I haven’t owned a phone with removable storage since the Samsung Galaxy S5 back in 2015. (I miss that phone) Since then I’ve gone from iPhone, to Pixel, to Pixel, to iPhone, to iPhone. None of which had/have removable storage. Personally I don’t require much storage. The largest consumer of storage on my current phone is “Messages” at like 10G. I’m pretty sure the Photos app offloads photos to iCloud regularly so It says only 1G of storage.

I miss it all the time. I wish Pixels would get off their internal storage racket, or at least give you extremely large options.

I wish my phone had expandable storage. It's unfortunate that to get a high-end Samsung phone I have to sacrifice that :/

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Why would I remove it? It's encrypted and only readable in the phone itself, the only reason to remove it is to upgrade or moving to a new phone where it'll be wiped and start from scratch.

When I buy a new phone, I take the storage out of the old one and put it in the new one

Keep in mind sdcards have short lifespans. If it's been a considerable amount of time it could be close to failure.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

Same. My sdcard has photos and music on it.

[–] RickAstleyfounddead@lemy.lol 1 points 8 hours ago

So I'm not the only one

Do phones still have expandable storage?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago

Good ones do.

When I had to extract crash footage from a dashcam.

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 13 hours ago

A month or so ago; I had a 32G card, and bought a 128G card.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Myself no. I don't keep enough on my phone to warrant using the card.

My wife and her sister does though.

When the SD died.
