Again even Motorola is phasing out micro SD card. Anything above 300ish.

That really isn’t much of a positive note if you have a lot of data. You are forced to buy the higher tier storage if that’s even available to you.

Xiaomi is phasing it out as well

Unfortunately most android phones are slowly phasing away the SD card slot. The only flagship that still supports it is Sony with their Xperia. I don’t know of any major mid-rangers models that still support it. The only low end phones now. But the overall experience is painful.

Np hope you have a great day!

Rcs isn’t a open source but an open standard. Two very different things.

Open standard: anyone can use the standard but could be proprietary/closed source

Open source: anyone can edit/review the code and forket it if they want to.

The issue with RCS currently is that Google won’t release the API for it on android and only allows Samsung to use it for their app. Another part is that their encryption is based on signal and released a white paper about it.

Now it’s understandable why people would distrust Google. But apple is currently trying to add e2ee to the open standard (google also tried in the past but failed).

Mind you the only reason apple is even implementing RCS is because China is forcing them to. Since any new 5g devices must support rcs to be certified in china.

I hope this helps. Also have a android turtle from the blob!

Amazon photos?

They mainly make telecom equipment. Also the modern Nokia phones are made by a company called hmd global. Not Nokia proper.
