[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;46500955]Re-read my post, thats literally my entire point. A cheap burn-phone from a prepaid service has micro-SD card slots, and the Nexus doesn't? Thats complete bull shit. Theres $9 track phones you can buy that aren't even smart phones and they have micro-SD's in them.[/QUOTE]
Then don't buy a Nexus device, there are plenty others that will fit your microSD card needs.
Also, my response was to what you wrote in your post:
[QUOTE]You can't add a micro-sd on a non-apple phone in 2014 still?[/QUOTE]
That gave the impression that you think all non-apple phones don't have microSD card slots.
There are high, mid and low end phones with and without microSD card slots. Pick the one that fits your needs. Problem solved.
If you're bitching that all phones should have microSD card slots, then there is always the cost and design factors the phone makers have to think about. Also the software related things, Google litterally crippled the microSD card slot compatibility in recent versions of Android, then kinda back pedalled.

I like microSD slots - it would seem that a big reason they pushed it out was to get more people to utilize cloud storage, without realizing that outside of the US a lot of data plans are absolute shit.
I got a Lumia 1520 exactly because it had three things I needed - MicroSD card slot, a ridiculous battery life (I'm talking 2 days on a single charge with moderate to heavy use, not to mention that the Battery Saver feature stretches the battery even more) and a 6 inch screen because I just wanted to see the results of any pictures I took on a bigger screen than most phones out there).
I like this Nexus 6 and am planning to get one simply to tool around with and compare with my existing phone because it looks interesting.
[QUOTE=garychencool;46500945]Plenty of Android phones have microSD card slots, you're just not looking at all of them.
To name a few:
Samsung Galaxy Note series, S5
Sony Xperia phone series in general, they all have the slot
LG G2, G3
and many more.
Google just doesn't like microSD cards and I can understand some of the reasoning behind it.[/QUOTE]
Uhhh. My G2 doesn't have an SD card slot.
To be fair, I understand why Google doesn't like SD Cards. Nexus devices are the ideal developer phones and for Android enthusiasts. They're not fans because people don't know how to use SD storage properly. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the "my photos were on my SD Card but my downloads from MMS aren't on here too" story.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard the "I changed SD cards and now *insert app* doesn't work (due to the lack of resources that are required to run the thing)". Then again, people who were buying Nexus devices weren't the average consumers. They didn't have an excuse with the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 and arguably the Nexus 5 but now that's on every carrier in the world? I totally understand why.
