I don't mind not having a removable battery, and a headphone jack is nice but not make or break... but so few phones apparently have expandable storage these days.
This brothers me so much. It's such an obvious cash grab - manufacturers can force you to buy a more expensive model of the same phone, cloud services can tap your wallet for additional space, and carriers can tap your wallet for a larger data plan.
It's gross. There's literally no consumer-friendly reason to strip it.
I've nearly 40 gigabytes of FLACs as well as commissioned art (much smaller in size than my music collection) stored on a 256 gigglebyte card in my phone. While the 128 gigs built into my phone is more than enough, when it's time to get a new phone all I gotta do is slap it into the new phone and boom, gucci. That convenience, on top of only needing to remove the card to add stuff to it, is why an SD card slot is non negotiable for me.
In fairness I'm not too picky outside of an SD card slot and 3.5mm jack. I ain't a power user, so as long as I can chat with my buddies, reply to emails, enjoy my media, and it does all that just fast enough, I'll take anything with an SD card slot and headphone jack. I'm not the average user lol
