Internal storage on phones is over 200gb by now. I havent needed an SD for years. What the fuck do you store on your phone that could still need an SD? lmao
I have a young son and it was getting very irritating having to be selective recording my videos of him. I finally just paid $90 and added a 1TB premium sd card, and now I won't have to worry about it at all & download all the videos I want for us.
Upgrading the internal storage to 1TB on a new phone costs several hundred dollars.
Because I like to store stuff on my phone
4k video files will fill your phone up mighty quick. especially if you use it for youtube videos or similar. or film your family/pets a lot
I am 12 and this is deep, what a moronic take
Record 1 minute video, how big is that file? 200 MB, 0.2 GB. 5 minutes and 1 GB is full. When something interesting happens, 5 minutes are recorded easy, obviously. 200 GB, nothing for apps, maps, downloads,... are enough to record 15 hours of video. Then that is it. How many moments can I capture with that? Enough for maybe 2 years? I don't throw my memories away when I get a new phone. Instead, I just buy a new SD every few years and compress the video files every once in a while.
