Negative. It was all bullshit to upscale with phones. Remove an sd slot that takes up virtually no space and then charge an extra $300 for a phone with more space when the storage chip in the phone costs $20. Same for the headphone jack. Now people are buying branded earbuds every few years for hundreds of dollars. phone storage sizes haven’t increased for the past like 8 years because they want you forced into paying for cloud storage.
I have a phone right now from China with a headphone jack, cooling fan, and 1 tb storage, and it was less than a thousand bucks. It’s waterproof and plenty slim with a 7500mah battery.
All the shitty things about Samsung and apple… all the things they removed were all so they could turn around and sell you more. It has nothing to do with size constraints or waterproofing.
worst part about the SD card thing is just how incredibly useful it is, with other features i can understand that most people don’t think they’re worth the tradeoffs, but having a single fucking SD card slot not only immediately lets you have A TERABYTE of storage if you so wish but also lets you fill the card with photos or whatever and then switch to another one!!!
like if SD cards could only give you 32 gigs extra storage i could understand not bothering with them, but you can fucking quintuple your god damn storage with them, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Two huge reasons. They want to charge you an extra $400 for phone storage that costs them $30 in hardware, Then also, if you have all the storage you need on your phone, you won’t feel like you have to pay for all that cloud storage every single month, essentially forever.
Nubia Red Magic 11pro.
Android
$1000. 1TB hard drive, 7500mah battery, 24GB of the fastest ram in any phone, best processor\apu of any android, built in cooling fan, and (mainly a gimmick, but looks cool) liquid cooling for the battery, invisible front camera, ir blaster to control TVs, headphone jack, and two touch buttons on top for gaming.
Phone is really awesome.
Bad parts are a locked bootloader, only 2 or 3 years of updates, and the only carrier that it works well with is t mobile, due to missing frequency bands other carriers use, and the cameras aren’t as good as any flagship phones from the last several years.

Exactly, it was a lie to begin with.
We need to hold companies and people accountable.
