With the Galaxy S20 going official today, all of the questions that Samsung fans had about the new devices have been answered. Many have been wondering if any one of the three new models have dropped the microSD card slot.

That’s because there were rumors several weeks ago which suggested that this could be possible. It’s time to rest easy because yes, the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra all have a microSD slot.

Samsung hasn’t removed the microSD slot on the Galaxy S20

Many of the company’s fans are still not happy with its decision to remove the headphone jack from its flagships. This was bound to happen for the Galaxy S20 even though the Galaxy S10 kept the jack. Samsung has indeed removed it from the new flagship series and there’s a solid chance that it’s never coming back.

Removing the microSD card slot would have invited a lot of criticism. Samsung would remember the feedback that it got when it made the same decision for the Galaxy S6 back in the day. It brought back the microSD slot the very next year and it has been a permanent fixture of the flagship lineup ever since.

Truth be told, there were never any conclusive reports to suggest that Samsung had even considered removing the microSD card slot from the Galaxy S20 lineup in the first place. It was just an unconfirmed rumor which led some to believe that this might happen.

All three models have at least 128GB of storage, and while it’s more than enough for most users, it’s not nearly enough for others. It’s not difficult to fill up 128GB of storage, not all of which is accessible by the way, with videos, photos, apps, games and other multimedia content. It’s always great to have that peace of mind that you can expand your Galaxy S20’s storage up to 1TB with a microSD card should you ever need to.
