I would like an automatic back-up of files included. That way they would not have to include a 64GB module, but users would get access to most of the 32GB drive.īut as it now comes with a microSD-card reader, it will not be an issue for most. What about using two drives, one for the OS (with room for future updates) and one for user storage. Sure, at the price of the S7 devices, you could perhaps expect more storage. Google should have come up with a better solution.Ī way to make some folders readable by other devices (photos, videos, documents, and other folders user might want to back up). If samsung and lg left the option in, but it required some special command, that command would be posted in newpapers and there would be no way to make sure the users would understand what they were doing. If the device breaks, all your data will be lost. You wont be able to transfer files by moving the microSD card, not to computers and not to other phones. You have to understand that it will effect the performance, since microSD card read/writes speeds are lower than the reed/write speeds of internal storage, even if you buy the fastest card on the market (the reader in the phone would be slower than that microSD card). Some makes kept the movin app feature, but not a lot of apps kept the support, because of Google.Įnabling adoptable storage requires a deeper understanding, that most buyers wont have. So an app on the microSD card with adoptable storage would be in percentage losing more performance than it used to, when we could simply move apps. Sure adoptable storage is probably a bit quicker than the old option.īut in modern phones, the internal memory is still in percentage much faster than internal memory used to be over microSD card speeds, back when we could move apps. You could still back up your images and videos, if the phone died, microSD cards usually does better even in water than phones, so even if the device was water damages, there was still a chance.Īnd since you chose what apps you wanted to move to the microSD-card, you could make sure not to move your most important apps, in case of a memorycard fail, and you could make sure to only move apps that did not need the best performance. The way it used to be, you could still transfer files from your microSD card by inserting it in other devices. Then some years later, they introduce this. Google removed the support for installing apps on microSD card. They do a lot of bad choices when it comes to android.
