 Hello, this is TheTechBoy with  Alternatives to Micro SD cards. If you just got a new phone or tablet and discovered it does not have external storage these options should be helpful. USB-c or Lightning Flash Drives A USB-c or Lightning flash drive is a great alternative to a Micro-sd card in a phone. They can easily hold 128 GB worth of files, music, and videos. They are easily pocketable and can work on almost any device. Unfortunately, unless you have a phone with two charging ports you cannot charge using a wired cable and transfer files.  A portable SSD A portable SSD can be bought for about 80 dollars and can have pretty high storage capacities.

 The Samsung Galaxy A72 is a better phone than the S21 in many ways, but here are four main ways the A72 is better than the S21. Reason 1: Micro SD Card Slot       The A72 has a micro SD card slot. A micro SD card slot is a very important aspect of a phone. The A72 has 128 Gigabytes of  expandable storage. The phone can expand up to one Terabyte of storage. The S21 only has only 256 Gigabytes of storage. You can not expand this storage without cloud storage or a USB storage device.   Reason 2: The Screen is Bigger     A bigger screen is a controversial issue, but here at TheTechBoy, we like big-screened phones. A bigger phone screen allows you to type faster and display more data on a single page. A bigger screen also allows you to watch and enjoy movies easier. Reason 3: A Headphone Jack     A headphone jack is a great feature on a phone. The headphone jack allows you to listen to audio on wired headphones and charge...
