I wholeheartedly believe that 128GB of base storage on modern Android flagships should be a thing of the past. It’s just too little at this point when system files and updates already block a sizeable chunk of it, and the remaining is taken up by the ever-ballooning app sizes — God knows what kind of data they are storing, because Excel has no business running into hundreds of MBs (or sometimes GBs). And did you see what a clown the newly launched Pixel 10 series looked like a clown when the iPhone 17 launched with a minimum of 256GB storage across the board?
While Google does offer 256GB as base storage in a handful of markets, in most countries, including the US, the Pixel 10 still starts with 128GB of storage. And if you’re already stuck with the latter or cannot stretch the budget for a higher capacity, Google has a lifesaver built right into your Pixel phone.
