i need a new phone, they're making me get a new sim card and this one's like ... so full

i don't have anywhere to store things to back it up but still have them accessible bc i don't have a desktop and like - my sd card is so full i can't save stuff from the phone to it

but new phones don't have sd card slots anymore????????????????

along with not having headphone jacks

so like i literally cannot buy a new phone and transfer all the crap on this one bc none of them have enough memory????????????

even the really fancy pricey ones are utterly shit in this regard??????????

(for clarity: i am speaking solely of android phones, i know not of iphones, i've given up on apple)

like i want a phone i can do photo edits on AND download mvs AND store multiple instances of 51 fifty-minute long episodes of a single chinese tv show to watch whenever PLUS a bunch of movies and screen recordings?

128GB is NOT ENOUGH for that especially since at least 12GB will end up being OS right?

like i literally was just looking to buy a new phone of the exact same kind i have right now bc it's perfect - it's only flaw is that it's old and full and won't be getting new updates - but i can't bc they're literally only available refurbished and then STILL thin on the ground

most likely bc they're the last phone generation with sd cards and headphone jacks!!! i don't blame people for not giving them up!

i just want to put the new sim card in something else so i don't have to worry about transfering and i can leave most of my stuff where it is and use Old Phone as a music player i guess

but i WOULD get a NEW new phone!!!

if only! they! had! expandable! memory!

we do not speak of cloud storage - if you have to keep paying extra for it, it doesn't count as part of your phone!!!

#xcz #personal whining #i just need to vent #like fancy new phone with cool cameras etc: 128gb memory #3 year old refurbished phone: 128gb memory PLUS 1T sd card #do you see my dilemma??????#what is in the water these phone designers are drinking?????#i don't want a phone i need two hands to operate! that has a pen or folds in half!?#i've already got an old tablet and my hands are barely big enough for the phone i do have #at least for the headphones there are adapters and yes i know i could use a usb drive but that's #ONE MORE THING to carry around and there's already so much i shlep everywhere #like great i have my phone but the drive's in my other pants' pocket or in my suitcase or on the bedside table #no. i want it ALL on the phone #if i need internet connectivity to get to it or wifi or bluetooth then it's not really actually 'accessible' is it?#also i want the 12GB of RAM but that seems s pipe dream given everything else #i'm just feeling very ... flouted? uhhh thwarted. yes that
