Dec 29, 2017 at 11:43 comment added JosephK "apps cannot be moved to it..." Exactly, so the phone runs out of space almost instantly, making it worthless. But it's so slow with this version of Android, it's not far from worthless right out of the box. I suppose saying, "Comes with new Android" (keeping up with the Jones's) sells more phones than, "Doesn't hang for a long time when you do something." The best workaround we found was to disable all the Google-ware that came on it, which helped a lot (those, auto-updated, had it full without any "actually desired software" installed).
Dec 18, 2017 at 20:26 comment added acejavelin @JosephK Depends on the specific device, there is no blanket answer, but in general OEMs do not support downgrading. You do not have to adopt the SD card, when you insert it you can leave it as External Storage, and it can be read in any computer or device like it always could, the drawback is apps cannot be moved to it.
Dec 18, 2017 at 17:03 comment added JosephK Is there a way to take a phone that comes with this awful OS "feature" (typical Google "all your belongs to us" totalitarian-behavior) and revert it to Android 5.x, so we can have workable SD-Storage (readable in other devices, separate, etc) again? My wife got a phone with this on it, and it is also 1/2 the speed of my same-Ram/Cpu phone, that runs on Android 5.x, so there is performance to be gained, as well.
