New rumour suggests Samsung Galaxy S7 could have a microSD slot

There are two very outspoken camps when it comes to storage on smartphones – some people are fine with dealing without a microSD slot, and those that vehemently want one. There are technical and subjective reasons for and against, but ultimately it’s the decision of the manufacturer to include one or not – Samsung has recently decided not to have a microSD slot in its recent flagship devices (at least, not in the international versions) and it’s been somewhat of a sore point for some loyal customers. Luckily for these people, a new rumour has surfaced that suggests the Samsung Galaxy S7 could have a microSD slot.

There are very few major manufacturers who still include a microSD slot in their flagships – LG being the biggest. The reasons for removing the slot are relatively clear – microSD cards can be bought from many other manufacturers, whereas buying in-built storage is much more profitable for smartphone manufacturers. It’s almost impossible to estimate whether Samsung’s decision cost them any sales, and we have no idea if this rumour is true or not, but it will be interesting to see what happens if it is true.
