    honestly just get whatever phone and buy a proper digital camera, you’ll save money. i did this with music, cancelled spotify, got an mp3 player, now i dont really care whether my phone has a headphone jack for my iems.

      My reason would be: I don’t want to carry multiple devices around. Sure, there are also upsides; if I drop my camera while hiking I still have a phone. But so far I am happier with everything on this single point of failure. Often I don’t need anything besides my phone at all. I can communicate, navigate, film, photograph, listen to music, pay, and soon even identify myself (once my ID and drivers license are in a digital wallet).

        Same here. Add car key and house key as well.

        I still carry my wallet around, but just as a backup, I don’t take it out of my pocket all day long.

      I already have a full frame DSLR but the phone camera is usually up there for any purpose I take pictures for, not to mention the massive zoom range. Unlike the big, bulky camera I actually have the phone with me all the time.

      I suggest the opposite: spend the money on one device instead of 2. I was also at the exact position of the other person with the S20 being the last galaxy with SD. Sucks that they squeeze users so much and they just take it.
