TechFrag - These days, smartphone manufacturers have begun trending the inability to add micro SD cards. The focus is more towards providing a variant model with additional storage space. So why exactly are manufacturers opting for the latter?

Kingston has announced the refresh of its ‘Canvas’ series Flash cards to Canvas Plus. The new SD and microSD lineup include Kingston’s first UHS-II cards.
but when the phone os packs up and the only fix is a factory restore, with an sd card i have nothing to worry about but without one, i have to find the impossible task of repairing the phone without losing my data.
Fckn bad idea to remove sd card slots ya bunch of Bleathering bloatware fillin overpriced storage model sellin theivin gomeril apple suckin scumbags!
So their reasoning is a user could by a cheap nock off. Isn't that the same thing with phones and apps? We could abandon them aswell.
The real reason is economics. It is hard to sell a 64GB version of a phone when you go for a 16GB and put a 64GB+ storage in it. At least be honest about it
never once have I had a legit need for one of these slots and ive worked in IT and hardware integration for 10+ years.
It's just a silly way to make abnormal profits. Since it worked for Samsung, expect other mobile vendors to follow suit.
If users had boycotted Samsung latest flagship because of this unthinkable act! They would have put their house in order. But you know, anything that has the Samsung label on it sells like hot cakes! Thanks to their marketing department. They surely deserve any amount of money they are being paid..
