My big issue with the line has been no microSD slot. I won't buy a phone with locked memory capacity.
Same!
I also demand justice for the headphone jack!
I'm holding onto my 4a5g because I really really don't want to give up my headphone jack
Reposting their "Circle" ad for the Pixel 5a 5G because it was just brilliant:
Too bad Google also later pulled the plug and abandoned the audio jack starting from the Pixel 6 series.
Can't see the image :'(
Oh that might be your Lemmy app then. It's a compressed mp4 that I had uploaded to a Pixelfed instance, here's the original Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJZuSVl5wjM

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
No love for removable batteries?
That too.
But it definetly comes after the MicroSD and the headphone jack.
I feel like phones provide enough disc space nowadays. I was never a huge fan of microSD slots to begin with. They're slower than internal storage and I've had one fail before and everything on it was lost. I had to factory reset the phone to get the slot working again. There might have been a better solution but I couldn't figure one out.
I have enough media to fill my phone about 4x over. I'd be lost without the expansion.
And no... "buh, buh, cloud storage!" is useless if you're not connected.
Everyone has different needs. I just don't have any need for a microSD slot anymore and you seem to.
Do you record a lot of videos?
No, I have a bunch of media.
