Re: No microSD port?

microSD port has an advantage without relying on cloud backups when your phone breaks.

Let's say for some reason, you dropped your phone from your hand and it just didn't work anymore. You could retrieve your data from the cloud, which will take some amount of time to re-download. or you could recover the small microSD and plug in to a new phone and be on your way.

This is especially helpful when you have documents that you don't want to be on the cloud due to privacy or size, while relieving you from carrying a usb with a usb otg adaptor around.
