u highlighted the problems without any solution

How can one use cloud storage?

gypsey:
yes! so what was the request?

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

Olivers:
Who still uses android?

godquality:
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.

malware:
Are you so sure about that?

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.

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.

salford1:
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.

gypsey:
hear her? did she show any interest in having a relationship with you? how is my involvement going to help your situation?

Martin0:
h mm yeah I can presume it withing myself but I feel there's something she's afraid of that I can't say here,you know when a lady has been hurt in the past taking a second chance will definately be difficult,that why majorly I don't put any blam on her and am not going to force it out on her likewise I can aswell give to get her into her own decision..but atleast she can express some signs of little exposure so who's coming will know were his faith lay's.you can help me in some little way u can,like have dinner with her take her out and u know you both can talk,let her understand the present and take away the past,you a man nau and I trust u littlel as 80percent here...

gypsey:
i can take her out? for you or for me? besides you have not told me if she has any interests in having relationship with you, just find from her if she likes you first then you will will know were you stand

eezeribe:
Congrats on your decision based on emotions,not logic...Everything has advantages and disadvantages including internal storage.
what happens to your internal memory when the phone is flashed or formatted
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.

Olivers:
Who still uses android?

Martin0:
ok no problem I will do that

Lexusgs430:
At the expense of our precious data?

gypsey:
Good! because if you like her very much and she does like you the same way or even less it means you are wasting your energy on her, don't you think?

Kaybaba5:
