's already misfortune enough that they are commoner.
                        And data leaking is normal nowadays. And that's possible only in wearless way.
                        1.2GB/s, that's theoretical maximum. Check again. It might be up to 1.2gb/s. We'll some thing's are reserved for the rich. Use some common sense. You might be rich without knowing. Or you might be trying to confuse us.

                              - Imagine how complicated to bring something like that on your pocket instead of putting some damn small card on your phone that won't make you harder to grip it.

                                    YUKI93, 06 Nov 2024In my view, you "vote with your wallet" based on ... morePeople have budget. And even if we create demand sony is not going to mass produce. They don't even care about sales. Most countries get them through 3rd party/middleman companies.
                                    Most Middle income people want a flagship phone with cheap storage, headphones and charger. It's good if charger and headphones are included. But most phone's no longer have a headphone in box. And Sony doesn't even has a charger in the box. And it's not like Sony is giving good hardware although that don't have good software. The terrible packageing can be accepted since you are not going to use the packet. But these factors combined with price makes it a no choice for middle income person. And most consumers on earth are Middle income person.
                                    But rumors about upcoming sony phones are looking promising. But other companies are not relaxing.
                                    I also like sony phones. It's not like there phones don't sell. We just need to save a little more money before we buy our next phone's. But most are not willing to. Which is good. Otherwise I don't know how much sony or 3rd parties will change.
                                    But there is still hope. In the past few years it was only Samsung and Asus making small phone's after apple left. Then asus also left. Although 6.3 is not 5.9 or 6.1 we are seeing a backward trend. In fact vivo x200 pro mini is better than x200 spec wise. Because it is pro so they they made it better than the non pro. Google also made pro and pro XL. Although weirdly even after having the same processor the pro scores low compared to XL by a big gap(yeah other phones with same processors also show the the same trend. But the gap is not that big in their case. Take for example xiaomi). Also EU is making various laws that that benefit consumers. If these trends continue we may as well see sd and 3.5mm and included headphones in standard flagships in the future. But nothing is sure for now.
                                    And lastly only rich can vote with there wallet. Poors only vote when things get too expensive and they can't afford anymore. The industry crashes. Then some rich come saying the economy is not going good, some control there greed. But before the crash poor buy whatever options they have. We only buy what riches let us buy.
                                    Did any company increase customer by ditching 3.5mm and SD? No, they just profited more from the same customer.

The problem is that most people are too stuck on a brand and too afraid to try out another brand they aren't familiar with. If they can embrace competition instead of brand loyalty, they have a lot of choices to choose from. I have a friend who used to be a long-time Samsung user who recently went on to try out Sony because he values microSD card slots so much, and he's now happy going with Sony.
