I agree the S21 series is a huge let down. far to many compromises made to cut cost and increase profits. I think I'm going to pass on the S21 series. I think the S20 and note 20 ultra is a better buy.

Yes, and samsung has done it before, back on the Note 6 I think. It was a foolish move back then & it is foolish now! 

Having increased internal storage isn't a solution either. There's many reasons why an external sd card is more than just useful, whether it's moving data easily, or being able to use smart switch on your phone.

I wouldn't want a phone without one.

honestly I can't see an SD card slot costing samsung more then $2 to put in. I'm sure Profit margins work in multiplications of build cost. but im sure most people would rather pay an extra $30 or what ever it would be for an SD card slot. but I really think the more likely reason for the removal is samsung is getting some sort of kick back on cloud services from Microsoft. but Microsoft OneDrive has really crappy services selection for cost.

They just want us to move toward cloud services. or maybe they also doesn't want that customer buy this series. I think now Samsung will improve their folding Phones lineup so that we will shift from S series to foldables. #MarketingStrategies.

Isn't it only the Ultra that doesn't have a micro SD card slot?
