The Samsung Galaxy S6 has no expandable memory slot to insert a memory card

which previous models did have.

Has this put you off buying it? or you still bought it but used other ways to save the photos/videos (in addition to the internal memory?)

Share your views.


and also, what cloud options are there to save your photos/videos on the s6 (as you cannot insert an SD card) (eg, one drive/ google drive) ???

    It has not put me off and with VF on a 1 year contract the 128 model was the same cost as the 64. Plus it comes with 100gb of free cloud.

    it has put me off, as well as the fixed battery.
    I have a s5, with 64gb msd and a bigger double capacity battery.

    cant change either in s6. so, yes put me right off.

    ps, i use google cloud, and its set to autobackup my photos.

    Thank goodness it saved me a fortune.

    It wouldn't put me off any more than the fact its samsung and I don't get on with them particularly.
    As long as it has 64g internal it wouldn't bother me at all. As for the non removable battery, again doesn't worry me in the least.

    My current phone has no sd card and a non removable battery. I guess it depends on how much use you can get out of it before it goes flat. As long as it can manage to go a full day with at least 5-6 hrs on screen time then it would be ok for me.
