    We need SD cards more. They removed them so they can charge you 300 $ to upgrade 128gb and to force you into shitty cloud service.

    Again, just anti consumer bullshit spearheaded by Apple and gargled by Samsung.

      I have flashbacks to using external storage on Android. It was such a shit show of an API. That being said, external storage, to break away from cloud storage is the next needed thing. We need to own the data.

        When you design an OS to pretend there’s no such thing as a file, it ends up being bad at handling files.

          Yeah, even today, browsing through files on Android is a fucking mess. And there isn’t an SD card.

          So the SD card wasn’t the problem

            I was trying to figure out recently how do I copy files into application user data directory, it turns out you just can’t, lol.

              You can with very basic root tools, but really that just solidifies your point. It’s an easy thing to do, but they’ve intentionally taken away the ability for no good reason

      Samsung was actually one of the later Android manufacturers to drop it is my recollection.
