However, a good amount of that storage was was from older photos and videos of the cloud downloaded on it. I don't plan on playing too many games, but perhaps the 4k videos and photos could take their toll in 2-3 years vs 1080p photos on Pixel 2XL? Especially when Google is offering 7 years If support for the 8 series. I wass thinking of getting a 256GB version and returning the 128GB version of the Pixel 8 Pro I bought today.

My phone has only 64GB and I've used only 27GB of it. 31GB when cache is built up I'm assuming your phone is at least 4-5 years old. Newer phones take up a lot more storage for the latest OS.

creativeme 11/13/23 4:18:16 PM #31:	obviously depends on the person. for a lot 128gb is fine if they don't do much with the phone but text/call/internet. i have 512gb on my phone and used up 270gb of it in the 2ish years i've had it. so 256gb wouldn't be enough for me. i went to the metallica concert last night and a 3.5 minute vid i took is 500mb itself. so 4k video definitely eats up space quick. 4k pics if you take A LOT will eat up space a lot too. if you pay for the cloud it's not really an issue since you can just transfer to that and free up space but i never been a fan of the cloud and prefer to just keep my own hard backups which i have cleaned off the majority of the pics/vids on this phone a few times already. honestly if i kept everything i've ever had on this phone including games and other apps and just never deleted anything i'm sure my phone would have been completely full awhile ago. --- This is a sig <cite>creativeme posted [p:977195646] in is 128GB o...

RAAAWWWRRR 11/14/23 1:03:28 AM #37:	I've recently just bought the new Samsung ZFlip 5. I was debating to either go for 256GB or the 512GB. Trust me.. recording videos in 4K really takes up tons of space. I've decided to go for the 256GB because I'm no longer gonna record vids on my phone as i'm planning to buy a dedicated 4K camera. Not sure how many have Instagram here, but my insta stories also takes up lots of storage as well.. sheeeesh. Overall, I feel that 256GB is the sweet spot. 128GB is too low imo.. --- Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RTX 4080 ASUS ROG STRIX/PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition #31,033/Xbox One X Platinum Taco Bell Limited Edition, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Sex <cite>RAAAWWWRRR posted [p:977204487] in is 128GB o...

But I already requested a color change at the last minute as an attempt to match the one I bought from bestbuy, and the fact that I might have to ask to return it is going to annoy them.
