Now that 128GB is here, Android needs to re-evaluate microSD cards

Posted on April 7, 2014 by Joe Levi

Back in the early “two point something” versions of Android, most smartphones came with microsd card slots. Sure, cards were a lot smaller back then — around 8GB or so. This was enough for us to store some music on, and even to install apps onto. We really needed that space, too. Smartphones themselves didn’t include all that much on-board storage — the Nexus One only included 4GB, and much of that was occupied by the operating system and core apps. Since then, our phones have gotten faster and have at least doubled their internal storage. Modern flagships ...

Do you go with the phone with the best camera, or the one running a platform with the better social apps, making it easier to share your pics? Last week, Pocketnow’s Taylor Martin was sizing-up another issue that all too often has us making compromises: storage. He rightly

TLDR: I can get a 64GB microsd card for under $50, so why are 64GB smartphones so expensive?

Posted on September 23, 2013 by Joe Levi

Before the iPhone was born, everyone wanted an iPod. Back then you could carry around your entire music collection with you. Today, times have changed. MP3s have gotten larger and higher-quality, and individual songs are now easier to find and much easier to download. Taken together, the size of our music libraries has increased significantly since the “good ol’ days” of the original iPod. Luckily, iPods have improved as well, but now most of us use our smartphones to do that which our iPods used to. Interestingly, a good deal of smartphones still come with only 8GB or ...

And that’s all fine and good if you choose to not explore the full capabilities of your phone. Recently, the Pocketnow staff
