I got this phone in August and I absolutely love the galaxys capability and easy customization ive been using this exact line of phone since they were in the single digits. But it seems like the features i enjoyed most are going to the wayside. I relied so heavily on my SD card because I know how much cloud servers can damage the enviroment since you're basically storing everything on someone else's device that runs 24/7. Now these phones won't even allow you to feasibly own and manage the images you take without a third party(buying their cloud storage). Plus they added ads you can't turn off notifications for and even more unnecessary apps you can't delete. I think this is especially egregious since storage has to be rationed. I should be able to own the intellectual content I store on my phone without third parties getting involved for someone trying to sell me something.

I feel cloud is the future.
I haven't seen ads as such on my device as mine is direct from Samsung.
Most carriers are notorious for adding stuff and apps though.
Life is about choices and you should be able to back up to your pc if you don't like cloud storage.

O365 gives you 1TB of storage but don't use Galaxy Gallery to sync photos as if you delete from phone they go from cloud. Use OneDrive to backup.
If you use Lightroom you can get 1TB storage plans along with the software.
Google One becomes pricy for storage. For the cost for decent storage use O365 single or better family for 6TB storage.
If you have a PC and happy yo keep on 24/7 install Emby, get a lifetime licence and setup to upload your photos from phone to your own server. You can even have it so only uploads when at home meaning you Dan reduce power on time of pc.
You could also setup a shared folder on pc and install fx explorer on phone for free and use that to transfer photos to your pc.

Hypothetically speaking, if you're dealing with those Hi Res photos and videos you describe, it's pretty foolish to not consider a MUCH faster medium than SD Cards. It's clear you don't use these things or know the performance differences. If it were me, I'd either use a PC to do said work as would be both way more productive and frankly, cost effective. With all that said, you still ignore the fact that USB C is always an option, but stubborn believers in aging legacy hardware fail to let go. PCs have gone through many times such as these through hardware change over generations from the use of ISA Card slots, to PCI to AGP and PCI-E for GPUs. From P-ATA to S-ATA to M.2s and NvME or SIMMs to DIMMs to DDR1 through 5. Technology changes, as do standards. SD Cards are in the past (but not totally unavailable to you). Get with the times, technology has always moved at a fast pace.
