Also using the A53. It’s certainly not the snappiest phone, but damn it, it holds my entire music library and all the movies I could want. Slapped a 512gb microsd card into this bad boy.
Storage for what though? That’s why I asked. My device storage is 256 and I’ve only used 100, that’s with 700 songs downloaded. I’m curious what you need a ton of storage for.
I’ve about 2,000 and counting FLAC files on my micro SD card for high quality audio. Many from my CD collection, and a nice amount obtained through other means. I’m already at 90 gigs used in my 256 gig card.
I’ll be getting a new phone at the end of the year, and to transfer all that music (plus my commissioned art collection) all I’d have to do it just pop the card into the new phone.
No wrestling with cloud storage subscriptions or having to worry about my digital stuff being in somebody else’s hands. Just keep it on a tiny card smaller than my fingernail and back it up periodically to my desktop and my laptop. Best part is that I don’t even need any adapters to use headphones, as Motorola phones still have headphone jacks.
There’s people with downloaded movies and shows they like having local access to without any streaming woes, folks who take tons of photos and videos, etc. Having an SD card slot is one of the requirements I need for me to want to use a phone.
I still won’t buy a phone without a microSD slot.
GET OFF MY LAWN!
What phones even still do? Sonys? Low end Samsungs? Fairphone?
Moto G Pure from 2021 doesn’t have much but it’s got an SD card slot and a headphone jack.
My Xperia 1 V has one, but it shares the same space with the 2nd sim card slot, which I use.
Right now running a Samsung Galaxy A53.

There are 2TB cards now. O_O
Why
Because they want more storage? I honestly don’t understand even asking the question lol

“If I dont have a problem that means NOBODY will EVER have that problem”
More like asking for insight to understand.
Why are you so angry?
Are you dumb? If you don’t want that many storage space doesn’t mean others don’t want it?
28 net downvotes so far for asking “why”. I think Lemmy is becoming more toxic than Reddit was.
Because the march of time terrifies them.
