Did they scrap out the microSD support to save cost?

Look at these pictures...
It's a perfect fit

(the microSD was intentionally moved 1 mm away to show the edges)
seems like there was going to be support for microSD, but in the end they decided not to do it

someone said in a thread in the accessories section that one of the NS cases they bought had what seemed like a slot in the side to remove and insert an SD card, so maybe?

Isn't that where the NFC chip is located, hence the prongs? Or is the chip entirely in the back case?

the prongs connects to the back cover that have some sort of Antennae or flat Speaker
i'll say it's Antennae as the speaker is already in the back
look at the picture (an my totally worn out space bar on the keyboard ), the 2 gold/copper contacts and the rectangle shape that it's attached to

Yeah, according to the teardown on iFixit(http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1), that rectangle on the back is the NFC module so those contacts run into the chip on the motherboard.
So, then I suppose, the question becomes did Google have to choose between microSD support or NFC?

but look at the back cover, it does also have the hole where the microSD was supposed to go
but you are right on that question, it might have came down to the choice of this or that...
i wonder if there's any hardware hack, to install the microSD support for ourself

in the end the fact is it doesnt have an SD card so we gotta deal with what we got, I for one dont really care, I hate to do this but the iphone doesnt have an SD card, that isnt a big deal is it?
The world may never know

Ultimately, I agree. However, if I had been given a choice between NFC and a microSD card if that is indeed what it came down to, I probably would have chosen the latter. 16gbs is far more than enough space for me. I recently wiped my SD partition which was barely a gig simply because it was becoming too cluttered (left over folders from apps I no longer used, old NAND backups that weren't my ohshitstock fallback, just generally outdated stuff, et al.
I highly doubt I will ever fill up the space entirely as I'm not one who insists on walking around with my entire mp3 collection, both Star Wars trilogies, and/or my family photographic/videographic history just because I think I should be able to. Lol

here is another close up, of the back cover with the perfect fit with extra room on both side of the microSD

Heres how i see it, 16 gigs is more than enough for what i would want on it, really though who doesnt have an ipod or an mp3 player that they dont cary with them anyways.
I know i have my 4th gen touch with me whenever i go out,

according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication
NFC has a way shorter distance than Bluetooth and less data rate.
so... what's the future to provide NFC support?
and the radio frecuency used is very low, as in easy to face interference issues.
heck even a R/C car can break havoc to a NFC

Sort of like the folks on the Vibrant forums installed a FFC? Or the physical Galaxy S GPS fix?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I thought the Nexus S is using a new Ext4 partition or something. If I were you, I'd return the NS for a GS and throw 2.3 on it. Hell of a lot easier than what you're talking about doing.

There are numerous reasons to get rid of the removable storage.
1) Move to the cloud and don't worry about local storage
2) More reliable hardware if you can standardize on the assembly line
3) More security, Less attack vectors (rootin n1 with sd card hack)
4) Easier to test the recent switch to ext 4 by removing variables
5) Less moving parts
6) Faster data access

That would be like what the Vibrant did.
But Nexus S has better OS, NFC, and everything else seems slightly better out of the box.
The rest of the SGS series seems to have poor QA, and software wise is always playing a catch up game

yes, in a similar fashion, but instead of installing a FFC, we install a microSD slot
the challenge on this side project is to find a microSD mount that fits into that hole in the compartment, and match the soldering pins in the motherboard.

No one is gonna be "adding" a micro sd slot like a FFC was added. It's an entirely different situation. With the ffc was just pulled. In this case the pcb is new:

oh well, there goes the idea.
i can see it has no space nor any point of contacts to mount the microSD
seems like they really had to choose either or scenario as mentioned above
NFC vs. microSD

this is what i was talking about in a previous post about how the case had a space for an SD card

Look guys, it doesn't have internal Micro SD, this is all pure NAND, no SD trickery like WP7... Google made this a dev device, and they wanted to give devs a feature of Gingerbread, virtual SD card compartments. They wanted you to use the virtual SD card for transfer, it's a feature for Gingerbread, so devices with no SD card can work better with Froyo's apps to sd. It's very basic, and they did want to cut costs, wouldn't they have used just an internal SDHC 16gig micro SD card? They just didn't put one, end of discussion.

Is Samsung dropping the 16GB model?

At the launch event the official spec sheet shows only 32GB/64GB storage. There is no mention of 16GB... so has Samsung finally dropped the 16GB model? If so this is GREAT news!!! Also I see 60fps video recording, which will finally allow me to drop my canon t2i which I primarily use for its 60fps capabilities to make slow motion videos.
Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihGMrrf-WlE

No but you can drop $17 and pick up a 64GB MicroSD.

apparently they did which is awesome, i made many mistakes in my life especially when i used to buy the 16GB models it sucks when you are out of space i hate it and i got a 32GB (95% full) i had to giveup on some of my stuff to recover space useless thing when you can't decide which stays and which goes with the wind XD
32GB is okay still not sure its enough but remains by far better that 16GB, hopefully all high end devices will end up with more space
+1 on that comment its indeed GREAT news

I wish, like HTC did with the HTC One. But according to the major tech news sites we should expect a 16GB version.

Spec sheet shows 32/64 GB. But in the actual unveiling, they also mentioned 16GB.

just make sure you buy a fast one! i bought the cheapest reputable 32gb microSD for my current phone and it takes an age to write stuff!
its fine in use though

Re: Is Samsung dropping the 16GB model? Is 32GB the base model now?
Awesome about 60 fps news.. and I hated the 16gb too and I am tired of binding apps.. directory bind is just so messed up and sometimes fails a lot.. a 32 gb with a sd slot is sweet .. a 64 gb is sweeter..

While I haven't heard they dropped the 16gig version it's entirely possible that they looked at the One and said eff it, we do 32/64gigs too. They could even go 32/64/128 considering they manufacture their own memories, why not one-up competition in that regard too?

Each increment from 16GB>32GB>64GB costs the manufacturer $10. If Samsung sells 30MM SGS4's and offered 32GB of memory "standard" that's $300M in lost profit assuming the selling price stays the same. If 4.5MM (15%) of those are people paying $100 more for 32GB of memory that costs Samsung $10 that's another $405MM in lost profit. So it's highly unlikely they'll be playing Marie Antionette ("let them eat cake") any time soon.
P.S. - The cost of a removable SD card is about $15-20. Not for the single part but because of things like flaps to protect it on sealed devices and the added expense of producing the device because of the additional (internal) design and fitment complexity it introduces. That's why HTC's ups their internal storage vs. providing an SD card on the majority of their devices and the backs of Samsung's devices are removable.

It seems that the S4 16GB price will be slightly above the HTC One 32GB, Samsung has no reason to upgrade it for free if they can take some more money for the 32GB.

Re: Is Samsung dropping the 16GB model? Is 32GB the base model now?
According to Android Central, available in 16, 32, & 64GB, fwiw...

I wish! I doubt I'll be able to find the 32GB version in my country, and if I do I bet it will be extremely overpriced
and I really wanted the 32GB version, on my SIII 16 wasn't nearly enough, I had to delete a few good games :/
I wish Android re-emplemented the moving apps to external sd card feature, why did they even discard that anyway?

All sales advertisement for S4 in Europe is 16GB version.
I can imagine that no sales company will set 32GB or 64GB for sale because price tag already is very high!

i think so

The 16 gig version lives and will be available in North America, EU and India. Confirmation Sources:
1. UK
2. US

best micro sd card for the note 9

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting the Samsung evo + u3 128gb or the sandisk ultra uhs-i 200gb.
Which of these cards would work perfectly for the note 9? I have read from somewhere that the note 9 can't fully utilize the speed of the Samsung evo +.
I would like to store my media on the card and 4k footage recorded should be stored directly into the card.
Thanks for the input.

I'm using the Sandisk 400GB and it's been flawless so far.

Go for a Samsung Evo + class 10 high end card. I have a 65 gig one and transfer speed and durability are excellent. They're only 20 bucks. I've had many problems over the years with other brands.

I have the same Sandisk Ultra 128GB Micro SDXC that I've used since I had my S7 and it works great. Only $27 on Amazon.

Same here, I use the Sandisk Ultra 128GB

I still use the 256gb Samsung that came with the note 7, works like a champ. I am waiting for the Samsung 512gb to come out, so I can have the 1tb total.
Sent from my Samsung SM-N960U1 using XDA Labs

Thanks guys for the recommendation. I finally pulled the trigger on the Samsung evo + 128gb. Been using the same sandisk 64gb since my galaxy s3 days ( about 7 years) just need to upgrade the size . 128 + 128 in total seems about right.
However, the Note9 can't achieve the ideal speed of 90mbps write speed for this card.

If you have the extra cash I'd jump on this one right now. I'm using it and it's performing flawlessly.

90mb is about 11MB/s. Read will always be faster. Write takes longer. It is 2018 and I don't understand why people still don't understand this. But there are many people that believe the Earth is flat in 2018.

I guess you all missed the 400GB Sandisk for $99 on Amazon. I was trying to hold out for Samsung or SanDisk to come out with their 512GB micro SD card but realized it will probably be 12-18 months before price comes down to a palatable level so I settle for the 400GB for $100.

Best???? Well the 256GB HyperX Gaming uSD card... But only by a tiny margin (Claimed speeds: 100MB/s read speeds, 80MB/s write speeds):

Just curious, and to get ideas, guys. What reasons do you have for getting such large SD cards, perhaps lots of photos/videos? Currently still using my old 32Gb SD card from my Note 4 and still works well for backups and photos, plus w/ the Note 9's 128Gb, I've barely reached half. Where do you guys use it for, perhaps I may find some more usefulness for it and get a new, larger one. Thanks.

Exactly that. Videos, photos, music and documents. I rather have it on my device than access through the cloud.

Some people just consume more media and need more space for media than others. Games these days are also quite heavy for storage so they can eat up your internal pretty easily. And just to add to what @DarkManX4lf has said, some users would rather not be at the mercy of data coverage to access cloud storage. Having your media and other files on hand 24/7 regardless of data/WiFi coverage is a valuable option.
If your usage habits currently don't necessitate the use of a large Micro SD card then I don't see the point in replacing the one you have now.

I now use my cell more than my desktop/laptop. I can go an entire week or so without getting on there. So between it being my main computer at home, work, car, etc and also needing extra space for Gear VR games/media, the larger card is well used.

All info about Honor View20 so far (come and share your thoughts)

The news about view 20 can be found everywhere except this forum. That's weird.
Here is the summary of XDA reports about Honor view 20 showcase in Hong Kong so far:
1. The in-screen hole display
Honor claims View 20 in-display hole is 4.5mm, 1.5mm smaller than Samsung A8s's solution. It is somehow a little awkward Samsung's and Honor 's showcases fell on the same day. But I think Honor wins this round.
Although it seems a mere 1.5mm difference doesn't matter too much, I believe that’s a big improvement in the display craftsmanship. Good job, Honor.
I like the hole-punch screen (compared with the ugly notch) and it actually extends the screen to body ratio to a high level, nearly 100%. If 2018 is the year of notch, hole seems the new trend in the coming 2019.
2. 48MP rear camera
It may become the first phone with 48-megapixel camera, powered by Sony’s IMX586 CMOS sensor. This report said this sensor has good performance in low-light shooting and zooming in on photos taken from a distance. In addition, Kirin 980 chipset with the dual-ISP and dual-NPU can provide a better image quality with more details.
PS: Wanna figure out how much detailed can the image be? Anyone can find any sample pictures?
3. Link Turbo
According to XDA reports, this is “an AI feature that allows simultaneous downloads over WiFi and 4G. “ Samsung released similar feature before but I never heard about it.
“Link Turbo also enables better switching between WiFi and 4G depending on signal strength.”
This sounds very powerful but I still feel confused how will it works. So here comes a key point: how much will view 20 price be?
Just check the price of A8s (https://gadgets.ndtv.com/samsung-galaxy-a8s-5759), it is about 29,900 INR, equal to 420 USD( that’s in high price range though).
So I guess Honor View20 may be more expensive than Samsung A8s?
Because with smaller hole and better rear camara (Samsung A8s: 24MP, Honor View20: 48MP), it seems unreasonable to lower the price…
Feel free to share your thoughts and update what you can find about View 20 info below.
I also will update what I find here.
Update (12.26):
The price in China is released!
6GB RAM + 128GB of storage for ￥2999 ($435),
8GB RAM + 128GB of storage for ￥3499 ($510),
the “MOSCHINO” version with 8GB RAM +256 GB of storage for ￥3999 ($580).
What do you think of the price value?

this quote on the XDA page:
Note: Huawei has stopped providing official bootloader unlock codes for its devices. Therefore, the bootloader of the Honor View 20 cannot be unlocked, which means that users cannot root or install custom ROMs.
I was aware you could not load a custom rom with a locked bootloader, but my understanding was you could root the dveice still, can anyone confirm? I don't care at all about custom roms but I can't live without root.

There is still no way to unlock the phone though. I don't think view20 will have it. somebody said Funkyhuawei can help you root but you need to buy the unlock code. I use an Honor 8X but I'm fine to use without rooting as all the specs work well.
Now View 20 haven't released so we can wait and see if someone can find a way to unlock it.

I agree we need to wait for release before coming to any conclusions. But I still think the statement on XDA is incorrect, root on this device should be possible whether its locked boot loader or not. ref: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-necessary-to-unlock-bootloader-before-rooting-Android-phones

Countdown posters guessing
Waiting for the View20 launch in China today.
I Found some countdown posters on Honor Phone Chinese weibo.
One is a big "M" and another is a "T".
I guess "M" maybe Maserati? T is technology?

Also the headphone jack and SD card are great additions (Although Is suspect it uses the lame hybrid sim tray where you can't use two sims and SD card at the same time).

Hmm, to me, removing, for me, basic features, does not seem like a step in right direction, I kinda like knowing about notifications without having to turn on the phone.
With notification led it would be great phone for me, I think. (currently I have nova3 and I hate that notifications are not shown in status bar because of the notch)

They haven't released the final price for Global version. So maybe we can wait until the global launch day Jan.22.

In case there is any confusion, this phone does support a memory card, it doesn't use the standard SD-card it uses the Huawei made nano memory card. There is no extra slot for this card, the card is exactly the same size as a nano sim card and therefore to use it, you put it in the sim card tray in place of the secondary sim.
So unfortunately you cannot use two SIM's and a memory card at the same time (very few phones these days do anyway).

Great pricing (although it will be more in EU)
the only thing that annoys me so far, is the fact that it uses Huawei's own technology for memory expansion

Pricing has been released. (Not good news unfortunately for global version)
china
6GB model - $405 USD
8GB model - $480 USB
Global
6GB Model - $630 USD
8GB model - $760 USD

Question Does 2x SIM card and 1x SD card in 2 hibrid dual sim really works?

Hi guys!
I've got one question: is it possible to use 3 cards on 2 slots in this model?
I've watched some videos and read some forums, and in other phones it is possible.
But I'm asking for this model.

You can't use three sim cards at the same time, just two, or one sim card and one micro sd

Looks like it's possible. I have seen some video with some Russian guy doing it on this phone when I looked for videos of disassembly and insides before buying this model. I think it's this video:
There shouldn't be any technical reason why it wouldn't work, other than general hackishness of the way it is done. Of course there is also high probability of damaging the phone this way if the SIM chip separates from the SD card and catches on the pins during insertion or extraction of the holder.

Forgot to add - I'd like to use 2 sim cards and 1 sd card at the same time, there are ways and that's why I ask

I hope it is posibble, but I'm searching real users, who did it and it works till now

@noodpowiedzszybko maybe you should rename the thread title to: Does 2x SIM cards + MicroSD Mod really work?
Because I thought you would ask about 3 credit cards in Google pay!

I've seen this mods on other devices.
But as I don't use 2 SIM cards i've never had any reason to try it.

You can buy something like this and hide it under the case. Used it on other phones and worked like charm. Now have it somewhere but cant remeber where to check. Anyway it is 2 dollars cost. This you dont risk destroying sd card and sim card. I see ypu are from poland as me. Just order on allegro. https://allegro.pl/oferta/3x-nano-sim-card-adapter-ma-specjalna-10675868534

the adapters from post 7 work like a charm in other devices. Why shouldnt they work with poco x3pro ...

I have this device you show here and it works as it offers, I was using it with my 128gb card in my old Redmi note 5, but I haven't tried it in my X3 pro because I have the 8/256 version, and I don't need the extra space so far hehehe

Will work. I would test just dont have extra sim to test but if it works in any other phones it will work also here. It ia not like it is locked by software. It is only hardware limit of hybrid dual sim.

It could be a limitation of software as well, because my brother had a dual Samsung S8 plus, and that device didn't allow to use the adapter but my previous note 5 worked fine with it, I haven't tried it in my X3 pro, but I also think it will work here in case I needed it....
