The assumptions you have to make to arrive at the conclusion that Samsung doesn't put SD card slots in their phones so that people buy cloud storage from Microsoft seem a little excessive.

It is excessive because that's not what I said. It's what you're saying.

  Well, what are you implying in your post then?

    I'm implying exactly what I just said before. Google and Microsoft (and Dropbox at one point) are partners of Samsung, so Samsung got paid by them to feature their products preinstalled on their phones and push certain promotions with their phones(free 1TB of cloud storage for one year or something like that). So it stands to reason that if Samsung were to offer crazy amount of NAND storage out of the box, then then their partners in the cloud business would not be very happy, now would they? Not that it's the main reason why they're not incentivized to put lot of NAND by default, but these partnerships can't help either. I'm just explaining putting 2+2 together here guys, as I though the implication was obvious to everyone.

      I'm so freaking confused. The person you replied to said this exact same thing, but you called them out on it. And when I pressed you on that point.....you just repeated what they said? Eh?

        >I'm so freaking confused. I already explained my thought process as best I can. I don't know what more to do. >The person you replied to said this exact same thing They didn't say the same thing, to my understanding. Maybe language barrier and cultural differences mean there's a confusion here.

        Unclad5968 said what you said. You claim Samsung keeps sd cards off phones because they are motivated to by partners. Unclad said "it seems excessive to think Samsung is doing keeping sd cards off phones because of partners". You and they disagree, but he stated your position accurately I believe.

        No, I think I was right to disagree. He said Samsung doesn't put larger storage to sell Microsoft cloud storage. I said that's false because Samsung doesn't put larger storage for mainly other reasons, but if they did put larger storage, then it would be a conflict of interest with their cloud storage partners, so they have an extra incentive to stick to this, but it's not the main one like (I understand) he claimed.
