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!

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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:

"Circle" video ad

Too bad Google also later pulled the plug and abandoned the audio jack starting from the Pixel 6 series.

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 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.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Everyone has different needs. I just don't have any need for a microSD slot anymore and you seem to.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you record a lot of videos?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No, I have a bunch of media.
