PhoneAddict, 11 Sep 2021My storage of my current phone is at 90gb filled from 128gb... moreIt depends on with what you fill it. All my photos and videos stored in Google photos in my 2 year old 3a XL with 64GB storage (54GB user-accessible) I still have 12GB space available.

If you fill it with movies and music that you downloaded or play 10-20 heavy games that have obb files of 2-3GB or just store files that you do not need and never do a clean-up in your device, even 512GB storage can be filled.

So that ends in whether you are of a user group that "wants more and more" or you are compliant user who can make things work. As I said, it is quite EASY to fill ANY storage I get on my phone. But the thing is whether you ACTUALLY need to store that much files in your phone or you rather should use a cloud storage that can be accessible everywhere through the net.

    +IP67
    +not a chinese phone with "who knows what contains" closed source firmware
    +6.34" OLED screen
    +rear FPS (faster than in-screen and more convenient/secure than side-mount)
    +4680mAh 2-day battery life
    +sd765g does not deplete battery as fast as sd888 or sd898
    +three cameras with GOOGLE software
    +UFS 2.1 storage (most midrange still use emmc which is SLOWER)

        My storage of my current phone is at 90gb filled from 128gb after owning it a little less then 3 years.. So a bigger storage option is key..

              I have been using my 3a XL with 64GB daily for 2 years and only 2-3 times I needed to backup old files to drive to save space. 128 would be more than enough for normal usage.

              If you are an enthusiast though, this device is definitely not for you. Please wait for pixel 6/pro. This device is for everyday tasks and for standard usage - not heavy gamers and not vidographers 😊

                I owned poco x3 nfc for short time, and though it was snappy, you need to love the UI to use it, which wasn't really my favorite :(

                  something as simple as a dedicated SD Card slot could have made buying this phone more logical. 128 gb storage is a scam!

                    Devil Himself, 09 Sep 2021Tomorow or Monday at latest I am purchasing Xiaomi Poco X3 ... moreDepends on what you want. If you want a phone for gaming being able to get by everyday tasks, go for the Poco. If you're just a minimalist user looking for a phone that can get by day to day tasks (social media, listening to songs etc) and a good camera then go for the Pixel.

                    I have experiences with Pocophones (Poco X3) and Pixels, and they're both a good option

                                Give me a smaller Nokia XR20 with those flat rubberized edges and you can take my money. And while we are at it, without holes or notches - small bezels like latest Xperias are more than acceptable.

                                Probably you will say now that I am a Sony and Nokia fanboy. I have something new for you people from Idiocracy land : it's called personal preference.

Maybe you forgot the touch of a human, but it is also soft and rounded. Lately so many apple fanboys are around. Once apple got soft sides every apple fanboy was all over it. Now that apple returned back to iphone 5s times to 2013, apple fanboys also praised their move. Have your opinion guys

                                    Another "rubber tire design" phone. All edges rounded, sides round, corners rounded. It's like the kids designing for Google discovered Fillet command in their favorite CAD software. Look mum - no edges !

                                    Never mind that flat sides allow for one basic thing which everybody forgot in this all-glass no -bezels super-camera era - to securely and comfortably hold your phone.

Not excellent but more than average in terms of construction quality, durability and support. Most of the bloatware can be removed or blocked so it's not unavoidable. Samsung phones are pricier and even the premium ones have bloatware and invasive publicity despite their profit margins are far higher
