Data recovery software on a computer is ineffective on internal storage.
But feel sorry for the person in the video from my last comment.

Good this phone does not have micro SD card slot in the 2020s, because micro SD card slots are useless which takes up additional space on motherboard. Just buy a USB type-C SD card reader, if you want to relive nostalgia of the good old days.

Kris17, 2 hours agoUFS4.0 memory is WAY faster than any SD card card out there... moreMicroSD is still fast enough for 8K video and can be ejected when your phone breaks.
This benefit is undeniable, even if the internal storage UFS was a thousand times faster.
When your phone breaks, you will wish you had your data on "dated" technology that you can eject and read externally.

HT, 3 hours agoMicroSD is abundantly fast enough for 8K video, much faster... moreUFS4.0 memory is WAY faster than any SD card card out there. There is heavy bottleneck on SD card when you transfer 8K videos through USB Type C. It would be a waste of these high-speed technologies because of your old SD card. Besides, most people have dead SD cards stuck in their phones due to data corruption while incorrectly formatting it. We don't have worry about those issues anymore.
SD card is considered a dated technology. UFS is more expensive of course, but with good reason. This is a flagship device. If you want SD card functionality, opt for a mid-range device. They don't go well together anymore.

Adding 1 mm of thickness would allow for far more battery space than the lack of the MicroSD card slot. And it does not subject your photo and video memories to the vulnerability of a broken phone.
Where "old technology" is less vulnerable to data loss, "old technology" is superior.
When your phone is broken and your data is inaccessible due to being stored internally, the last thing on your mind will be that millimetre of added thickness.

HT, 12 hours agoYou really enjoy losing your data, don't you?Cloud storages, internal storages. Way too much storage already available. No need for slow micro sd cards. Wasted space in tiny body. Slightly larger battery > micro sd, slight bigger camera sensor > micro sd, literaly anything inside tiny phone > micro sd. I rather have better vibration motor than micro sd. Ancient technology, use it only for dash cams and similar slow things

I'm just going by personal experience, having done both: for the micro SD card, put it in the laptop and drop/drag the files you want to the portable HDD or laptop's HDD. And similarly for the internal phone storage, attach the phone to the laptop using USB C to C cable and transfer the files the same way.
I would say it's exactly the same experience - but with micro SD card you have to take your phone case off and take the SD card out and put it in the laptop (which can be fiddly)... it's actually a lot easier with internal storage just to plug in a C to C cable 😄

It is known for being slow, laggy, and buggy. In comparison, mass storage is fast and smooth. MicroSD is accessed as mass storage device if connected to a computer.
Can you open a folder with 3000 files through MTP or does it freeze or give you some whiny "couldn't get object handles" error halfway through?

You simply can't beat the simplicity and versatility of swapping files through physical storage compared to cloud solutions and their UP/DL wait times.
