That really isn’t much of a positive note if you have a lot of data. You are forced to buy the higher tier storage if that’s even available to you.
Xiaomi is phasing it out as well
Unfortunately most android phones are slowly phasing away the SD card slot. The only flagship that still supports it is Sony with their Xperia. I don’t know of any major mid-rangers models that still support it. The only low end phones now. But the overall experience is painful.
They mainly make telecom equipment. Also the modern Nokia phones are made by a company called hmd global. Not Nokia proper.
Again even Motorola is phasing out micro SD card. Anything above 300ish.
