What is the Memory and Storage in your current phone vs future phone

I was curious about the memory/storage configuration in the phones you are currently using. What do you prefer in the next phone you are likely to buy. 

Mine is 6/128GB -a 2 year old RN10Pro. Next phone would likely be 8/256GB. I'm not a gamer and dont see a need for 12GB models.

Let's hear from the fellow dimers.

8/256gb is the new minimum now.

128 gb gets filled very fast and ram usage is now about 5-6 gb

Mine is currently 6/128 for two phones (2-3 yr old). Next would be 8/256 if I get a good deal or I'll buy 6/128 again.

Earlier using note 5 pro with 4/64 and that was good enough for me

But that became dead and now bought m4 pro with 6/128 and now i have just 15 gb free space now earlier 5-10 gv was available in 64 gb also

Didn't have stored anything extra but still 128gb is not enough now

Looks like Will have to upgrade to 256gb in near future disappointed disappointed.

Recently upgraded from 4/64 (Redmi note 8) to Infinix Hot 30i (8/128) got in 2700/- in exchange offer. I use phone only for calls and finance related stuff so camera, screen resolution, audio, video, etc etc doesn't matter, only thing i need is that it should not get hung. Using 64GB external memory card purchased in 2014. Will upgrade  if i find hanging issue.

I need 512 gb minimum in my primary phone as I don't like uninstalling reinstalling apps and hate sorting data every few days.

With extra storage I am tension free and can use as emergency pendrive or use it to store extra content or data during travelling

For example I keep 4 different versions of YouTube fork app with diff email accounts. One is for music, one for news, etc

How do you use the Youtube fork apps with diff email accounts?

Also why not use a microSD of same capacity instead of 512gb on the phone? You can transfer between phones and dont have to worry about data loss in the rare case of phone dying.

Dont you think 64 will get up filled a lot quick in the future given how big the apps are getting these days. Even 128 seems to be hardly enough

current iPhone: 512GB

previous iPhone used for 6 years was 256GB (still using as secondary phone)

And no, I do not make video content. Just have lots of apps, photos and stuff randomly downloaded from internet. What's app chat history of 12-13 years with photos (no videos) is also massive.
