I want Samsung to bring SD card slots back to their premium phones.

I refused to stop using my Galaxy S20 Ultra until there’s a better option with expandable storage.
You know full well by now that when mega-corp enshittification begins, its only path is further and further downhill.

I 'member when SGSII had the better Exynos chips even in US models which was almost unheard of its its era, and that phone hauled major ass. And then S5 added water resistance without sacrificing removable battery. And after that, Sammy became a steady shitshow going downhill.

I've looked at Sony phones, but I'm so damn used to the Samsung OS. Do the Sony phones perform well?

Given helluva limited XDA support, honestly, if you're not married til death do you apart to slim form factor and dedicated camera shutter button (and 3.5 jack, microSD slot) - I'd kinda skip em in favor of something with better custom rom support. What Sony does offer unlike most others is unlocking the bootloader so long as your model isn't from Japanazi of UnitedStatesofAsshole telecom companies markets who strictly prohibit bootloader unlocking to push their bloat shit.
