t-mobile is cool

i'm on a $30/month plan with 5 gigs of data, unlimited text and 100 minutes (which is fine because i'm retarded and have no life and when i do go over google hangouts/skype handles the rest)

it also supports unlimited streaming of video (netflix/youtube/hulu) and audio (pandora/spotify) plus i can tether

I have the same thing but when I tried spotify I saw it running up my data.

You're holding it wrong. Try using cloud services instead of trudging around with a bag of jangling SD cards like a cave man. Photos and videos are automatically uploaded to Google Photos and your personal music library streams effortlessly from Play Music.

Actually, the sd card goes into the phone, not a bag. I believe you may have been using them wrong for a long time.

I forget which company it was, but one cell phone manufacture basically said "gently caress sd cards" and gave the reason that they were tired of people blaming their phones when the 128 GB sd card they bought off a random amazon seller for $15 would mysteriously corrupt after writing 16 GBs. It's probably not as big as factor as increasing sales of their higher capacity phones, but I can see their reasoning.

I've never experienced a single bug or error with my Nexus 6p. It's in flawless condition and the software works perfectly, not to mention delivering unto me a joyous user experience every time I interact with the device. The people you know are holding it wrong.

You don't need a lot of on-board storage in 2016 unless you're using them to record long (hour+) videos (i.e. you're a professional videographer)

I'd obviously rather have an SD card slot than not, but I can live with the 32 GB built in storage.

I have never once had to plug my phone into my PC to offload photos videos or music in two years thanks to a 128g sd card and that's just the way I like it. Maybe it's fine for folks who live in the city and get good coverage and have big data plans, but I don't.

I've never plugged my phone into my PC and I never will because ASUS File Manager is a really good app (and my PC doesn't have usb-c).

Whenever my phone hits WiFi it syncs all my photos and videos to Google Photos where they are automatically archived and indexed (photos are searchable, i.e. "dogs" will pull up my photos of dogs in my library) in full-res and available for download on any of my devices. This happens instantly without any user intervention and has never failed or bugged.

If you hold your phone wrong the bits have to flow against gravity. This aggravates the phone gremlins. Keeping your phone gremlins happy keeps your phone ticking over just nicely.

Yeah, but manufacturers don't wanna give it because 1) charging $50-$100 for an extra 16GB and 2) having to spend support time explaining to idiots that their 128 GB sd card is actually 16 GB and that they are idiots.
