I mean, I rarely actually watch videos on my phone, but I have done it several times when I’m on flights.
Mostly, I just like the flexibility that I get from having an SD card slot. Why do you think its annoying?
I also want a headphone jack and a removable battery. I’d be willing to have a slightly larger, slightly less water resistant phone if it had these features.
Last time I used an SD card in a phone (actually used it: not just having one in there) was with a phone that have like 16-32GBs. Given you couldn’t install apps on it, that mean doing annoying file management to just try to get enough space to install something. Granted, if your use case is just bulk storage and the base phone has plenty of space for apps, I imagine its perfectly fine.
Don’t waste your time on these people. The same people complaining about an affordable phone are the same people who can’t afford a phone with high internal storage and cloud options. The irony is palpable.
I’m mostly just joking because I hate using phones instead of laptops/desktops and have bad experiences with SD cards in phones over a decade ago. Should have probably included some /j or /s to make that more clear, but /shrug.
I’d actually rather have the option than not and I don’t actually judge people for watching things on their phones.
