Here's something, we are living in a cloud-based world where we are connected on the line most of the times. Manufacturers thought we all should just put our stuff in the cloud and slide through with the idea of streaming live movies, streaming music, uploading all our photos and still get away with 8GB on our smartphones.
That's not entirely true. There's a tiny component of your phones that hate streaming and connecting all the time. It's called 'battery.' One of our complains is the lack of a full-day battery. It's been a disgrace over the years where phones just keep limiting the life of its full potential. Remember the phones that lasted a little over a week? Yes. That's virtually non-existing in the world of today.
We used to keep any media on our MicroSD and we played movies and music from them. The battery performed strikingly well on my smartphone. It lasted well over a day. It's because I didn't have to stream data over WiFi or LTE and ending up consuming my battery doing it.
These days MicroSD's are so small, and so cheap, that you could turn any phone into a 64GB variant for $20. However, they are sacrificed in the name of "thin-ness." Smartphones had a good thing going for a while there, and suddenly, it just stopped.
