No SD card? I'm out.

If they added that, I would get one, the price is amazing - although I'd flash a default CM image over it to get rid of that metro theme they've added.



My must have these days is wireless charging (Qi). It is so convenient being able to just place the device down and have charging immediately happen. Also fantastic for use in the car cradles so you don't have to connect power each time.


Also, usb power can eventually stop working/work intermittently. But for most devices, you can add it after.


I recently switched from a phone with a sd card slot to one without. I miss the cheap extra storage, but having 'only' 64 gigs of storage hasn't hurt me yet. Is there a particular use case that an SD card allows and large built-in storage doesn't? Would internal storage of 128gb be enough?


>having 'only' 64 gigs of storage hasn't hurt me yet

If I only have 64GB (plus OS overhead, plus normal data, plus Android likes to report as being out of space when there is still some left), then once I put my music on, I'm almost out, not ideal when I want a few large apps, to download a large file temporarily, etc...


The 64 GB version seems like plenty of space. If you need to transfer data and you don't like wifi, you can get a USB OTG cable and a USB microSD card reader for $10.
