Probably because its 2023 and shitty unreliable memory is only wanted by the 1% and people with incredible niche use cases.
Never had problem with any microsd card and I've been running them in smartphones since 2010. It's not hard to buy a decent card.
Shrug I guess I just "actually use my phone for stuff".
Not wanting to suck Spotifys dick shouldn't be a niche use case.
Absolutely, we use MicroSD all the time for our Raspberry Pis, It's fast compact and cheap.
These phones only have USB2, so for fast transfer, you have to use something cloud based. A MicroSD would have been nice.
I self host my music, not sucking anything. I can stream the rest privately with multiple methods.
That said, when I do want access to a Spotify playlist, thats what Spotube and a bullshit acct are for.
When I worked in phone sales, one of the biggest bitches that walked through the door was people with dead SD cards blaming us for losing all their data and the conspiracy theories that it was intentional. You're lucky.
Streaming uses more battery and you can't do it in the backwoods.
I have absolutely no clue how that could work? Didn't they install the SD cards themselves?
Damn right they did! Don't try to apply common sense to it, because the customers never do. Its always somebody elses fault.
In a lot of cases it was buying shitty ones, because their absolutely not all created equal, but after a while, you should move to new ones, nobody ever did. Then you had the first couple Galaxy's that just murdered them all regardless. Being a privacy guy, I'm not pro cloud (but) going to real hardware memory and cloud backups is the only good move for the masses.
OK, I guess that kind of customers exist. I've personally been selling computers back from the mid 80's to the mid 90's, I've never had that kind of customer. Not even once. Kind of strange, considering how bad I hear things can be.
Considering the USB is only 2.0 it might have been handy in some cases.
