remove sd card S21

Yes really disappointed with Samsung! Not going to buy this time!

They are doing it to slowly expand cloud storage options

You forgot the plastic instead of glass, 1080p instead 1440p and the charger... The changes go across all 3 models unfortunately, and the biggest chunk of people can afford the 21 and 21+ vs a smaller % for the ultra(2019-2020 official numbers are the proof) 2020 was a financial disaster, they need to keep making profit by taking away features. You have all the right to be disappointed. The only positive feedback you'll see is from community managers and ambassadors, they're not allowed to pinpoint the negatives.

That doesn't mean the phone is bad, not at all, but it's becoming ridiculous how they over charge, take away options and also look the other way when something is missing or not on par.

It is true .. and also the compulsion to buy a package from the cloud, something we did not expect from Samsung, even Samsung Galaxy employees know the benefit of the sd card when any crisis occurs in the device and the ease of upgrading the device to the latest one where all the data is just transferring the sd

OTG : that is your option now to save your phone data
