      My phone has 256gb storage and it’s constantly full. Next phone I’m getting needs to have 1tb+ storage

        what do you use that storage for? could you send a screenshot about the storage usage statistics?

        I have so many apps that I rarely use and I still only have used 45 GB. I use an sd card for the media, though, and a lot of app backups that you probably can’t do anyway, but that’s not much of a difference

            hmm I see. what kind of media is that, movies and music or pictures and recorded videos? if it’s the latter, you don’t have a computer at home right?

              It’s all of the above. I do have computer and self host plex but I need to keep some of the stuff locally because I travel a lot

          45G is often the size of the OS nowadays. :/ Mine is 30G by itself. The rest of my 128G is taken up by apps/photos/videos I could admittedly clean up. I also have a 512GB SD card I use to carry my entire music library (well, a compressed version).

            on my device, calyx os takes 22 GB, and I think this is a lot. I can’t understand what takes 45 GB in a system. Technically probably it’s only half of it used at a time because of A/B partitions, but half of that is still a lot
