Internal storage is faster and more reliable Still, SD cards are still fine for storing large amounts of photos, videos, and music. And as a proud father of a 1.5 year old, I like to stash a lot of photos/videos on my phone. their user experience has always been terrible. The other obvious reason is that phone manufacturers like to overcharge on extra storage. I think you're always going to see more and more phones, especially flagships, not offer expandable options. Not everyone is moving in that direction. E.g. the new Moto Xs support SD cards, while the previous generations didn't.
