Iceuniverse a well-known Samsung leakster on Twitter hint no more note line. I very confused if there is one this year. Samsung teased a note without a front camera during the unpack.

It's obviously cost cutting to remove the Micro SD slot but I can use the card in one my cameras so more RAW pictures so not too bad. TBH the wife calls me the cable and charger guy because I never throw them away I've got a whole cabinet draw full
Probably a good idea to not give me any more. It's second in my lock down list of jobs to clear the draw but it's just so hard to get rid of them 
Remember the S21 is about £150 cheaper than my S20 so I can live with the compromises.

I doubt it for cutting cost. They can easily pass the cost to consumers without pushback. The s21 has double Sim but it disabled for the US. Does make sense to you? Every US model has physical hardware to support it but it's DISABLED. I have Samsung's microSD I would like to use. It probably cost Samsung peanuts to include it.

My 512gb is almost full.
A quote from Android Police review of all S21 versions.."For most people, the base Galaxy S21 is the phone to get. It has all the important features and hardware from the S21+ and S21 Ultra, but at a more attractive $800 starting price." Obviously just their opinion.

I just checked my Note 10+ that has 256gb -- 20gb of photos, 30gb of videos and another 8gb of audio.
I stream all music, podcasts and video. I take piles of photos and I have loads of room. Nerds whining about cords, cable jacks, earbuds and SD cards. Most people don't care.

It's mostly the photo and video people? If you take tons of video and photos and like to work on them outside the phone.... having the SD card just makes dealing with them easier for allot of peoples work flows.
Personally. I'm the same way switch. Taken a lost of photos and vids, plenty of space left on my S9+ with 128gb of space between the internal and SD card. If I just had more internal space, I wouldn't care. I also don't use SD cards in my workflow very often, so again... not really affected.

Obviously, People who didn't invest in those things wouldn't miss it. I did invest in those things. I have 7yrs old earphones I would like to use with it. Bluetooth is fine for music but not so much for videos because audio goes out of sync. I have a solution that met my needs so I'm not whining about the missing jack.
There's no way around the SD card. Samsung doesn't offer more than 512gb. I'm disappointed it's not Ultra enough. They offered 1tb on the s10+. This year Samsung is cutting corners wanting people to use cloud services. Cloud services aren't dependable for me.

I would think anyone that serious would be using a dslr?

Yes, but there are plenty of scenarios where that doesn't play out. I know during travelling in 2019 I just took only my S9+ as I didn't want to lug a camera around Europe. Or scenarios where they want out more affordable/portable equipment and they just ask you to turn in an SD card. The are plenty of scenarios.
But your right. Most people, not gonna care.

Because a sd card costs 50 and a 512gb phone usually costs 200-300 more?
I don't use it therefor it's not Important etc etc
Also yeah you can use a DLSR, but when you visit places in the olden times when travel was allowed, and you record in 4k60fps that 128GB goes very fast, and who wants to lug around another 500 euro camera around. You want family videos, not award winning photographs
.Plus you say nerds crying about SD card, but there's a lot of people complaining about SD card, but hey ho if you're fine about features being removed purely for greed, I wonder what else they can remove next, charger port?

It's fine if you can stream, here in the German land streaming is near imposible unless you only live in a large city, you drive outside your village no data connection anymore as soon as you walk 5 meters from the village, plus my work has zero net connection.
So all my podcasts, and music are downloaded.

Dont worry apple is working on that as we speak. Samsung will follow suit the same way they followed suit with no charger in the box.
, I use USB for my carplay/android auto.

it's around 860 over here but maybe the price will drop a bit more in the next weeks. Wouldn't bet on it though
I just can't bring myself to spend that much on a phone any more. Especially when the upgrades available aren't a massive step above the previous versions.

understandable, but the ultra-line is the highest tier. That being said, i also wasn't happy to spend a lot of money on a new phone, but mine was busted, so i had to get something.
