It is the OS version. Old version Android used to allow more things to be kept in SD card.

New Android version played too safe. Your huge SD card is mounted in /storage/3745-5340/ or some numbers like that.

Not very useful for the apps this way. Actually apps developers will know that to use SDcards you need to separately have a different PERMISSION & use different METHODS & PROPERTIES etc painful java codings very different from Internal storage. Some handphone brands will even require you to ROOT or HACK devices just to be able to break away from restrictions of using SDcards as certain storage functions.

So buying huge SDcards to make up for small internal memory sizes will be not very fruitful.

The security problems are coming from misuses and swapping out different SDcards repeatedly and hack or confuse the securities. So Android itself begin to play this Kiasu security & permission craps.

Another issue is Internal memory are much more faster access speed than SDcards. Some cheap cards are so unreliable.

U can save videos n music n photos direct to SD card...n that way it's easier to swap phones..faster access to phone memory...does it make a difference? The benefits Vs cost of getting a pH with huge memory?
