It's now about whether you use the capability that exists, Carlos.

Correction: This pretty much sums up this thread for good...
 
 Any phone without the sd slot is less capable than a phone with it,

 All other things being equal, a phone without the sd card slot can't
 do what the phone with the sd card slot can do.

But what is *not* a fact, is that everbody *needs* this additional
functionality - even if you try to convince people that they should feel
sad when their phone does not support SD cards.

  True, but in addition, Marion's 'facts' are false, because they are
derived from a false/impossible premise: "all other things being equal"
is *impossible*. "all other things" *never are* and *cannot be* "equal",
there always are one or more - and probably many - differences.

  Reasoning 101, Logic 101 and a slew of others.

  BTW, Marion should have a look at his beloved Samsung Galaxy A-Series.

  Only the A16 and A26 still have a SD-card slot (shared as second SIM
or SD-card). The A36 and A56 do not have a SD-card slot.

  Also some (A56, others?) no longer have his beloved 3.5mm audio jack.

  And to add insult to injury, they no longer come with a charger (but
with a cable (A56 has USB-C to USB-C cable).
