No clue why companies aren't doing internal SSD yet in phones. The tech is already there in small form factor.
We have (a) microSD Express (used in switch 2) (b) miniSSD (used in Chinese handhelds such as gpd win 5, onexfly apex and more)
For me the biggest issue is speed. I've zero interest with a storage medium which is slower than downloading from WiFi onto internal storage. There's no point even backing up regularly if it's going to take 12 hours.
Unsure about encryption on microSD Express / miniSSD but I assume it's largely the same as a real SSD since they use the same underlying tech. If there is a limitation it's probably with how the android OS itself handles external encryption.
