Inbuilt memory also has its disadvantages. Once the phone is dead, all the files inside are gone too.

.
At the bolded! Exactly!

This reason plus removable battery is the reason I am still stuck on a SGN4. The fear of my files dying with device (in case of mishaps) skips my breath.

That a memory card makes your phone lag is a mute reason. Get a faster much more better SD cards like the Samsung Evo+ xc U1. Or any of the newer ones. Calling a Xiaomi a flagship makes me laugh though.

As for virus, that will only happens if you download an apps illegally or from shady sites or you click on links you shouldn't. So it has nothing to do with memory cards.

Sorry but with all respect to your opinion, these reasons given made no sense.
@ the bolded!

That's true... I see those shits everyday buy they can never get to me. If I find any app to be paid on the playstore, I head for a cracked apk. Na there you go see pop-up saying your device has hundreds of malware and you need to scan it! I just smile and close the tab!

Yes, he is right! Na malware dey attack Android!

2 simple reasons I stopped using an sd card

Sd card (aka "memory card) also known as external memory, of course is a common possession among Nigerians but such is not the same with other countries as they use modern features such as "Cloud storage" it's like..unfortunately Nigeria is still a bit far from adapting this trend.
So in this post, I'm gonna explain to you the bads of using an sd card and hopefully convince you in using other easy storage option such as Cloud storage
so first I'm gonna start with the disadvantages of an sd card.

1. It makes your phone lag..
Have you ever notice or have ever tried comparing your phone startup speed? (that is the time it takes to power on or off??)
..well if you have ever tried it, you'll notice that you phone boots(startup) faster without sd card especially those with bigger memory size such as 64,128,256GB..that's why flagship such as the Xiaomi mi6 and even the upcoming Essential PH-1 are been released without sd card slot.. so the whole point here is to tell you that, an sd card could cause your phone to lag or probably hang..also take note that it might not be noticeable in some phones with advance and the latest processors such as those with "snapdragon SoC" or recent "mediatek chipsets series".

2. virus attacks
Of course almost everyone is aware of this ugly fact..sd card are very prone to virus and the only solution is to format it and in the process you tend to lose all your valuable data such as music,videos,pictures, e. t. c

so, yeah..that's all for now I hope you were a bit convinced
p. s :I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a memory card, all I'm trying to say is that..next time when getting a new device, go for those with big internal memory so that you can avoid the stress of buying an sd card and also the consequences that comes with it.

Front page wh0re.

Your post is full of ignorant bullcrap.

Re: Why I'll Never Use A Memory Card In My Life Again by tegak10: 11:37am On Jun 18, 2017
used google drive a few years bacK. It took almost an hour to upload a 70mb file. Idk uploading is slower than downloading.

Dont forget u still need data to acess those files... Imagine uploading a 1gb file today n because u wanna acess them tomorrow ull spend another 1gb data to access them. Ull keep burning 1gb data to acess them.

And remember if youre in a location with poor internet your cloud based files are gone..

Been using an sd card for about 2 years now, ive never had any issues.. My phone spoilt recently, all the files on the sd card were still intact while everything on the internal storage is gone.

The only time i had issues with a memory card was when i slotted a 32gb sd on a phone that couldnt accept more than 16gb...

also cloud storage isnt cheap... Google drive offers free 3gb cloud based storage, the rest you have to pay for.. So imagine paying to get more storage space and still using data to upload and access your files.. This isnt cheap..

Google offers unlimited storage for users to upload their photos at the expense of it being compressed... I actually use this feature when im connected to a wifi network or theres a network cheat. Minus that i avoid cloud storage....

Also virus isnt dependent on sd card...


The reason nobody uses cloud storage in nigeria is the same reason music streaming apps arent popular here... DATA

CrEaToRmalden:
I should have termed this an irregular post but I will not as everybody is entitled to his/her opinion.
An SD card remains relevant in any OS as long as there is no technology to replace it.
Also note that SD cards are being classified as you may already know. Why am being a bit critical on your idea is because of this line "unfortunately Nigeria is still a bit far from adapting this trend".
Are you insinuating that SD card is not being used worldwide anymore..?
Are you implying that the type of android devices being sent down here are the only ones with SD card slot..?
If yes, then you're wrong because SD card is an essential storage extension in any android system. Updating my phone requires an sd card even with the large internal storage capacity. Again, the case of Mobile viruses has nothing to do with an SD card, meaning that the security status be it attacked, vulnerable or safe is determined by the user.
As for the cloud storage, it wasn't meant for storing frequently used files, the main aim was for backup processes and for storing important files that is rarely handled by a user.
The only time an SD card can be risky is when its being FORMATED BY A USER AS AN INTERNAL STORAGE. its is likely to crash and user data gone because of the encryption formality. And this feature has been disabled by google in Android Nougat due to it glitches.
SD card was meant to contain stuffs like audio files music files, image files, large game cache files etc.
Then apps stored away from internal storage is what makes the device laggy.
plz how do i make my sd card d default memory in my samsung on5

mmc has done me strong thing too. In my own case, alot of my photos and videos are not accessible any more, and the card sometimes freezes the phone. I run my phone without a memory card now. I just transfer my content to my laptop.

It's an original sandisk card. It did not even last up to 6 months.

Ur memory card is not authentic. I sell original SanDisk and I am a trusted seller.

If you don't have back up,whether with memory card or internal storage... You are standing on one leg.
We respect your decision,but it will not stop millions of memory card users worldwide from using it... and it will definitely not affect the production of more memory cards by manufacturers.
Good luck.

Mehn education and exposure to knowledge is key o. imagine what this fellow is saying that memory card slows down phone boot up process. This guy failed to mention the fact that it could be his phone that may cause the slow speed with the ram in perspective. the op also said sd cards are prone to virus, abeg which device isnt prone to virus? is it a laptop's hard drive or external drive that isnt prone to virus? virus enters a device through things downloaded and through connection of the device to an infected pc.
this op is just making an uneducated statement
