  And the same for the headphone jack. Getting rid of it just so they can force you to buy planned e-waste fast is less convenient and more expensive should be a crime.

      Thinner* since there are people actually wanting smaller phones (and I have a jack on my zenphone 10 so size isn’t an issue), they’ve been blaming thinness and water resistance for the drop of the jack

        Both of which have proven to be lies by the likes of the Sony Xperia phones which still do nearly everything right. I say nearly because they’re plagued with bad fingerprint sensors which is the only reason I had to stop using my 1 III.

  Oh yea. One of the reasons why I went for a Samsung A-Series instead of the S-Series is the microSD card slot. Yes, that slot is just soooo goood.

  I can get an A series phone for like $400 with IP67 Water Resistance, and buy a $130 1TB MicroSD card and Voila, a 1TB phone. The cheapest Galaxy S-Series phone with 1TB storage is a $1500 Galaxy Ultra.

  Like bruh, I don’t want to pay $1000 more if all I want to do is watch youtube videos with it.

  I can have an offline wikipedia, like 10 TV shows, a few movies, the top 100 of my favorite Youtube Videos, thousands of books (that I’ll probably never read), cat photos, more cat photos, cat videos, and even more cat videos… etc…

  I have a mini computer in my pocket.

  Sadly no replaceable battery tho 🤷‍♂️

    Samsung A-Series

    Okey so I googled it. “Low range android phones blabla…”. Checked the price. Oh yeah wtf it’s 400€ lol. That’s more than I ever paid for a phone, even including the current one, Honor 10 which I got before covid

      I mean… $400 is what I was willing to spend. You could go lower.

      But I used sub-$100 android phones and… they aren’t great. (very laggy)

        Yup totally agreed, I tied one for 150,and it was barely usable, I decided I can’t force myself to use that

  Maybe on an iPhone

    Cost of storage on Samsung Galaxy phones are not exactly cheap either

      Wdym? Apple is notoriously shit for this exact thing. They probably still sell 32gb phones for $800 and call it a budget phone. While a 128gb version would be $1200

        Apple no longer have 32GB phones.

        The minimum is now at 128GB for Apple’s cheapest phone. Its been the minimum since the iPhone 11

        I understand your contempt for Apple, and I hate Apple too, but lets stick with the facts.

        Apple’s latest phone:

        Samsung’s latest phone:

        About the same…
