In 2008? CD-R, they're cheap and you aren't going to change the songs on the disc rather than just burn a new disc entirely.
In 2024? micro SDXC card in my phone.
Do any phones even have that anymore?
Pretty sure it's easier to find a phone with a mini SD slot than a phone with a CD player.
But it's easier to find a phone with a CD player than a phone with cassette player.
Can't argue with that!
me with my wax-cylinder phone 👀
But it's way easier to find a phone with a micro SD slot than either of those. Mini SD was a thing and it was very short lived.
I forgot what it was called and rolled the dice on mini. I should've known whichever one I picked would probably be wrong 🙃
It’s called Peterson’s Law: the fastest way to get the correct information on the internet is to post the wrong information.
I don't think I've ever owned a smartphone without one.
Sony phones have SD slots and… gasp a 3.5 mm headphone jack
Okay so my next phone’s a Sony. Theirs are high-end phones right?
Xperias are definitely flagships in almost every spec except optimizing thermals compared to the competition (which is why they don’t perform as good relatively despite the exact same chip), & not with an affordable Chinese sticker price. The 10 series is even lightweight & can count in the ‘small phone’ category. They are only committed to 2 years of updates, but devices generally seem to get mainiline LineageOS support just by the end of those two years if you are comfortable with custom ROMs. I would assume that price as well as the 2-year updates is a big factor in why the community is more likely to mod devices much later in their lifecycle. Cameras can be okay, but really want their proprietary app. DAC is good.
Mid range Samsungs and pretty much everything that's not made by either Apple, Google, or Samsung still has it. We are just in the ridiculous situation that the more expensive the phone the less functionality it has.
My note 20 Ultra will keep getting used until there is, damn it.
The next Asus Rog phone is coming out pretty soon, I think. Guessing it will have one, but don't know how many cell networks it will end up fully working on.
*Nevermind the rog. It seems none of their phones have had an SD card slot. Lame
