      Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.

        Moto 5g stylus has both. I just bought my daughter one for Christmas. The downside is using a moto phone which have gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6. But my daughter is 10 and just wants a phone with a stylus for drawing stuff and it was only $99 with my fi plan so why not?

          Nexus 6 was released October 2014. That same month, Moto Mobility was sold to Lenovo. So its not just “in your opinion” that was the start of the reduction in quality of the Moto brand.

              I still prefer them for work phones. Gestures to open the camera or turn on the flashlight are a lifesaver for me.

                I def miss the twist for flashlight. I have a pixel now which I hate but it has a feature to tap the back twice. I use it for my flashlight but it doesn’t compare

        I mean, the workarounds for SD cards is just USB-C drives, or USB-C microSD card readers. But I agree, just as headphone dongles are dumb and don’t suit all needs, so is external storage.

          Micro sd card readers =/= a micro sd card that you can put inside the phone. A micro sd card permanently attached to the phone via a USB-C card reader isn’t really that practical, since it can easily get loose and you can drop it. I mean I can walk around and record videos directly into the sd card if the phone has the sd card slot.

          A phone can get destroyed and I still have the video. Very useful for situations like… god forbid, if you ever get in a situation of being a witness to an act of police brutality and you are recording them for evidence, and they smash your phone after you recorded a video of them. And you then run away with the broken phone. As long as the micro sd card isn’t damaged, the video is safe. Its much harder to recover a video from a broken phone’s internal storage. And by the time you do recover it, you might not be able to send it to the press before cops show up at your door to confiscate it. In contrast, an sd card can just quickily put it in a computer then you email it to journalists.

          I know, this is an extreme scenario, but like its just illustrates that a sd card plugged in to an USB C card reader isnt the same, it can come loose easily.

            I’m surprised you even thought this needed to be said. Of course external solutions aren’t the same as internal. I never said they were. I simply said that just like dongles are the workaround to no internal headphone jack, they are for storage as well. The compromise is obvious and internal would always be better.

      Why? The quality was always shit. I’d rather keep the data port (Lightning/USB-C) and use an external DAC. For calls and meetings where audio quality is trash anyway, Bluetooth doesn’t necessarily degrade it enough to care.
