Poll results: How important is the availability of a microSD card slot to you when buying a smartphone?

It should come as no surprise that a clear majority (51.62% of all votes, to be exact) considers the ability to expand upon built-in storage "a must-have". This makes sense – if you're anything approaching a power user, you may very well need that, especially if you're not willing to pay an outrageous sum extra for some more storage on top. Perhaps as problematic, however, is the fact that not all devices on the market have models with more than 32 gigs of storage, in which case it's understandable that photography buffs and heavy multimedia users would require a microSD card.

As for the remaining votes, 36.89% are attributed to people who view the slot as an important addition, but not a deal breaker (makes sense, given the ubiquity of cloud storage nowadays), and 11.49% of them were cast by people who consider the matter unimportant. See for yourself:
