Nonetheless, keep in mind that all of them need internet access and you cannot always stay in ideal places with strong Wi-Fi to get your files downloaded or uploaded fast. But, microSD card is different; it does not requires stable Internet connection to work properly; it\u00a0is accessible all the time and in all places.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14011 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/smartphone-wifi-e1450257836681.jpg\" alt=\"smartphone-wifi\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"nolinks\">2. &#8230; is way more affordable than Cloud service.<\/h4>\n<p>One of the best things about microSD cards is their prices. Usually they are\u00a0cheap, especially cheaper\u00a0than the cost of cloud services, and able to be used for years. Moreover, as technology is developing a lot, microSD cards such as 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB ones also become so common and obviously, their\u00a0prices are dropped rapidly. On the other hand, a whopping 200GB card may be expensive now, yet we are pretty sure it will be more affordable in\u00a0the near future.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14012 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/5-great-smartphones-you-can-get-for-under-300-unlocked-e1450257995663.jpg\" alt=\"5-great-smartphones-you-can-get-for-under-300-unlocked\" width=\"446\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"nolinks\">3. &#8230; helps expand the storage a lot.<\/h4>\n<p>Usually a smartphone will be released with different options in terms of ROM like 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. And usually, price will increase as the capacity increases. It will be a difficult situation when you want to store lots of things, but budget does not allow you to get a 64GB or 128GB version and the machine&#8217;s storage is just not expandable. Wow, it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re stuck. That is where a device containing a microSD card will be a better solution. Even if you use all the card,\u00a0you can\u00a0buy a second one and swap them if you need.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14010 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/AndroidMicroSD-Samsung-MicroSD-e1450258011951.png\" alt=\"AndroidMicroSD-Samsung-MicroSD-e1445428914849\" width=\"382\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"nolinks\">4. &#8230; is not easy to be stolen.<\/h4>\n<p>More and more people&#8217;s passwords for the Cloud services are leaked and the result is that all the photos, documents,\u00a0data, etc. are taken and used without the owners&#8217; intention.
