Marion,
The sad fact is a phone without the sd slot requires more
internal storage. A *lot* more.
Nope. A total absense of any logic. And I thought that that was your stong
point ...
I understand completely that you said the Pixel doesn't even
come with 64GB of storage,
Google Pixel 3a, 64GB
than one that contains the perfectly acceptable 64GB internal
storage.
Even you didn't think that it was acceptable, as you extended it with a 64GB
sd card - and now with 512GB.
Oh, you ment something else ? Why didn't say what you ment than ?
And you double, triple or quadruple that storage for maps &
media over time, as needed, at today's (much much much much
much) cheaper prices.
Apart from the problem that the phone companies which actually enable you to
connect your phone to any of the other gazillion ones have decided to drop
2G (in favour of 5G*), causing older models to become obsolete (in the true
meaning of that word), forcing you to buy a new phone while the current one
still functions perfectly.
Have you ever considered that the phone makers and phone companies are
working together on that to scam you outof even more money ? Yeah, I think
that the collusion goes much further than you think ...
* Did you know that 5G has a way less reach than 2G, meaning its now, with
way more 5G towers, much easier to triangulate where you are ? And that
your location data as a result has become worth more to buyers ? Thats the
second reason why they switched. I'm *sure* of it.
This is, after all, part of the brilliance of having basic
industry-standard hardware functionality that marketing hates
you having.
Buy a "freedom phone" (or similar) to get yourself outof the claws of
Samsung, the maker of your current phone. I'm *sure* that they are
listening in to all you are saying and browsing thru everything you have on
your phone. I hope you didn't take any naughty pictures of yourself,
otherwise they will have seen those too.
Do I have any proof for that ? Its obvious. If you have to ask than you
are simply not as smart as I am.
Also, ditch Googles Android. Kill it with fire. Including their Walled
garden apps. *All* of them are filled to the brim with software used to
deliver ads and track you. *Everyone* knows that.
