Good evening everyone 

 
I just want to make sure that I am doing the proper research. Are the rumors correct that the micro SD card and Samsung Pay are no longer being offered. If so, I'm so devastated.

There is no longer support for internal removable media.  Samsung Pay is still there but only though NFC, not MFT.

That's heartbreaking especially with all the music, videos and pictures that I utilize. πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί

Lets put great big cameras in a phone which use more data to save the pictures and videos.  Then some apple user in Samsungs design department says, Yes, lets do that, and I have a great idea, let's also do away with the SD card slot, my apple doesn't have one.  Come on this is a $900 to $1340 phone.  The latter if you get the 512 gig.  I would rather put the extra $170 into a very large SD card and not have to worry about my storage.  You didn't learn anything with the S6???

Dont forget. Let's also implement a monthly/yearly data cap and charge for storage fees on cloud services for any high resolution images and videos to run concurrent with these new changes

No MicroSD slot, no wall adapter, and I just found out no MST on Samsung pay so NFC only now. πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€:male_sign: why remove features that are loved and no one asked to be removed? I am so disappointed in Samsung

I agree. I dont know who told Samsung that NFC is widely used in the U.S. but that statement is a lie. Its almost as if Samsung is trying to be second or third best instead of the best smartphone maker. no MST is a deal breaker for me. I use it all the time.

@Tyndall_effect  That is my understanding of NFC deployment as well but has there been an outcry from Galaxy watch users about this or is it possible that Samsung Pay is just not very popular in the US??
