They hype 4k/8k recording capabilities but the average buyer is unlikely to realise exactly how fast this eats storage.
I had to buy a new phone when my last one broke. Needed S Pen & external SD so I opted for a used Note 20 Ultra in conjunction with the same SD card ive used since I first bought a smart phone.
I self host my own Nextcloud but cloud isnt the answer. Even in this day & age in a big city or driving, streaming is not available all the time. I insist that everything important is available offline: maps, notes, all media be it music, podcasts, audio books …even movies/TV shows seeing as these phones can easily be connected to a TV for use with Kodi or similar. Another thing is recording footage of holidays etc for editing. It all takes up space.
I’m of the opinion the external SD was only removed for profiteering reasons.
People allow their TV to connect to the interpipes? Tut tut, I thought y’all were better than that!
