$1449 or not, does anyone even NEED 512 GB of storage on a smartphone?

Well, 128gb is a decent minimum for me, but I don't care too much about pictures, videos or watching movies on a phone, as tons of weirdos do.

If you do want to store music, tons of pictures and a decent amount of movies, 512gb is still quite a lot but perfectly reasonable.

only if you have fucking massive libraries of music.

I don’t even need more than 16gb, I don’t store shit on my phone which I can stream

Or if you use lossless. I have 172 gigs of FLAC and my library isn't all that big.

if you're on the go a lot and drive through the country without signal/ have offline pandora stations/ save a bunch of bandcamp .flac music it fills up fast.

My note 8 is almost full and I got a free 128gb micro sd with it as a promo.

That’s retarded placebo shit though.

inb4 flagship lagdroids start costing just as much. >If Apple can get away with it so can we.
Holy shit we need to reign in the corporations in this country

>using a storage format on a phone to listen to music
Jesus kek.

I live in finland though and the reception is pretty decent afaik

You people really don't understand how females (primary target of iPhones) LOVE to take pictures and videos of themselves and their cats.

t. gf is your typical dumb blond

And you never traveled outside of Finland nor plan to do it?

4K video racks up fast

Yeah I have traveled a lot

4K video, porn collection, lossless audio

I'd use it to store lossless music and high quality anime.

yes if it would play SACD .dsf's

512GB and a usb2.0 controller

why do retards clamor for sd card slots?

I live and travel in alabama, and surprisingly the reception is pretty good 90% of the time. But it's very hilly and the state is really just cities suspended on trees so they tend to eat up signal too.

ok, weirdo

It's not. 50k would be big.

>have 172gb of 24bit Flac lossless music
>no headphone jack so have to listen through compressed Bluetooth audio with distortion and interference

What kind of cool things can I do with a $1449 phone compared to a $200 phone, friendos?

You can unlock it with your face I guess.

Make high quality dick pics.

Why not? All this "why no expandable storage??" shit now "that's too much storage!"
You people can never be content

>a phone will have a powerful and high quality enough dac to drive headphones good enough to notice the difference between lossless and lossy compressed music

Damn you fags are stupid. Ironically when talking about the iPhone Xs too

Does portrait mode work with penises?

It’s not bait you’d claim your water would taste better if it was bottled

I think we're talking about mobile storage in general.

Yea but that dude said he had 172gb of music on his pc so that might be reason someone needs so much storage on a phone.

Only with the worthy ones.

Unlike FLACutism, water taste is obviously affected by container.

If my phone had 512gb of fast UFS storage I'd be ecstatic. I've got 30gb of music, a few gb of pictures, a bunch of random texts and pdfs, but what really takes up space is video. I take a lot of videos, and high res video eats up storage.
Having to move a few dozen gb of videos off of my phone every month is a chore.

Smart phones are computing devices, and they should rightfully become more fully featured and more capable as time goes on. Its actually tragic that they're still so dumbed down.

oh, are we ON !?

That's definitely not a big music library.
Pic related, mine.
And I basically only have like 177 directories that include each major artist. And a bunch of mp3s on top of that by various, less-known ones (mostly bandcamp random titles).

So it's a smallish music collection. And yet, it weighs more than 100 GBs.

It occurs to me now that most of my music is up in the bandcamp cloud.

holy shit i could buy a fukkin DRONE with a better camera and more storage for less than $1500
what the fuck is wrong with people

I'm creating a lifetime archive and thinking about storing them later on m-discs. that's why it's huge. I don't trust into longevity of electrical phone signals.

yes

That's fair. I just realized now that my old ipod video still has files on it, then thought about how much missing music are still on cd's and shit laying around that I'll never probably find again.

I should really start saving a lot of that too. So many remixes and stuff from the early mid 2000's are lost now.

912GB total on my Note 9, get on my level

The fact that the vast majority of people will use these for light browsing exclusively is quite sad. Consumerism at its finest.
Well, I guess it's nice for poor people who think $1500 is a lot and want to impress their friends with it.

The fact that people are buying $1500 computers, and not realizing they're computers, is whats really sad.

You have no idea how much data the average person generates with 4K recording and photos.
Head outside more, incel.

>4K video racks up fast
How many 4K monitors does everyone have to watch those videos on? It's a glorified gimmick which is for the most part still in development and unstable.

>4K monitors does everyone have
Economy 4K televisions are $300 now. Just about everyone boyo

This. I've got 256 on my phone now because that's the default. I have never needed more than 16gb. Hell, 8 might be doable if android weren't such bloated shit.

Yes. I have 64gb internal and 128gb SD card filled.

IPhone is a rip off for cucks though

People who actually care use dedicated cameras.

>implying roasties aren't shelling out big bucks on new phones just so their "foodie" Instagram photos look 10% better

>does anyone even NEED 512 GB of storage on a smartphone?

Of course not, just use the SD card.

Goat

Plus they won't store their precious footage on a phone.

>apple offers 512gb
>who needs it!
>no mention of note 9 512gb

How much does Samsung charge per GB vs how much does Apple charge per GB?

>it's down to price now
>op literally says who needs that much storage

You also get a bigger notch. Worth the money.

If it's very cheap who cares if you need it or not?

Does Samsung use as fast storage though? Applels stuff is high end laptop tier.

Do you know what a 4K TV is? They are fucking everywhere.

storing porn on mobile devices is just asking for trouble

>implying there is a better way to watch porn in the shower

>Not using 320 mp3.
>Thinking you can even hear the difference between 320 mp3 and flac

Only thing flac gains from being lossless is white noise. There are numerous videos and articles proving that, unless you enjoy the white noise background in every single song you hear, them FLAC is useless.

>people complain that iPhone doesn't have sd card slot
>Apple gives iPhone with more storage than you will ever need and 1000000 faster than a external sd card
>512GB is too much

Make up your mind.

MP3 quality varies wildly, some of it will be decent 320kb/s encodes and some will be sub 128 and re-endoded 12 times by some retard. Getting FLAC means the quality is consistently good, and you can re-encode to decent formats like vorbis or opus which are better than mp3 and almost impossible to find music in already.

Yes I NEED 512 GB because music
>proceeds to pay Spotify

It wouldn't be a problem but on most unrooted phones you can't make apps install onto the sd card and the internal one runs out fast.

>tfw still not enough
not a single lossless file either

the only reason I use spotify is because my phone can't hold all my music.
I currently only put music on my phone that isn't on spotify, my phone currently has 73 GBs of music

post tree pastebin

There's something deeply wrong with a site when it glorifies hoarding as a measure of social pride. I used to be like this, but after a couple of data losses, now I have a smaller collection with no management, no stress, and no regrets. Try it.

Poco F1 6GB/64GB $435 CAD after taxes and s/h + 256 GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC card for $65 CAD.

$500 CAD ~= $390 USD

Iphone is better, but not 4x better. Heck I think the F1 with the SD845 has a more powerful GPU, though nothing touches the A12 for CPU performance.

I have no idea what that is or how to do it

>"I don't need it, so that means there's no way anyone else could either."

too bad iphones still cant play flac

I have a 64 GB iPhone 8+. I keep original pictures on my phone and iCloud I have over 4,000 photos and 4k vids, other files and stuff and I still have 12.5 Gigs left. If I had a 512 GB phone I wouldn’t need iCloud. I do have 63 GB out of 200GB iCloud Drive because I rip so much jootoob content.

Can't compare some ghetto SD card with NVMe storage. Nor the cameras. And then of course there is the whole software side.

If you want continuety, iPhone isn't 4x better but infinite times better. "Get X instead of Y" suggestions tend to miss the point completely.

Bullshit. macOS, iOS, and iTunes have had native FLAC support over a year now. It was added to try to drum up audiophile interest in the HomePod (which also supports FLAC).

ok I figured out how to do it, but I have to upgrade to a "pro" account to upload the text, since the text file is over 4MB.

4K video at 26 frames a second. Live Photo’s. Encrypted iMessage. Upto 30 people in face time at the same time. What else can’t you do?

Depends how much the asshole likes to force friends to watch their videos.

>Upto 30 people in face time at the same time
Not yet.

Soon

I got an XA2 for $300, 23MP seems like enough for pictures of my cock.

user, please. This is a tech board. 23MP is as useful as 3Ghz.

I have a 64GB phone with a 64GB microSD, I don't think I take that much videos and pictures but a 5 day trip and I'm usually strapped for storage.
