And if the phone ever goes faulty and has to have its software "reloaded" I could lose precious video or photos. (although I realise sd cards can go faulty too, ive never had one yet)
The inability to upgrade the memory on my phone is one avenue im not willing to close off...lets see what the Galaxy S3 comes up with.”
Since its not possible to use a micro sd card larger than 32GB. I dont see how you would end up with more storage space. Your current phone has a 16GB micro sd card (I am assuming its not 16GB of internal memory). You could replace it with a 32GB micro sd card. You cant add any more storage than this. 32GB is the ceiling with the current software. Its not an avenue you have control over, 32GB is a software limit. Just because a phone has a micro sd card slot, does not mean you can stick a 64GB micro sd card into and and get 64GB of space.
I would have preferred to have an external sd card slot, but since you cant add more than 32GB, whats the real need? If however the HTC one came with 16GB of storage space and no sd card slot...that I would have a problem with.
Storing videos and photos on a phone is never a good idea. However there is always a chance with electronics it can go faulty, nothing we can do about that.
Even if the S3 does have a SD card slot, it wont accommodate more than 32GB.
