    I’m just pissed that apples dominance has neutered good competitive Android phones in the US. There’s only a few higher end Android phones to pick from and none have even a microsd card slot anymore. Let alone a headphone jack or replaceable battery. I have the ability to replace my note 20 ultra battery (current phone and last high end Samsung with a microsd card slot) but Samsung won’t sell the batteries and the aftermarket ones are hot garbage. I may have another tear or so before I’m forced to get a new phone just because of that.

      Agreed. The fact that Samsung S phones lack memory card slots leads me to getting A phones instead.

      A lot of people tell me that Chinese phones also have memory card slots but I am not touching these phones at all.

        Yeah. I don’t really want the Chinese backdoor secret data sending phones. It’s bad enough our own government is probably doing it to us. I really liked my LG V40. Wish LG stayed in the market.
