I appreciate your viewpoint here @Man from Baltimore
The best place to send your feedback is via your Samsung Members App.

No one likes the USB-C headphones, you know a lot of us love to listen to our music while the phone is charging, how about that? And using the USB-C headphones wears the charger port out faster, some phone you even have to go into your settings and constantly turn on OTG each time to even use that function. Or maybe we customers just want just use a normal set of high-end headphones universally between platforms that supports them and a cell should be one, every one doesn't like the wireless thing either, paying customers should have options.
No one wants to upgrade to what should be in a base model phone, don't make excuses for Samsung! At one time you one had one S model Galaxy, now there's three, Samsung has gone the way of Apple ๐, I'm not paying $1,200+ for a phone that could crash with my data stuck onboard when they could just put the SD slot back and you can just physically remove it. You have to purchase standard accessories that should come with your purchase, you can't defend this! The old Samsung was much better!
Samsung is famous for push it's UI, (I apologize for saying OS), on to it customers, first TouchWiz now Tizen, they need to scale โ๏ธ back some and all their phones to have a more android feel and no matter if you say "it's not going anywhere" if those sales drop enough oh it will because at the end of the day it's all about pleasing the customers and making money.
Another beef I have with Samsung is their audio systems are garbage ๐๏ธ. There's a lot of cheaper phones that are louder, and have much better speaker phones than Sammy's, some time Samsung speakerphone sound like you're underwater ๐ซง, I've own enough to know this. If I'm paying $700+ for a phone it needs to have great a audio systems with high volume! The speakerphone needs to be loud and clear on both ends for callers.
You may love the new direction Samsung has taken, but a lot of it's long time customers don't and me being one.

Personally I don't want to have to carry a monster sized device just so I can have 1TB storage on board.
I have an S10 right now with 128GB on board and 1TB high end micro SD. There absolutely is room. If they could swing it in the S10 they can do it in the S24. They just don't want to because upselling is that much more profitable via the Apple model.
I agree with the original poster, they used to claim to be "not Apple". They even made fun of the lack of features that they have since removed.
For me, it's either 1TB in a reasonably sized phone for a reasonable price or by my preference a micro SD card back.
Probably time to check our what Sony has to offer.

When I got my 1st Samsung it was the Droid Charge. It had a great camera, far better than all these extra lens. It had the headphone jacks, which I love because of the excessive amounts of hardware in my body ( Bluetooth is not good for this ) the battery lasted far longer, and I mean a good week talking hours each day to my mom. The SD slot was amazing once I realized that everytime there's a technical issue with the devices the phone or CSR would trash erase your memory. Now everybody wants to sell you clouds that will also delete you!
The person that posted, imo, just want a phone that does everything the way it used to and NOT all this upset nonsense they do. The whole reason I never went with Apple was because they had too much control on what you could do with your device. I don't need to pay over a thousand dollars for a phone that is basically NOT MINE and limits me.
512 mb use to take up an entire room and we sure know that is not the case. Samsung can continue shrinking components they way they have been while still allowing us the 35mm jack and the SD card....heck they should allow us a great camera again. As for the USB-C port being able to plug in earbuds, then what port would you have people charge their device?

I could live without the s pin for a SD slot

All the arguments are valid and it's the same thing everyone is know says about Samsung. Bixbi and no SD and no ir and no headphones jack. Guaranteed, if they just made a phone like that with. A chassie similar to the Galaxy S.Active and modern processor it would most likely ourself the current flagship. They hardly make different models anymore. It's all just different versions of the same phone. They need to make samsung great again go back to there roots.
