It is really a shame! I was soooo much looking forward a brand new generation of my Galaxy Note 20, hoping for even more memory, but instead I have to stick with my current one .... forever. I got 512 GB internal storage plus 1 TB external memory and that is nearly full. And considering loads of films come in 4K it is such a rediciulous decision to cancel any external memory in the current and future generations. This is a massive step back in technology. Actually I also use my phone and tablet(s) to film concerts of a befriended composer and those recordings are like 1-2 hours long. HD is not an option anymore as 4K is the new standard. So unless Samsung decides to include slots for external memory again I have to say good-bye to any new model in the forseeable future.
I agree with you. This is just a business centric decision. It's not new from big brands like samsung. They switched to In screen fingerprint sensor, they removed 3.5 mm jack, they removed IR blaster. I have felt it everytime that instead of going forward, they are going backward. However prices of flagships phone have always gone higher. Its 3 times more than it used to be 5 years back. What did we get, just fast processor, camera and a few features? They have made us slaves. You talk about android, Samsung who is selling the phones or snapdragon who is manufacturing the processors. These companies are working as a team to generate leads for more businesses dor each other. 3.5 mm jack was one of the largest step back according to me, that was done just to make room for these bluetooth earbuds. Every company who launched their tws earbuds, removed 3.5 mm jack.
