I don't think I've used a microsd in a phone for about 6+ years now, so I couldn't really care less. Not a photographer and I don't travel enough to need so much offline media on the go. Just a few albums for the commute.
Still using an old Galaxy S10 and appreciating the 3.5mm jack though.
Same, but even longer. I honestly can't remember the last time I used additional storage in a phone. My current phone has 512GB (was cheaper than the 256GB model due to a promotion) and after almost two years of usage I still only have about 77GB in use. I don't think I know anyone with a microSD card in their phone, which is probably why they're removing them, not enough people care anymore.
Only 128 here and I'm not even using half of that. Every now and again I'll transfer what I want to keep to other storage and purge the rest.
Primary use is this, chat, music player and remote control for the house smarts. Occasionally it's a phone too :)
The S10 is end of life, so the hardware probably doesn't get firmware updates anymore from Samsung. Even with an up to date OS, the firmware is probably vulnerable at this point.
Aftermarket OS options are getting better as time goes by, which is nice. Come a long way since the old Cyanogenmod days.
But yeah, Sammy won't be keeping the bones patched beyond what they already have. The risk for me is acceptable, and preferable to shelling out for new hardware every few years. It works and I'm not too stupid with it.
