Google is killing off micro SD cards
|
Like it or not, micro SD cards and Android devices have a very close relationship. Even in today's unibody design, Sony, Samsung and other manufacturers still retain the micro SD card slot, but many consumers think that this will destroy the overall coordination of the body. It is worth mentioning that as a core role in the Android ecosystem, Google does not seem to be optimistic about the development prospects of micro SD cards in the field of smartphones. You should know that Google's first smartphone, Nexus One, is also the only Nexus smartphone with a micro SD card slot. Not only that, in order to further "de-micro SD card", Google also cancelled the support for Apps2SD in Android Jelly Bean, which means that users are not allowed to install software to micro SD in principle after this. However, perhaps because they think Google's approach is too direct, OEM manufacturers such as Samsung still add support for Apps2SD in their products. Although it is not appropriate to describe it as "the higher the road, the higher the devil", Google continues to restrict the permissions of micro SD cards in Android 4.4 KitKat, and even partially prevents applications from interacting with the contents of micro SD cards. In fact, Google is not unreasonable to do so. Micro SD capacity expansion will cause many problems, such as security risks and troubles for multiple system accounts. Since the software is installed in the micro SD card, it is easy to have file errors when using accounts with different permissions, and even cause application crashes or data loss. Although Google wants to gradually remove Android's dependence on micro SD cards, most consumers still think that micro SD card capacity expansion is a more practical function. After all, with the significant increase in the amount of data in applications, photos, videos and other content, 16GB of body storage space is obviously not enough. On the other hand, although 32GB or even 64GB versions of smartphones meet users' requirements for transmission speed and data volume at the same time, the price is relatively expensive. At present, the price difference between 16GB and 32GB versions of smartphones is basically several hundred yuan, so micro SD cards are obviously a cheaper solution. So why don't users like to use cloud services? First of all, 4G high-speed networks have not been fully popularized. If the transmission speed cannot keep up, then it is useless to store more data in the cloud. Secondly, in addition to the limited transmission speed, operator traffic also plays a very important role in cloud services. Think about the expensive traffic fees in China! To sum up, although micro SD cards are not the most ideal capacity expansion solution at present, they are the most cost-effective for consumers. This situation may not change until OEM manufacturers develop cheap built-in storage solutions, which is obviously difficult to achieve in the short term.
