Samsung Galaxy S22 will confirm the death of a familiar hardware feature

The year 2022 is coming with a pretty exciting new start, Samsung is said to be launching the Galaxy S22 soon in January with many changes and improvements. Codenamed “Rainbow”, the Galaxy S22 will have a new design, more powerful hardware, an improved camera and even an S Pen for the Galaxy S22 Ultra version. But besides that, there will be a familiar hardware feature removed.

Surprise and surprise, the microSD card slot will completely disappear on Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series, according to the latest leaked source. Previously, Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy S21 also did not have a microSD card slot. However, many people think that this is just an experimental step by Samsung and maybe the memory card slot will return in the next generation of smartphones.

The fact that the Galaxy S22 also removes the memory card slot will be confirmation, the death of memory expansion with a microSD card. Previously, Samsung removed the microSD card slot on the Galaxy S6, but brought it back on the Galaxy S7, due to a lot of user objections.

While this is a very familiar hardware feature on most smartphones except the iPhone, it is undeniable that it also has its downsides and limitations. In fact, microSD cards can be inconvenient and reduce the user experience, by pulling read/write speeds lower than the internal memory, and slowing down the smartphone.

Galaxy S22 will have storage capacity from 128GB, higher to 256GB and 512GB. With such a large internal memory storage capacity, the use of an external microSD card will also be unnecessary.
