    [Concept screenshot] Memory card mass storage access options

    This is a custom-made screenshot of how I would image mass storage be implemented.

    Mass storage access to the internal storage was originally possible on many devices, but these days, would be impractical due to file system incompatibility, encryption, interference with system architecture, and more.

    But pass-through mass storage access only to the memory card is far more realistic, regarding that memory cards (portable storage) usually use a widely supported file system. It would just need to unmount the memory card, and mount back again after finishing.

    I imagine how this would facilitate file transfers to the computer. For users who are unsure, the read-only mode can be used, which would make it act like an SD card reader which obeys the write protect switch.

    Mass storage access could also be used for USB Hi-Fi systems, as many lack support for MTP, and searching through files with mass storage is significantly faster.

    How old is your phone?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2021 06:49 AM PST

    I know most android enthusiast in this sub often goes for the newest phones out there, but i am here to impose a question.

    A colleague of mine still rocking a Samsung Note 2, the Exynos non LTE version, which is almost ancient by today's definition. He used his phone mostly for social media, messaging apps, no games and barely use the camera. Even though the phone might run slow and got hot sometimes he said he's happy with it. The only reason he is buying a new phone later is because his carrier is shutting down 3G/HSPDA service at the end of the year.

    So redditors of r/android who's still daily driving an old phone, let us know what phone it and what's stopping you from upgrading to something else? I'm actually intrigued
