    Unfortunately not possible (Pixel). If I did had one I’d probably be happy with 128 GB (I have a few games as well on my phone), but I’ve heard a lot of people online get burned by failing SD cards so you never know.

    But the point is that even if I did put in an SD card is it really different than just buying a phone with higher storage? Also the built in UFS devices are much faster than SDs

      How would a failing MicroSD card be any different than losing or dropping a phone? I’ve never had a MicroSD card fail on me for the most part.

      I think MicroSD cards have the benefit of being able to be moved between devices.

        I’ve had a micro SD card fail, it sucks if you haven’t created a backup as flash storage used for SD cards is lower quality than what you get internally with UFS storage. I would say that’s the big difference to losing or dropping your phone.
