I jumped from iOS to Android last year, and wasn’t interested on spending much, so plumped for a 128gb Pixel 9 to replace the 128gb 13 mini I had. I never ran out of room on the iPhone, so figured I was golden.
What I failed to account for is just how much more you can do with an Android handset. And it turns out you need quite a lot more space for those activities.
So yeah, I don’t keep running out as such, but with hindsight I’d have gone for the next option up.
Interesting. I’ve had my phone for over 2 years now and I’m only up to 91 GB used. There’s multiple offline maps in there, a separate Linux install, over a hundred apps, some cached music and lots of photos and video, but I still wouldn’t know how to fill it up further.
I’m a keen user of SyncThing, so there’s 20GB of my storage.
I’ve finally gotten around to setting up a Nextcloud server, so I should probably start using that for storing documents I need access to, which will free up a good chunk of space.
Ah, right. I can see how that would lead to much more usage. Any serious videographer probably has a vastly different storage usage than the average phone user does, with plenty of external storage too.

The big one for using storage space is 4K video and various video enhancements like ML based Slow Motion (5 min of footage can take 7-8 GB easily).
