I feel like phones provide enough disc space nowadays. I was never a huge fan of microSD slots to begin with. They're slower than internal storage and I've had one fail before and everything on it was lost. I had to factory reset the phone to get the slot working again. There might have been a better solution but I couldn't figure one out.

I have enough media to fill my phone about 4x over. I'd be lost without the expansion.

And no... "buh, buh, cloud storage!" is useless if you're not connected.

Everyone has different needs. I just don't have any need for a microSD slot anymore and you seem to.
