Whether you carry your media library with you, shoot a lot of 4K (or even 8K) video, or you’re looking to download a few movies ahead of a long commute, expandable storage is essential for a lot of users. Thankfully, even in 2020, you still have plenty of options available, ranging from the high end with endless features packed in, to budget options if you don’t want to spend upwards of $1,000 on a phone. These are the best Android phones<\/a> with expandable storage.<\/p>\n Staff Pick<\/p>\n The headphone jack may be dead in modern Samsung phones, but the microSD slot is alive and well in the Note 20 Ultra. You already get pretty sizeable storage internally, with options for 128GB or 512GB, but if even that’s not enough, you can add up to 1TB with a microSD card. You’ll also get a 6.9-inch 120Hz display, a 108MP primary camera, a telephoto with up to 50X zoom, and a 4500mAh battery.<\/p>\n $1,100 at Amazon<\/a> Samsung’s Galaxy S20 FE is perfect if you want a flagship-tier phone without paying a four-figure sum. Its 6.5-inch display may not sound small, but thanks to ultra-thin bezels, the phone is relatively compact by today’s standards. It also has most of the same specs and features as the Note 20 Ultra, with the same 4500mAh battery (though no 50X telephoto camera).<\/p>\n $600 at Amazon<\/a> The Xperia 1 II is an incredible device for media consumption. Not only does it shoot terrific-looking 4K video at up to 60fps, it even has a 4K display, allowing you to watch UHD content in its native resolution. The 21:9 aspect ratio is perfect for watching movies. Sony’s Cinema Pro app gives you outstanding manual video controls, including focus peaking, adjustable frame rates and resolutions, and various LUTs.<\/p>\n $1,098 at Amazon<\/a> The Motorola Edge is a fantastic “value flagship,” with a gorgeous 90Hz display and excellent battery life. Despite its low price, you get 5G support, along with a headphone jack, expandable storage, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and a stunning hardware design. The cameras aren’t as good as what you’ll find on higher-end devices (including Moto’s Edge+), but the Edge offers a lot of bang for your buck.<\/p>\n $500 at Amazon<\/a> Despite there being a newer model available, the 2020 Moto G Power is still an outstanding option for a fraction of the price of the competition, with a massive 5000mAh battery and 64GB of expandable storage. You get clean Android software with some nice Motorola touches, like Moto Actions for quickly launching the camera and flashlight.<\/p>\n $220 at Amazon<\/a> The Nokia 7.2 epitomizes HMD Global’s efforts as of late. The phone combines Nokia’s classic industrial design with robust hardware in the form of a Snapdragon 660 chipset, a 6.3-inch FHD+ display with always-on HDR, impressive rear cameras, and a microSD slot for up to 512GB of expandable storage.<\/p>\n $275 at Amazon<\/a> With more flagship phones moving away from expandable storage (and some brands like Huawei switching from microSD to their own standards<\/a>), you might think the format is becoming a dying breed, but don’t panic just yet. There are still plenty of great phones with microSD support, ranging from budget offerings to top-tier flagships.<\/p>\n If you want the absolute best of the best with expandable storage, look no further than the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra<\/a>. With this stunning phone, you get nearly every spec under the sun, including 5G support for any compatible U.S. carrier, and that gorgeous 6.9-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display coupled with stereo speakers is ideal for multimedia consumption. The camera array is also incredibly versatile, allowing you to get as close with the telephoto or as far away with the ultra-wide as you desire.<\/p>\n If you’re looking to spend a bit less, though, the Galaxy S20 FE<\/a> and Moto G Power<\/a> are also great options to consider. Both deliver performance well above their asking price, and the latter is one of the best cheap Android phones<\/a> you’ll find, expandable storage or otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Whether you carry your media library with you, shoot a lot of 4K (or even 8K) video, or you’re looking to download a few movies ahead of a long commute, expandable storage is essential for a lot of users.
