Phone storage

[Jfalls63]

How much of your phone's storage are you actually using?
16gb use to be the minimum amount needed. Now with seamless updates, the system partition average is about 13gb, not leaving much for user data.
With my 32gb Moto X4, I still have approximately 16gb free.
With photos and documents backed up to Google, I find that I'm not using a lot of storage.
With my SD card, I only saved TWRP backups on my rooted device, current rom zip files and Nova backups.
Now that I'm stock due to lack of development, SD card mostly empty.

Pretty much using up my 16gb.
There'll be no more system updates for this old girl though.
She's pretty minimal but that's fine with me.

Well it is almost half.

Still got space, but the phone is only a few months old. So glad I didn't buy the 64GB version.

(Remember that the Pixel doesn't have an SD slot).

What the heck, 21 GB of audio and music?! 😲

That's really not that much - I know people who carry a lot more.

I'm not of the generation that streams everything

What the heck, I had 1.40 GB of cached data, why do I keep getting so much? Last time it was like 1.20 GB...

Looks at that system storage... 'Comes with 16 GB' yeah.... Sure.... Glad I have an SD card...

Guess I was kinda curious of where the need for 124gb and higher storage is coming from. Didn't take into account, music and video libraries.
Thanks for sharing.

That's why having an SD card slot comes in handy. You don't need internal storage for media (as long as it's backed up).

I'm also from another generation..I'm always thinking: "what if one day I wake up and there's not internet any more..any thing can happen, right???"..so I do believe in saving..I've saved over 500(not crappy but very good movies in a terrabyte)..as for my external sd card on my §5 i have another 50 that I need to get moving out of it..asap..so this is what looks like..
