I have a 512gb Note 20 ultra and was looking at upgrades and all there is, is the Fold (Not Interested) and the S22? (No memory card slot) so forget it.
Yeah taking out SD support was a serious mistake. You have to wonder about Samsung's logic.
It's funny how their low end phones seem to have more features than the top models.

I currently have a 64 GB S6, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 32 GB S7 with an 128 GB SD card. (I can upgrade through work and sell my S6, so I'll even come out ahead.)
I know that access to the 128 GB SD card is slower than to internal storage, but how much exactly? Would that affect my user experience at all? Would I notice if files are read from, or written to, the SD card on the S7 compared to the internal storage on my current S6?
Any recommendations for specific SD card to put in the S7?
Thanks!

Fastest card you can get would be the Samsung Pro Plus.
And they're priced accordingly, too: $150 for 95 Mb/x, 128 GB on Amazon. Would an 80 Mb/s EVO+ (at about $60 less than half) make a lot of difference in user experience?
(By the way, I'm not a gamer at all, so I doubt I'll have games or other very large apps on the SD card, just media such as photos, music, etc.)

I paid $93 for the 128GB Pro Plus direct from Samsung. I'd say at that price its better to skip the Evo altogether. As for speed the Evo will probably do what you want. I was using a Toshiba class 10 for the past year and a half and had zero speed issues but wanted to jump to the Pro Plus for the extra capacity and to have the speed for HD recording.
I use the Sandisk 128GB 80MB/s without any problem at all, came from S6 64GB, have not noticed any major difference, it works good enough.

@[email protected], since you already did what I'm considering doing, how's the upgrade from S6 to S7 been for you? Are you liking it? Something you'd recommend? How's the S7 camera holding up compared to the S6? (I know the reviews are generally very favorable, but it's always good to get the opinion of someone who's actually made the jump.)

hmm, for me I really wanted IP68 and microSD, so it was worth the upgrade, bu also the better battery life and better camera, I love the instant focus... so I would say it was worth the jump, but bare in mind I do get my phone through work so I don't pay for them.
Paid 39$ at best buy on a price match for a 64gb pro plus Samsung
More than read speed for specs on a card.
Dear Community,
I have been using a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for the past two years without any significant issues, apart from a defective screen which got replaced and is now pink-ish near the bottom, and a noisy camera when focusing. Generally I like the device quite a bit, despite it being not officially supported under Android 8 Oreo. The only relatively significant drawback for me is the lack of a microSD card slot - my version is the 32GB one and is almost always out of enough (3-5GB) free space (this, of course, is largely my fault ).
I got a new Huawei Mate 10 lite as a present past week. The 64GB version with 4GB of RAM.
I am now in doubt whether I should upgrade to the newer (but cheaper and bigger) phone or stick with the SGS6 Edge I already like and feel as enough for my current and future (1-3 year) needs. Unfortunately I am afraid that I would have to choose only one of those devices, so any opinions, questions and advice are welcome.
This is the GSMarena comparison of the phones, and the photo quality comparison.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Nikolay
WHello colleagues I am thinking of changing my phone I want to buy a note 20 ultra or S21 Ultra I do not know which one to choose on the one hand as a note appeals to me by the SD card reader S21 Ultra Unfortunately there is no Sd reader But it has a newer processor than Note I don't know which one to choose Maybe you can help me
The process speeds will have minimal difference that you'll notice. It's more about how and what you want to use your phone. If you use the SD card, that could be important. The Note 20 Ultra is the last phone to have the MST (magnetic secure transmission) which allows one to use the phone with card readers that do not NFC. It simulates the magnetic swipe. It works pretty well. Obviously, the S21 will have an extra year of updates. The MST isn't talked about much because most people are either using NFC--phone or smartwatch--or the actual cards.
The new chips could be considered since in theory, they should be more power-efficient. Then again, they also have displays with high refresh rates.
Personally, I'm holding off on upgrading. I don't like the removal of the SD card. I want the MST back. The camera and software upgrades are not enough. The Note 20 Ultra does more than I need it to. I wish I had the version with the larger storage. I wish I could transfer more apps to the SD card, but Google screw that when they changed the Andriod structure changed about five or so years ago. It would be nice to bring back the IR blaster, but that was probably very limited in use. The few things the newer phones have is very minimal and not a must-have for me.
I am planning on buying the S22 Ultra so I've been watching YouTube reviews and they were all positive.
Today I saw this post and it made me hesitant about buying the phone. This post is about the Exynos variant while the videos I watched was from American Youtuber so the were reviewing the SD and all of them gave positive reviews except for the Battery life.
You can't make everybody happy and some phones obviously have issues. I have had my SM-S908W (SD) for a couple of months now and have had zero issues. Battery life is good but not great which is likely due to the faster processors and brighter screens on these phones.
Based on everything being reported here, the SD is the better option.
Don't let the haters influence your decision making process. They are a vocal minority and some don't even have first hand experience with the phone.
SD version is the better version, I have no complaints about mine other than the battery life (it kinda sucks)
Luckily we're getting the Snapdragon this time in the middle east, SM-S908E/DS model.
S21 and below were all Exynos !
If you come from z flip 3 like me, you should be feel relieve that s22 ultra has better battery life eventhough both phones are the latest in their very own lineup.
I have the S22U 512GB SD and it's great. I'm coming from a Note 10+. I don't recommend the 128GB version. Go with the 256GB or bigger. The larger capacity storage modules that Samsung uses are faster than the smaller ones.
I'm not heavy user and normally not far from a charger, so the battery hasn't been an issue for me.
I wish Samsung included microSD, but storage hasn't been an issue so far. I have room for all of my apps and my entire music collection (~170GB) and I still have ~250GB of free space. I don't keep my photos and videos on my phone. I offload them to a 16TB regularly for long term storage.

Same with trading in my z fold 3 for the S22u. The fold's battery life definitely took a hit with that huge screen and not being able to store the s pen convinced me the S22u was the was the way to go. Totally happy and I've never looked back.
