128GB, 256GB...or Cloud All the Way? 💾

Seeing my Nothing Phone (2) 📱sitting at 213GB used out of 256GB, I was thinking today, have I 'byte' off more than I can store? 💾 ![](https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-06-14/1749918786-510581-screenshot-20250614-215122.png "banner") This is even when I have a 2TB Google Drive plan (between me & my wife). 200GB+ used on that drive ☁️ ![](https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-06-14/1749919081-258173-screenshot-20250614-220632.png "banner") At a broader discussion, looks like 64GB is becoming thing of past👴👵. Even base of the line iPad now starts at 128GB vs last year 64GB 🤏. Also, iPad Air starts at 128GB. iPhones anyways have already made the shift and most Android phones today also come with 128GB as base storage 💾. Despite rise of cloud storage ☁️ and many popular games 🎮 needing a constant internet connection, still the storage requirements are increasing day by day. When cloud became popular, we thought now internal storage will not matter but clearly that hasn’t been the case 👀. I also feel somehow, no matter how much storage 💾 we buy, it always seems to fill up 🤦. Last time I thought 128GB will be more than enough and this time 256GB, but still i am already at 200GB+ used. Is it a circle 🔁? If we will have 64GB, we will somehow manage and if we will have even 1TB, we will ultimately fill it and crib 🚼? Nowadays, with phones and tablets lasting longer than before (lack of innovation by majority of the brands), choosing ideal storage 💾 is becoming a more long term bet than ever 🧐. Would love to hear your views on 👇 1. Which bracket you are in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB? Current usage? 2. How much do you think is an ideal storage for next 3-4 years for a phone or a tablet? 3. Any hacks you use to clean up storage and keep your device running smooth?

CMF1_hacker Sd cards anyday are the best but not every phone maker provides space for sd card. Its all business

Es wäre toll wenn das nächste eine 512GB Speicher Option hätte denn ich und viele da draußen wollen bestimmt nicht an ihren Speicherplatz denken und ich hab hier auf meiner 256GB Variante nicht so viel drauf wie ich gerne hätte und nutze schon 240GB
