      Anonymous, 02 Jan 2023Awesome, Samsung is the best. Not true. Still have my Note 9. Pretty slow and has a lot of problems

        John, 02 Jan 2023So does the base price which will get higher price point. S... moreSee where you're coming from here, but we'll likely get deals from carriers like with the s22, and also be happy it's not apple that charges 100 dollars more every year for pretty much the same exact phone. Not to mention apple charges more for an extra camera.

          AnonD-731363, 02 Jan 202310-15 years ago phones had 64 MB up to 1 maybe 2GB storage ... more"In 10 years, even basic phones will have 8K recording and flagships will go to 16 or maybe 32k."

          Yeah... that's not how things work, I don't think that technology will be adopted in the near future, 16k is 133MP and 32K is 530MP, to record 16K you would need 800Mbps bitrate and for 32K 3.2Gbps

          8K has been possible to use since 2014, and still today it has not been standardized

            blue, 02 Jan 2023And the real outcome of it? Why having 16GB just because so... moreTo handle everything better. And open more apps without reloading any app.

              Samsung should have been doing this when they cut off the microSD card support across the whole lineup since the S21 series. Both the vanilla Note10 and vanilla Note20 doesn't have microSD card support, but Samsung wisely give 256GB internal storage. For smartphones without microSD card support, 256GB should be the norm.

                Should have been 512gb as minimum with how you people seem to only use to shooting in 8k

                      So does the base price which will get higher price point. So what are you so happy about?

                      You always had your option to get 256 anyway..

                      Samsung basically telling you - we want more of your money if you want our product

                        blue, 02 Jan 2023Why?Because you pay extra money. You should get extra hardware. And why not? Many brands already give it. It may be an overkill but also useful by heavy users.

                          10-15 years ago phones had 64 MB up to 1 maybe 2GB storage options mostly only apple goes as high as 8 and 16 with Iphone 4.
                          And the price werent that big.
                          Nowdays even a 512GB micro SD card can be bought under 50 euros.
                          All phones even the most basic ones smartphones should come with at least of 256GB storage.
                          Bigger storage is not that expensive problem is we know that but those companies will ask horrendeous ammount of money for bigger storage anyway.
                          In like 10 years options went from MB to GB so in next 10 years i am expecting options will went from GB to TB and in 2030 a 4TB should be bare minimum for a cellhphone to be honest.
                          You never know when you will needs that space. 8K video recording is very disk space hungry.
                          In 10 years even basic phones will have 8K recording and flagships will go as high as 16 or maybe 32k.
                          Anyway well lets see how and where tech will goes.

                              Anonymous, 02 Jan 2023The comment I answered talked about „phones twice as cheap“... moreEven sub 300 phones got faster storage system these days. But you're saying that se and 14 pro max have similar storage system? You can't be more wrong

                                mawlki, 02 Jan 2023100% BS Maybe maybe the S23 Ultra will have 256GB base mem... more"but the common S23 will have 128 GB."
                                I don't think that's the case, UFS 4 only seems to be available in 256GB
