Comment on iPhone guy wondering how you guys manage your gallery!
cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days agoI always thought Apple (Mac? The whole ecosystem?) had image tagging, but other than the coloured folders you can make (and have been able to do since the 90s) I haven’t really seen it. At this point I have too many images to tag. The tagging system would be better since I have images in multiple albums, so tags seem more appropriate a feature, especially when you’re dealing with more direct files/folders like in Android (whereas I’m sure my albums in iOS are just virtual folders, or they might as well be tags).
I can’t do SD cards though. I get it. I used to do SD cards. They’re so slow. At one point Samsung was talking about doing a new SD card format that would introduce higher speeds. But I get it, being able to move everything from one system to another makes sense, at least if it’s the same brand. When I was on Android, I’d go to a different OEM each time. Samsung to Motorola to Samsung again and then lastly to HTC. (I switched before the Pixel was a thing. Sadly I missed that boat, Pixel 1 was pretty cool at the time. It was like “here’s an iPhone but better in every way.” Good times.)

Out of curiosity what do you find slow in SD cards? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a delay when taking photos/videos and watching a movie in HD directly from the SD card is also fine. It’s slower when moving stuff around but that’s not something that needs to happen immediately.

No, SD access is fine. I have one in my Switch and I think Skyrim is running off of it. That’s wild! Yes, I mainly mean the data transfer speeds. They’re slow and don’t need to be.
I put HD/4K movies on my phone over WiFi and the speeds are incredible. SD cards could never. Ii is a shame so many new Android phones are leaving the card slots out, especially the expensive ones, and they should be replacing them with a new standard. I think the new Express cards the Switch 2 uses are faster. I’d almost rather use a flash drive or portable SSD — I got a 2TB Samsung T7 a couple years ago for about $120. Strap that to the back of a phone. (Even iPhone can do that now!)

I see, it’s not a deal breaker for me but it makes sense if you transfer files very often.
