Yea but what does this have to do ”whilst” trying to move apps to the SD card?!
I love my Galaxy S10 because it has an SD card slot and headphone jack. Samsung is really dropping the ball here by removing functionality that people need.
Exactly what I was thinking. I have a Galaxy S9. I was thinking about upgrading but may just go with the Galaxy S10. They really screwing up by removing the micro sd card slot. Having the micro sd card slot makes them stand out from apple.
Yeah their excuse for removing them eas because the majority of people dont use them... i dont remember there being a poll to ask people what they use and dont use but yeah... way to go Samsung!
Precisely agree. I want my sd card and 3.5mm jack.
It's rediclous that people have to resort to this why remove such a handy thing from a phone ive always used memory cards so much easier especially when you upgrade phones you just take your memory card out and pop it into your new phone and all your music and stuff is there were as now it's gunna be more of a drawn out process they clearly didn't think this through at all. While this is a handy little tool it's not practical this will eventually wear out your charging port
@J-Funk it's daft With technology and what's it's capable of we have stick flash drives in our charging ports they should at least off cloud storage that we can play out music on without having to download it the Songs before we can play them imagine how much data that would use of your out and about and want to download the songs you have on cloud
Samsung blew it , this is no substitute for an scard reader . No one can really walk around with this in theire phone. They eventually will cause damage to the port . S21ultra is a flagship, and no sdcard reader is unacceptable !. Thank u for posting this work around !
I agree 👍
Thanks will check it out 👍
That means you need to pay them to fix it! Exactly as planned 😢
Samsung removing that SD card support is practically a deal-breaker for me. I have several friends that have went with the Samsung forever and removal of that card made them go to different brands. I like your idea and thank you for posting this. Have you considered using a USB C cable going into the phone, then plug your necessary adapters to the end of that cable then you won't bump that fragile connection. If the cable was USB C male and the other end a USB a female then you should be able to remove one of the adapters making this a little less likely to bump your connection. Just a thought.
I just hate this, before I never had to worry about my storage, microSD was life saver for me but now I'm constantly compressing my files, deleting music and movies because I have no place to put my stuff and those adapters just make things much more difficult. I just want to put the microSD into my phone once and never worry about it anymore. This is just silly from Samsung and one way to earn more money with the other models with higher capacities.
They also took the headphone jack away 😢
Someone needs to make a case that plugs into the usbc port permanently and allows for sd cards to then be added as part of the design. But frankly not having sd card support on the phone itself is abhorrent. Mobile games are getting enormous and phones now shoot in 4k video and you give us 128gb lmao.
The worse part of this, there IS a company that makes sd add on cases... but NOT for the s21 ultra. Look up "i-blades case" They came a case for iphones ( of course ) and Pixel phones, other sammy phones, but they claim there was not enough people asking for s21 ultra to warrant a case release.
I ended up getting a samsung t7 drive when it was on sale and a very small usb cord. Then velcro'd the sucker to back of my case.
256 🤗
@@skyarsenallll out of stock everywhere for every Samsung model...
New games? Man my Whatsapp is 60+ gb i can get at max a couple of game whit it
S21 ultra films in 8k who's still filming in 4k💀💀💀💀
This is so helpful! I don't understand why Samsung got rid of the sd slot. I'm so happy I found your video!!!
Great advice! I definitely need extra storage space all the time! Thanks for this information!
Phoenix, Arizona USA 🇺🇸
No probs bro hey remember to like and share the video thanks 👍
S21 Ultra should've been 256 base storage. PERIOD. Samsung needs to bring back the SD card. 128gb isn't enough for flagship phones with 108MP.
And cost 1400.00 bucks or more. I just ran out of storage now looking for advice lol
excellent I've just ordered 2 samsung connecters and the other sd card connecter for my s21 ultra thanks to you. 👍
While this vid is nice and helpful, Samsung's removal of the microsd card slot is bonkers. Returned the s21 ultra and got the s20 ultra instead.
I was about to do that too....what Really Gets me Mad is how They Tried to "Justify" the Micro SD Card Not being used anymore! I'm Into Emulation & Games Are HUGE! This Takes SPACE!!! Just Trying to Bite & Be Like Apple! SUPER LOOSERS for doing this CRAP!!!!!!
This is why I do my research and never went for it even back in Jan, I knew S22 was coming, and it looks even better. The first time I buy a phone when it comes out, and high-end one.
Still no sd card on the s22 though
I agree with other commenters; a definite deal-breaker not having expandable storage. I'm about to get a new phone, and give me old-ish S-10+ to my wife. I almost didn't believe the info about the lack of this basic feature, apparently in the interests of speed. My current phone is still as fast as the day I got it, and really don't see why everything has to be lightning quick. Sometimes that 1/8th second lag saved me from doing something I would have regretted. I'll have to give the S-20 line a closer look...
I have three old Galaxy S6 active because I love that phone and really did not want to change. However they get slower and slower and slower so you eventually have to upgrade to a new phone(after all I went through three of them because of storage so they are from mini moons ago, lol).
With that set, the Galaxy S6 active also did not have expandable SD storage. This video that we just watched tells you exactly what you need to get which is less than $15 total and I have to say it's so worth it. The speed on this phone will blow your mind.
The main reason I didn't want to leave my Galaxy S6 active was because of the camera however the S21 ultra has a camera that will meet my expectations and even get you wet a little. 😂
The fact that you can expand your storage like he showed in this video means that there's an option and I would recommend this phone to anyone. The speed, all of the bells and whistles, it really is a damn good phone.
Sony make one with a microsd slot.
Thing is it doesn't have an in display fingerprint reader, has less features overall and costs £20 more a month on contract.
Because you get a headphone jack and uSD slot.
What a fucking joke. I'm taking my S10 to an independent repair place and just having a new USBC port soldered on as that's the only thing wrong with it.
Awsome tip& trick didn't think of this thanks for, sharing
I already thought of this
You're welcome
PNY makes a USB-C card reader for a single piece solution. Thanks for the inspiration. I probably won't move apps to it but this gives me a handy solution for playing movies when I'm out camping.
No probs hey remember to like and share the video thanks👍
You can unlock your developer options on your phone and then you will have the ability to force allow any app to be transfered to external storage. Super easy to do.
I should not have to go through all these with the amount of money I'm paying for S21 ultra.
hey, they try to make you buy a new phone later they don't want you to take this and then never buy a new phone, they want you to buy thier next phone to change the storage but honestly it's just annoying. they could have added a micro SD slot
They make really small USB hard drives that's a lot smaller than this one that you can plug into power port on your phone and pc and you don't need a SD card.
@@heirtothethrone000 where can I get one of these? What's it called? That's the only thing stopping me from upgrading my current phone s9+ with 256g+256c
@Flatline. Yeah lol. It's all good though, I got a note 20 and a 512g card so I got a little more storage than current and a built in pen. Good enough for me 🤘
Yeah I guess it was dumb of me to assume a 1000 dollar phone would have a fucking SD card slot or a charger or a headphone jack.. fucking Samsung becoming Apple
Glad I ran across this video. I’m going to try this with my Audible books. I currently use my iPod but I’ve had it for several years and now some books won’t play because my iPod can’t download the latest Audible version for iOS. I can’t find a MP3 player that compatible with Audible either and I just can’t afford to spend upwards of $300 again. That’s the one thing I hate about Apple. After a few years their devices are junk…even if they’re not “broken.”
Planned obsolescence lol apple is the master at this.
Someone should just make a phone case, that allows you to add storage, I think it would be kind of neat, would put your phone into it's phone case and be able to put in up to I don't know eight MicroSD cards, so you could possibly have 8 terabytes of space I guess the case would also have to have on board raid capabilities or something I don't know I'm not too knowledgeable on that stuff
Just go buy a Xiaomi or a Lenovo Legion Duel 2 or something that can add a sd card.. I was close to thinking of a S20 or 21 by watching this made me realise what a fook up samsung has made here
Seriously, they're trying to be like apple.
@@forteatwo and it's stupid
I wasn't going to get a new Samsung i thought my note 9 was still good enough until I got the s21 ultra at a unbelievable price 😅
What do u think of the s21 Ultra so far?
I don't think I will.
thank you for this vid! literally got an s21 ultra on contract today having not seen anything about the lack of sd card slot (im sure theres plenty of info out there but i just hadnt seen anything which im a little surprised about as i do think its a shame its gone and im sure lots of other people do too). found out by accident almost and was a little annoyed this hadnt come up when i mentioned i wasnt overly bothered i could only get the 128gb version earlier in the day. i had a note 10+ so thankfully have this little adapter so can use that for shifting stuff onto a micro sd. great help, great work around and yeah shouldnt have to do this but 'progress' right?
No probs hey remember to like and share the video thanks 👍
That was a deal breaker for me. The space/sd card slot is the biggest issue. I got note 20.
same here. i have to go to note 20 because of this.
My issue but now I can't find a note 20 anywhere
So initially, it was a deal breaker for me to not have expandable storage, but then it hit me that all I need is a USB-C flash drive that attaches to my Keychain, and I always have them with me anyways. It's quite convenient to pop it in and move things over.
It, also, wears your charging port out quicker.
So glad I checked this out before purchasing the S21, Why would they remove the SD card reader?!!! Its not practical for me to use this holder smh
Literally just buy an SD reader that has a USB C on the end.
literally just use an USB memory stick
Could u give more details of this? Pls
It's a shame Samsung removed the micro sd slot, they are getting the worse of iPhone and copying 🤡 I needed it to backup my videos and photos
We need a boffin to create a battery case with an SD card slot.
Hunted on the net but no luck
Nice video. The fact Samsung doesn't let you use a micro-sd card internally like with other smartphones even older Samsung models is stupid. If your gonna have to spend 1k+ on a High-End Smart phone it better be able to do anything and everything to give you the best value for your money. Those two adapters do add bulk to the phone. If the ports were to be on the top - where they should be so the functionally of the phone would be at it's best then using the adapters shown here wouldn't be as a big deal.
looks like im ganna be stuck with Samsung Galaxy note S20 Ultra 5G for many many years until they fix this issue.....
Can I ask what the little cable is for on the Micro usb card reader is for?
For $8 Amazon has a type c micro SD 3.0 card reader that's very small
Thanks for the feed back I will check it out👍
Thank you so much brother 🥰
Damn who would have thought that we can still add an sd card wow here u can have my like bro your a genius thanks👍
I already thought of this
Awesome video. Definitely a great tip on doing the dismount. That was the part I couldn’t figure out. Brain 🥶 freeze I guess lol
Shaky multi linked dongle to the S21 USB C slot... "Not that bulky"...
I have a better solution. Buy a phone with a proper micro sd card expansion slot, like the Xperia series, and save all these hassles. And if you do get the Xperia, you get snapdragon in exynos region, and gain the headphone jack for use with iems.
Good video thanks love this🤩
good video nice usefull tip there bruv
do I need to use the same USB connector and USB card reader as yours? I don't see any advanced settings for storage, there was no 3 dots
From America Thanks brother
I do not really play games in my phone. But I feel like an SD card would help compress all of my files in my phone. Since I am getting a galaxy s21 ultra 5g, I will definitely need an SD card despite the phone lacking the feature.
Don't know what Samsung think about customers? No slot for memory card and S Pen. This is a most bad idea. A Samsung user and lover.
Android Doctor.....thank you for this and your many useful videos. I have s21 Ultra and purchased the 256gb but since the new Android 12 update, I've had a lot of issues. Some have been fixed with a couple patch updates........my main question is System Storage.....it says I have used up 6.9 of 6.9....99% full. I have wiped cache partition and used some clean up apps. Is there a way to free up my System Storage without causing issues? Keyboard freezes or lagging is my main issue now. Thanks.
Bro Android 12 is a mess I solved all my issues by downgrading back to Android 11 best decision ever
@Android Doctor u are right.....it is a mess. If not one thing its another. I hate having to repeat things like organizing photos then an update puts all photos in "Downloads" fold...smh. Thnx again
No probs hey remember to.like and share the video thanks👍
Most useful video ive seen. Thanks.
No probs hey remember to like and share the video thanks👍
You can also use the G-USB cord and plug it into your desktop or laptop, to download videos, photos and other files that are not needed on the go.
Good video. But Samsung have let us down by not having s d . something that's been standard for years.
Will this process work for transferring pictures/videos from my S10plus SD card onto the s21 ultra?
I'm quite bummed Samsung have not included the SD card slot with the s21, as all my important stuff I always saved to my SD card 😖
Feel free to try it
Woow i am glad that my Note 8 have SD card slot.
Isn't it the same, to use directly a USB-C stick ,without a SD Card adapter (easy & small at your bunch of keys)?
Dang didn't know until now it didn't have expandable. This is a nice workaround but kind of defeats the purpose
at this point just get a removeable usb drive. Samsung took a major L on this one. How expensive can it be to add Microsd slot. oh yeah you wanted to force your customers into over priced onboard storage so you did that by making removeable not possible. shame.
i hate this ... why samsung remove sd slot? ... i have a 200 gb sd whit all my data and s21 plus .. just why
My sd card already recognized by the phone but i dont have the option to change storage, any suggestions?
Hmmm🤔 not every app will have the option to change
How did you do it
I'm trying to transfer call of duty and it says not enough storage when I press move
thanks didnt know about this
Thank you for this!!!!💓
I have an esim , can i use a micro sd card in place of a physical sd card for extra storage?
Totally dupped. Can't believe I paid over a thousand in cash for a device that is completely full after 5 months. Ugghh, now I gotta play MacGyver to put something together and where's Waldo after that to keep ahold of my data. 🙄😒 So much for the top of line, best of the best commercials. 👌 Incredible camera whoops no storage slot.
It better to buy S20 Ultra
You need to create a phone case with some sort of sd slot connected with a way to charge the phone as well.
Great tutorial sir!
They need to design a phone case that does this.
Ty man from America
No probs hey remember to like and share the video thanks 👍
😎 note 9📱 playing this video right now with its 512gb internal and 512gb expendable memory 💪🏽🤪.
Note 9 those were the good old days😁👍
Just purchased a s21 plus and now returning it bc of the lack of storage space smfh
Lol i dont even need so much space for a phone
You don't use your phone past normie usage then. I have a 1tb micro sd and 512 gb on my note 10+. So im considering this, even though it isn't aesthetically pleasing. And if you happen to lose that micro sd card or like me planning on storing your thousands of mp3 files on it to listen to you'd have to be really careful that it doesnt get unplugged and fall out.
@@Xelimos to play pubg
I use my sd card for moving purposes and rooting purposes what I mean is I install custom roms on the sd card and flash it using twrp.
Someone is going to design a way to integrate that setup into a protective case, so its not bulging out the bottom much like a mophie battery case.
So can I transfer my music from my micro SD card to my phone with these 2 devices?
Yes
There is a easier way. They make really small USB type C hard drives that will plug into your phone. It also has a regular USB plug so you can use on you PC as well.
@Android Doctor question I just got this s21+ I cannot get any files to play or copy from my USB, the s21 can send a MP3 to the USB stick then won't play it or let me copy the file back to the phone. Am I missing some stupid setting somewhere??
I am trying to follow your instructions but when i clicked on storage on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, I have ot got the three dots to take me into the advanced options.
How do i use the files to sd card which is on the phone as an app?
Can you show us that way as well, please?
I tried following your instructions on other apps I have on the phone but I dont think it was working.
I would appreciate help.
I cannot find the unmount card either in notifications

Hi, what if you dont have a PC and you want to put Spotify songs on to microSD? I have not downloaded any songs at all but I have a new speaker that takes microSD and ideas like to get some songs off my Spotify and download them, which I believe will store on my phone. How will I get them on to microSD please, is it possible? Thnx
why not just buy the sandisk memory stick with usb-c?
no need for memory card reader and small enough
Bloody hell. Samsung follow iPhone footstep in removing internal sd
I was expecting an aftermarket sim tray, this is not practical at all lmao 😂 😂
Will a USB 3.0 Micro SD Card Reader work also?
U can try it
@@TheRealAndroidDoctor okay I will. 👌
@Flatline. thanks, I will.
A so-called "flagship" phone should have MORE features not less. Linux phones can't arrive fast enough to offer serious users something better than these fashion appliances for thots. Fortunately my S9+ is good for many more years since phones have evolved, like computers, to where more performance has little impact except for gamers.
If you dont already have a micro sd card. I would rather get a usb c dual drive.
Yes that can work too
amazing!!! Thanks! 👍👍👍
No probs hey remember to like & share the video thanks 👍
sure!! ^^
Did you misspeak? You said that you got a Micro SD Card reader. With an SD card reader you won't be able to take advantage of the storage on the SD card, except to load it onto you phone. Is that why you don't actually transfer anything to the card? I mean, even just some photos would be proof of concept. Last time I went looking for USB to SD adapter, there was nothing that wrote to the SD Card, only readers.
I'll just transfer videos to my computer ,when phone is full .
Hi, have you bought a ncard ( or a nanosd flashcard) from huawei or lexar to try if samsung reads that? I'm just curious as i looked into those just recently and wondered if it would be worth it.
So if you transfer files like game files to an external memory card. Does it have to be connected in order to play the game? and also, when the game needs updating, does it normally update just?
Yes it needs to be connected and to update just transfer them bk over
Thank you 👍
A more fantastic way is to plug in a 4tb hardrive with a usb C. I transfer all 4k video and apps. 4 TB should be enough.
Can I transfer all of my pictures?
Yes
I wasn't aware that the S21+ i just bought has no SD card slot. That sucks.
They used to make cases with an sd card slot for iphones, but they stopped making them. I think they should start making them again.
How does this work for apps like tiktok that the app itself is small but you can have 4 gb of video.
Can you move the data of the app to the card and then keep the app on the phone?
Great video. But who didn't know this?
Believe it or not but alot of new Android users don't know about this👍
Well I didn't know the damn phone didn't have an sd port.. but I already pay over a thousand to find out I can't save all my fav porn on an sd card to save my phones space... FUCK!!
Me
I did not know Samsung stopped putting in the sd-card slot in their photos. The main reason for buying Samsung is extra storage space .
I love how he says call of duty.
Thanks!
Thank u
I got an sd/microsd to usb-c adapter for this purpose, and instead of reading it as storage, the phone says it's charging another device. No idea what's going on or how to fix it.
about to get a different phone this storage to or having to pay extra is BS!!!! liked my older phone better my s7 did have the SD card slit for more storage Samsung is trying to bilk more money out of people the economy is already bad as it is
I was able to add more storage to my Samsung Galaxy S7 by placing the micro SD card in the same slot next to the SIM card. Don't tell me that it won't be possible to do that in the latest Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and that I will need to get a device to attach to my phone and then install the Micro SD card. There was no need for me to do that with my Samsung Galaxy S7 that I purchased back in 2016. It doesn't make sense if Samsung manufactured a phone 5 years later with no slot to place a Micro SD card.
Unfortunately your fears are correct. No room for micro SD’s.
That's why they don't make new versions now. They fucked up bad. Such a shame!
@@frankrizzo9062 Yes, they fucked up really bad and if they don't bring back the slot for the Micro SD Card for additional memory in their future cell phones then I will no longer buy Samsung cell phones. I think that was a very stupid move by Samsung to eliminate the slot for Micro SD cards on the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra. Whoever came with that idea in the Samsung corporation should be fired immediately as well as those who went along with it.
How is OTG different to this devise you have
What happens when a game needs to update ( it will go back to the storage ) ?
Update the game then move it to storage bro
And here I am, with a useless micro sd card I just bought for no reason 🙄
I have just returned my s22 ultra as soon as I have received it when I learned that there was no expansion slot. BS Samsung. You guys are instead moving backwards !
I formatted the SD card on my phone to move the photos to it but my new MacBook won't open it. GALAXY S21 SUCKS, I hate you Samsung! And the instructions here don't match my screen information
Thanks 😜👍
No probs hey remember to like and share the video thanks 👍
Question: I'll be using this method to move files over to an SD Card. Previously, I had an issue with doing this on my Galaxy 8 Plus. I'd move apps over to the SD card using this method; however, when I checked my apps later, many of them had moved back to the Internal Storage of their own accord. Any thoughts on this issue? Thank you for all your help! It's much appreciated!
Well I can say I haven't faced that issue all my apps have remained on the SD card also my 8k recorded videos & music👍
@@TheRealAndroidDoctor Thank you for answering. I'll see how it goes with my new S21. 🙂
That's as clumsy as hell plus there's no way to get power to your device which means that very quickly you'll have a flat battery.
We've been shafted by Samsung and as a long time customer any other brand out there that's still got the ability to use a plug in headphone or will allow you to insert a micro sd card will get my business.
Hahahaha. The take away, not buying this phone now. I was almost sold
Samsung and TMobile can't tell me this does it work with the S21 plus to been at this all week since was out of storage and joined Drive One they are horrible
Drive One is a nightmare
Can u do the apposite? I want my files from my SD card in my s22ultra I just bought. I try doing it in the computer with drag and drop but I won't do anything. Thank you
It should be able to work
@@TheRealAndroidDoctor thank you
