Big Galaxy S24 leak reveals Samsung's strategy against Google's Pixel phone (www.androidcentral.com)

Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

I have a large music collection and store them on various SD cards in addition to my usually hard drives. When I want to listen to music I pop it in my Sony phone and listen to them. I refuse to use music streaming apps. I've tried SoundCloud, Spotify, and Google Music and each one didn't have niche songs I enjoy. I Also there are various songs across various streaming services that I listen to but none all on the same service. I would rather own the files myself and put together my own comprehensive playlists. So I just pop it into my phone, enjoy the music I like, at no cost to me and I don't have to worry about my Internet service in various places that I work out of that are deep in a building and don't get any reception. I have lots of movie files and pornography that take up terrabytes. I need these on a Micro SD card because my phone's internal storage isn't large enough. I have another SD card with all my gba roms and saves that I can pop into my phone and play GBA games if I'm waiting around at the DMV, public spaces. Theen when I'm home I can pop that same SD card out with all my saves and roms and put it in my ez flash and play on my actual modded Game Boy Advance or into my modded a GameCube and play them without having to copy and paste save files, etc.
