Weekly poll results: most people are fine with 256GB storage on their phones

26 June 2022
Some can squeeze into 128GB or less, but not as many as last year. Also, the importance of the microSD slot is waning.

IPHONE should give SD card support, just like the MacBook has built in slot.

iPhone is too low spec.

        Grab a Pixel 1 through 5 series and just upload all your favorite movies and TV shows onto Google Photos and you're set for your life. Just think of Google Photos as your unlimited external hard drive that doesn't need a plug and computer to work.

        I'm thinking of buying a Pixel 2 XL in panda to help my 3 out with uploading at least 2+ terabytes full of my favorite movies and TV shows. I lost one of my plugs for my external hard drive, so I'm thinking of just downloading the files again and then uploading them via my Pixels.

        Saver option is perfect for my needs since most of my movies are only at 720p with very few being 1080p. So I don't lose quality. Google Photos eliminates my need to ever buy a big microSD card again unless it's for a gaming handheld like Switch or Deck. And 512 GB only goes for $60 these days.

                I have been using an iPhone 8 Plus with 60 GB of memory since November 2017 and at this moment I still have 25 GB of free memory.

                          The other user claims a phone just because is flagship has obligation to have at least 256GB. Just because person wants to have flagship phone, does not mean this person needs 256/512/1000GB.

                          My current phone is my 4th smartphone. I've have 1 low end and 2 mid midranges and 1 flagship. Just got flagship because everything is better.
                          All apps I need do not even use 19GB. I do not keep 4K vids on phone (pointless when my screen is 1080p),
                          What would I do with 256? or 512GB?

                          I do not see problem phones having 128/256/512/1000GB, but lower options like 32/64GB should still exist.

                                    The poll is bluffing. My old 3-year-old J4+ can survive just fine with 32GB of storage. 3 years of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google data and I'm still left with around 5 GB left. I even downloaded and kept PES2021 in it for a long time. I now use a new phone tho.

                                        Well apple users are bathing in a stinky swamp for not having SD card slot.
                                        Android users do the same because most flagships and half midrangers have no SD slot too.
                                        Soon people will use cable which one side will be used for phone and other side for USB Key. or external harddrive.
